Exceeded my expectations

My driving consists of 60% city and 40% highway. My average mileage is continuously above 40MPG. If you are looking for a well equipped hybrid with plenty of cargo space check out a RAV4 Hybrid.

Liked its acceleration, gas mileage, user friendly infotainment cotrols, roominess, and predicted reliability. Didnt like its high price, along with dealer markups. The cabin is slightly noisey. Mileage dropped from 40 to 38mpg irreguardless of driving habits.

We Love This Car

Sold my old CR-V and bought this 2023 Rav-4 XLE Hybrid. Amazing car. We love all of the safety features. The Apple Car Play software has worked great. No USB wires to deal with. This is a very quiet car. The motor rumble that some complain about is barely noticeable. The hybrid at 219 horsepower engine makes acceleration to highway speeds a snap. Of course the mpg is as advertised. I get about 38 mpg in city (Seattle is very hilly) and about 40 mpg on the highway. Finally, I have never owned anything but an AWD car. This car is no exception and it works great in the snow. PS, we bought our Rav-4 in the Lunar Rock color so we named her “Luna”. Love it!

I absolutely love my rav 4 prime. Love the gas mileage. Since I mostly drive under 40 miles a day, able to drive on battery only, most days. Last fill, due to many days using no gas, worked out to 89.1 mpg. Battery gives me 45 miles per charge. Car is very comfortable, excellerates fast, handles great on the windy mountain roads I drive daily. I have no complaints about this car. Its also the prettiest car Ive ever owned!! Owned three 4Runners, 1 Camry and 1 Coralla over the years. Love all my Toyotas. Drove them all over 200k miles before selling them and buying a new one. Never in the shop for anything except regular maintenance. Very reliable.

Smooth ride with nice features

Finally got my new 2023 Toyota hybrid Premium RAV4 in July. It’s a smooth ride with nice features and great gas mileage. I initially had rated it 1-star due to my new car having a fuel tank capacity issue (tank would not fill up all the way), but Toyota was able to fix the issue (entire tank had to be replaced due to a defect), so I have updated my review to 5 stars. Now that the tank has been replaced, my fuel capacity shows 540 miles till empty. Other than having to deal with the gas tank capacity issue, the car has been great. Love not having to pay so much for gas.

2023 RAV4, XSE, and I'm still amazed!

I bought my XSE Hybrid earlier this year, around April. I got a great deal on it, considering the options this SUV came with, especially the JBL stereo with that huge screen. I get ridiculous fuel mileage, beyond 50 city driving, highway around 45! The comfort is quite good, referring to the seats and leg/headroom. In some of the reviews I've read, people have complained about the interior road noise. I have noticed no excessive noise whatsoever, unless it's because they purchased the base models? Maybe the tires making it loud? I don't know, mine came with Michelins. My XSE hybrid is very quiet, without even a rattle. Performance accelerating is impressive, instantaneous. The hybrid versions of the RAV4 is quite a bit faster than the "gas-only" versions. I know, I've owned both. I'm not saying the "gas-only" version is a slouch, it's certainly not. The handling of the XSE RAV4 is decent for a SUV, with very little lean around faster turns. I have always liked the RAV4, but the hybrid system adds the cherry on top!

We were lucky to find our 2023 RAV4 Xse hybrid on the lot. Someone had abandoned their order. It is a sharp RAV4 with black glossy accents over the wheels and both ends. The acceleration is impressive, as is the mileage…we are currently averaging 42 MPG. Ww love the Apple CarPlay feature on our 10.5 inch screen. The mapping is impressive, realistic. Lots of electronic features, a comfortable ride, beautiful blue stitching throughout and plenty of cargo room. Love it.

Had a 22 LE Hybrid, great car, silky smooth drivetrain....just no options. Got a 2023 XSE Hybrid and while it has all the options, the drivetrain is rough. Any transition from electric to ICE causes a jerking in the car. Like driving an old car with a U-joint out. Dealer will do nothing (says this is normal). My 3rd hybrid and I know this is not normal. Won't keep this car long unless I can find a dealer that will figure out what is wrong. Dealer still says nothing wrong….but they don’t even try to figure it out.
