Used 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SUV Consumer Reviews
Great mileage, No headroom, Android Auto problems
Great mileage... Getting about 38 MPG in the summer and 32 MPG in the winter. No headroom with moon roof. I'm 6'3" and have trouble fitting my hand between my head and the headliner. Concerned I will likely get hurt in a collission. Also, the headrests push your head forward whuch causes cronic neck pain. Considering a complaint to the NTSB concerning the headrest. It's a real problem noted in all the forums. Wireless Android Auto is a great feature except that it regularly disconnects in certain places and requires a 5 step manual procedure to re-enable Android Auto. Very annoying, especially if it lose connection at a critic turn during navigation. Moonroof does not close automatically when car is shutoff. Have left it open a couples times by accident. Would have liked a plug-in option, but not worth $11K more for a Prime (plus the cost of installing a home charger). All around, not a bad car for a smaller person.

Complex radio but love the car
XLE Premium Hybrid with the larger screen upgraded JBL sound system. We are having a difficult time figuring out the new sound system and so far IRA Toyota has been less than helpful. Struggling with Apple CarPlay and switching between functions. Way more complicated than it needs to be. Also having a hard time adding my Wife’s phone. Otherwise loving the quiet comfort of the interior and the pseudo leather upholstery. Already seeing in excess of 40 MPG with under 1,000 miles on the odometer. Already looking forward to a cross country road trip next summer (and it’s late November).

Toyotas biggest blunder
I purchased my RAV4 Hybrid Woodland in October, 2023. It has been nothing but a headache and Toyota could not be less helpful. The car was built with such poor quality in already trying to get rid of the car. Headliner rattle, dashboard squeak, steering wheel buzz, rear storage rattle, visor rattle, plastic panels and handles popping off, wheel squeaks. This car has zero interior quality. I’m surprised I could hear any of the noises as the cabin volume is also terrible on this car. Going over 70? Get ear plugs. The Toyota case managers are of zero help. I’ve had a case open for 6 or 7 weeks now and NOTHING has been done. I literally mean nothing. My case manager made all sorts of promises and never did any of them. Their supervisor was equally unhelpful. I had to find an executives email and send them a letter directly asking for help. Now the “executive team” is helping me. But the dealerships have no idea what’s going on. Not surprising since I’ve been to two dealers so far and one couldn’t diagnose any issues but drove my car recklessly. The other could diagnose the noises, but “forgot” to change my oil, which I didn’t find out about till 5000 miles later, then they also damaged my headliner and wheel and drove my car 55 miles to a shop who could help because they couldn’t fix the issues themselves. I’m very disappointed with my Toyota and Toyota as a whole. All the talk of reliability and quality has completely escaped me. I could have saved thousands and purchased a comparable vehicle of another brand. Now I feel like I was duped.
