I drove the XLE. It is higher than the Subaru outback. Not as noisy as some reviews were stating. Tight steering and good breaking. Comfortable but, not luxurious. A low level noise can be heard when backing. Display was easy to see. No front sensor. The dealer had just received the vehicle I drove and it was pretty dirty but, I could tell it would certainly have curb appeal when cleaned. My wife was very impressed. This is a good thing.

We purchased a 2024 Rav4 hybrid in January, 2024. The car fits are need and has gotten good fuel economy. The issue is with the hybrid system and our delaershipp that can't seem to get it corrected. It will flash a hybrid malfunction on the dash, however it seems to drive normally. To date, this car has been in the shop a combined 6 weeks to attempt to repair. The last time after one month the service manager said the had it fixed by a small modulke that was bad. One Month later it is in the shop again wiyth the same issue and they have diagnosed it as a bad inverter. The dealer says they have engaged with Toyota corporate, as they have never seen these issues... I believe we have lost all confidence in this car, perhaps it was built on a friday late in the afternoon. Odds are high that we get rid of this car now unfortunate because it really fit our needs.

Overall it seems to be a well built car with safety features and nice infotainment system although the voice command “Hey Toyota” feature is not that great. They all wheel drive seems to be really capable. My biggest complaint is the lane departure and lane centering when in cruise control is on is awful. Seems like a constant fight to keep it in line unlike my 2024 Tacoma which works exceptionally well.took it to a dealer and they said it was working properly and they just wouldn’t use it if it throws you all over the road. It is a safety hazard that should be fixed it pulls the car to the center line all the time and jerks the wheel sometimes to the center or shoulder of the road. I always have to keep pressure to keep it in the center of the road. I just quit using it. My 2024 Tacoma practically drives itself. What’s different with the Rav?

I previously gave the Rav 4 Hybrid a 4 star review. Not anymore! We were driving thinking everything was fine when the brakes suddenly came on. Turns out the Pre-collision braking system was convinced we were going to hit a bike in the lane next to us. If the timing had been slightly different, a car tailgating us just moments before would have hit us (good thing people hardly ever tailgate). There was no ‘extremely high possibility of a frontal collision’. The bike was 8-10 feet to our side in another lane, and under control. We have driven 5000 miles in our Rav 4 in many more ‘hazardous’ conditions than this including the hundreds of miles traveled getting home after this event. Why the PCS triggered in this case is beyond me but I now have no trust in the system. The driver can NOT override the system when the event occurs and there is no warning. It can be disabled but according to the manual - ‘The system is automatically enabled each time the power switch is turned to ON’. I find this unacceptable.
Great car with a few things to improve

My wife and I were so sick of our unreliable Hyundai and Kia vehicles that we purchased this RAV4. I was attracted to the reliable Toyota 2.5 I4, the bulletproof E-CVT, the 39mpg fuel economy, and the strong resale values. Overall, I'm very happy with our purchase after 15k miles. My wife loves commuting in the car. It gets far, far better fuel economy, while being nicer to drive than our old Sorento. However, Toyota got some things wrong on this vehicle, and buyers should understand that before committing. Good: The car is nice to drive overall. It feels more powerful than its 219hp rating indicates, thanks to the instant torque of the electric motor. Thanks to the SE suspension package, the handling is sound for a car in this class, although the ride is a bit stiff. The stock tires are decent in rain. The seats themselves are reasonably comfortable (but see below issues). We get 35mpg, which is tremendous for a car in this class. Our previous SUV got maybe 20mpg. The stop start system is surprisingly seamless, and the electric motors push the car with ease even as the engine is starting up. Bad: The driving position and ergonomics of this vehicle are terrible! I'm 5'9" (the median height for American men) and I simply cannot find a comfortable driving position. The seat just doesn't go down far enough. The steering wheel, even at the lower notches, blocks my view of the bottom portion of the dash display. I cannot imagine how taller guys deal with this vehicle. It's just unacceptable. I've taken ergonomics classes, and I firmly believe that Toyota optimized the interior for the average height female driver, at the expense of everyone else. The door handles are at the wrong spot and it's harder to pull the door shut than it should be. The dash display is poorly designed. The layout is confusing and not intuitive. There are too many small icons that have important info that gets lost in the chaotic layout. And some of it is blocked by the steering wheel. The infotainment is not well designed. It takes too many taps to get from Android Auto to the radio controls. The radio controls are not intuitive. I still haven't figured out how to add a second driver profile. My phone will only connect wirelessly on Android Auto for a few seconds. I feel like they literally need to start over. It's the worst I've ever used in a vehicle that has Android Auto/Apple Carplay. How is it that Fords and Kias from 7 years ago have better infotainment than Toyota in 2024?? I will say that the sound quality is decent. The 35mpg we consistently got is not anywhere near the 39mpg advertised. Also, the hybrid system has some odd behavior at highway speeds. It seems to engage and disengage with a minor jolt. The radar cruise control is very annoying. If it senses a slower car ahead, it slows down. Great, in theory, but the system slows down waaayyy too far back from the next car. I found it very frustrating. Other cars will constantly try to cut in front of you if you try to use the cruise control religiously. I always wanted a car with rain sensing wipers. But, it seems like the system doesn't keep up with heavier rain at times. Ugly: research "cablegate". I was not informed of this when I purchased. Toyota simply added a weep hole in the hope that the $5k cable won't degrade before the warranty expires. I'm considering buying an extended warranty, just because of that. Also, the specter of battery replacement down the line is a possibility, and this one has the more expensive lithium ion pack. Overall, I think we made the right choice at the right time. Downsizing a bit was worth the huge increase in MPG and (hopefully) better dependability. I'm so sick of unreliable cars that have failed me with dead engines and transmissions. If you keep a car long term, and really care about gas mileage, then this is a great vehicle. But if you lease, and you value things like a good infotainment system, comfortable driving position, and smooth driving experience, shop around before buying a RAV4 hybrid. Make sure you fit in the seat and that you can put up with the wonky infotainment.
