2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Shake, rattle, and roll
Driver front either dash or door rattles on poor surface streets. I am a hyper miler, I thought I could get 50 mpg. I get 46-47 mpg. Still learning how I can extend mileage.

Great looking car, good features, 1 problem
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?

RAV 4 you
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.

too much time in the shop
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.

As good as it gets?
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.
