Very few of the RAV Primes are in the US, but one can find one if you look hard enough. I found mine on Edmunds. I went with a dealer in Baltimore and purchased an SE. I preferred the extra amenities of the XSE, however, most of the dealers on the east coast have marked them up $3K over sticker. I have now had the SE for 3 weeks and am satisfied with it. It has a few shortcomings, only minutiae, with no front seat back pockets. I would prefer another cup holder but like I said it really is nothing I can’t cope with. Most of the reviews noted soft brakes but one can easily adapt. I wanted this vehicle for its utility and economy. It comes with all the safety advancements that Toyota offers. So far I am getting about 45 miles on a charge and have not used any gas for my short hops around town in 3 weeks. This car doesn’t handle like a race car but stomp on the pedal and it will beat most cars off the line (0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds!) All in all, a nice ride

I've only had it a week, but so far it's a great car. For most of my driving around town, I'm able to be all electric, getting ~40 miles per charge. It's zippy, too. Better pick-up than I expected. My last car was a 2010, so I'm still getting used to all the inside tech like the back-up camera, lane assist, cruise control that slows you down if needed, and the touch screen. Charging is easy in my garage - the cable is plenty long to reach the outlet. The one tiny thing I can imagine might bug me in the future is getting my hands dirty packing up the charging cable for long trips. Overall - I'm thrilled to have gotten my hands on this vehicle.

After driving my Rav4 XSE premium I can say it is the best of the 32 cars I have owned over the past 52 years. I have owned or driven every major non-exotic brand both domestic and imported. This car far exceeds my expectations. I thought my boss 302 was fast, not compared to this. Toyota's legendary quality and dependability plus cutting edge safety systems, technology, comfort, the amazing power with great MPG and MPGe pushes this car to the top of the vehicle choices for 2021. The available tax rebates make it an even better value. This is the fourth Rav4 in our family since 2006. We have a 2006 4cyl., 2009 and 2011 V6's, and now this. They are all still in the road with mileage from 90,000 to 275,000. This one is the cream of the crop. I just love it.
Love this Plug In Hybrid small SUV

So smooth, so quiet, so enjoyable. I have to say the many tech features will take time to fully understand and use but from the get go the car has been a joy to drive. I charge on 110 V after use an so far have not had to use any gas. 95% of my driving is within 30 miles of the house. One negative, as it is will all new cars, the headrests are really uncomfortable to me. They tilt my head forward at a very uncomfortable angle. I am below average height but I have heard that many others have issues with today's headrests. I use a back pillow to push myself about an inch forward in the seat and all is well.

Having done extensive research on cars all my life, and having owned many, this latest purchase to replace the Prius Prime Advanced that I loved had to be a tech stunner. It is. The 2021 RAV 4 PRIME XSE (one of the first to arrive on this Coast) has everything I want and much more. The Prius was the mileage champ for a plug-in hybrid but did not have AWD, a spare, excellent ground clearance and ALL the newest safety tech (it did have a lot though). This new RAV 4 hits all the marks and, with over 300 HP and a $7500 Federal Tax Credit (and FAST charging capability) and over 40 miles EV mode (which is the majority of my driving and fuel is free with my solar panels), what more could I want with a range of over 500 miles on a tank in straight driving. Comfy, Apple CarPlay, Alexa, XM, camera everywhere, auto front AND rear cross traffic auto stop plus every other imaginable safety feature and reasonable luxury. A winner for sure. Now to have a 240v line brought into the garage to charge it in 2-1/2 hours! It has now been two years since I received this great SUV and I am happier than ever. ZERO cost of maintenance so far, no problems at all. One of the best tech features is the ACC, which I use all the time and at all speeds. I like this so much I've taken a 7 year extended warrantee because I'm going to keep it - and I'd bet that I'll never need it.
