My wife and I purchased our new 2022 RAV 4 Prime model SE on March 7 th this year. We put nearly 2200 miles on it so far and only put in 14 gallons of gas. This is my wife's car and her commute is anywhere from 32-36 miles round trip. She drives her commute on 100 % electric and when she returns home she normally has anywhere from 2-10 miles of electric range left, depending on weather conditions and if she makes any small trips out of her normal commute. We have a level 2 charger in which it takes on 4.5 hours to fully charge from an empty battery. Now when running just on the gas motor once the battery is depleted MPG is anywhere from 38 MPG to 40+ mpg. The other day I drove 130 mile roundtrip down the coast of Oregon from via Highway 101 from the Astoria / Seaside Oregon area. I used 49 miles of electric range and when the gas motor kicked in when the battery was depleted I quickly reset the gauge to display MPG. When I returned home the dash MPG displayed 49.5 MPG. for those 80 miles or so. Speeds where 25-55 MPH as Hwy 101 goes through several small towns. Weather was fair with temps in the mid 50's or so. There is no SUV Plugin All Wheel Drive vehicle that weighs close to 4,500 lbs that is this efficient.

My retired lifestyle and driving style makes the RAV4 Prime the perfect vehicle for me. I often get 55-60 miles on a full charge. My daily driving around town puts me at 90-95% all electric. Hitting the open road in regular HV mode returns 38-40 mpg and no range anxiety! A full charge and full tank of gas can get me nearly a 600 mile range.

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.

The Rav4 Prime is an excellent SUV! Not only is it a beautiful Vehicle it preforms just as well! They are extremely hard to find, they’re production numbers are very low and most of them are sold in the state of California. Between the battery shortage along with the chip shortage and low production it make it hard for the average consumer to buy one. The Rav4 Prime is smooth, powerful and very good on, reliability, MPG, comfort, passenger safety, sound system, and range just to mention a few things I really like about the rav! 42 miles all electric is awesome and if you don’t have a lead foot you can stretch this out to around 50 mpg depending on city or highway driving. I bought my Rav in October 2022 and have only filled my take one time! Can you believe that! I do however cycle the gas engine from time to time and use a fuel additive to preserve the fuel. Charge time with level two is four hours, level one is 12 hours if you use the Included Toyota 110 volt charger. I definitely recommend buying a level Two charger. You can find them on Amazon for less than $200.00 I really do not see any negative things with this vehicle, but if you want to find something negative and look hard enough I am sure some people will. I highly recommend the Mid sized SUV if you can find one buy! You will not be disappointed 😊🇺🇸👍🏻

I wanted to love this vehicle, and overall, it's quite the SUV. Size, handling, range, comfort, quality are all top-notch. But the heating system is inadequate and the electronics are way behind the competition. Our 2018 Mitsubishi phev is superior electronically; maybe because we have the SE model?
