It rides so smooth, smells good too What I don’t like being afraid someone or myself will dent it or crash it

For a vehicle with a boat load of batteries for sprung mass, it rides like it has cardboard suspension. You feel every bump through your spine, with its stiff, crashy damping, every dip, hump and kink unsettles you in the seat making for a terrible vehicle to have the displeasure of being a passenger. The steering seems to jerk across the road instead of initiating a turn smoothly, coupled with the ride, you quickly wonder if your breakfast will stay put or not. I have a well driven 2000s BMW that far and away exceeds the ride quality of this thing.

The best vehicle for my needs and wants!

The RAV4 Prime melds great gas mileage and decent battery-only travel (42 miles) with serious speed and low-end torque, but also adds a sports car suspension and steering. This thing is just plain fun to drive. And you travel with all the bumps in the road smoothed out and outside noise eliminated by the soundproofing. The sound system is good. I've had better, but it is much better than many vehicles. The XSE version has a much better sound system and leather seats for about another $3k. A full tank and charged battery gives you 600 miles of travel. The menus are super functional and logically laid out. Never had to look anything up in the manual or Google. But the real joy is driving it like a sports car. You will pick up races on the streets or highway if so inclined. Seats and wheel are comfy and heated. Pretty much everything I could ask for, except for a 1/8" plug for my expensive audio player, is included. I'm on my second one and still loving it!

Top Notch Toyota

I bought this car in March of 2023. It’s now May of 2024. I’ve only filled it up twice to this point. I plug it in to regular outlet in my garage and next morning I have between 40 and 50 new electric miles. And when I do fill with gas I have around 500 plus total miles to go. Love it and all the extras that come with it.

Miss my CR-V Touring Hybrid

Prefer the CR-V over Rav Prime even though the Toyota has and insane 0-100 time.
