I completed considerable research prior to my purchase. I test drove the competitors. The Rav4 has the most horsepower (eliminating troublesome turbo options of other makes), best gas mileage, best clearance, most cargo space and the most reliable engines. The ride is smooth and quiet, acceleration is eager and responsive , great visibility, nice large touch screen and plenty of head and elbow room. I have not experienced any steering or road noise issues mentioned in other reviews. I do agree the lumbar support could be improved (but I could say the same for the competition). It's also the best looking SUV out there, IMHO. There is definitely a reason this SUV is the top seller in it's category, even though it's not the cheapest. I bought my Rav4 in April 2021 and I am super happy with my decision.

Road Noise a show stopper

I have just purchased a 2021 Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid and am impressed by the fit and finish.. But that's the end of it... The road noise is way beyond acceptable.I wear hearing aids and have to remove them when driving just to make the noise more bearable.. I recently owned a Ford Edge and it was completely sound proof and a pleasure to drive... This vehicle is going up for sale after just 300 kms of driving... I can't live with this noise any longer... Toyota should know better and should spend some dollars on sound proofing this vehicle ...

I'm 62 years old and this was to be my retirement vehicle. I used to be a toyota loyalist. Although I have been driving a buick for 10 years. Had a 2003 Rav4. Drove it for 8 years until totaled in accident. I guess I'm too old now. Decided to be economical and buy the New Rav4. Wrong. Way too much noise. Road and wind noise. Engine noise is awful. Steering bad. Never had issues with cloth seats before. This model is terrible. Soils so easily. Just touch it with anything. Then when I try to clean it. It makes water rings. The seats are hard and thin and uncomfortable. My husband complained about lighting. He's correct. Awful. Very little wimpy interior lights. WHY ? And back to seats. No height adjustment for passenger seat! Really they couldn't put the little hand crank to raise or lower. The sun visors are too small and without raising the seat everytime you are blinded. Everything is hard plastic touches. No comfort. To use the buttons on lower left you have to twist and lower your head. Not good. Back doors do not open far enough. Other small suvs open all the way out. The touch screen is horrible to look at. Faded and harsh. Looks like terrible TV picture. The radio speakers not good. Cheap sounding. Not clear. Toyota has the levels and packages crazy on this. To get the better features it is way pricey. You can go ahead and get a midsize suv. Which is exactly what I did. But couldn't get Toyota sadly. Way too pricey. Sadly had to get another foreign maker. Midsize with luxury features. But all the sharp sporty looks. The new 2021 Kia Sorento. LOVE! The Rav4 is sharp looking but it ends there. Just my opinion. I really hate it. I wanted to love it! Transmission jerks all the time. Stop start jerks....the cluster gauge is tiny. Hard to read so much on there! Try other comparable vehicles. Lost money because we had to get rid of it
Below average AWD

Vehicle is too lite for snow covered roads. Looks nice but too many low price parts result in noisy ride and low quality feel. The added safety features are nice but actual feel and ride are not impressive. I would rate the feel and ride at 1 star. Based on this over priced vehicle I would not recommend it over other market AWD.

Rented a RAV4 XLE AWD while visiting my sister. Found the vehicle to be comfortable, with excellent seating position, much better than my current car. Excellent visibility and lane changing alert worked well. Engine somewhat underpowered from stop, but gets up to speed quickly. I own a Subaru Outback, and the RAV4 definitely has a more truck like feel. Not that it’s bad, just different. A bit of road noise at highway speed and a whine at acceleration which should have been engineered better. “A” pillar does lean back a bit low, so definitely a consideration if you are taller to get in and out of vehicle. Interior door handle is close to hinge, as others noted, but didnt really have any difficulty with its use. Radio intuitive, actually simple. Loved “Car Play” which displayed my phone’s GPS on screen. Overall a solid vehicle, with minimal complaint.
