A new 2021 RAV4 XLE (gas) is sitting in my garage. It seem nice. Doors could shut easier. There is a tendancy for them to reman open a crack if you don't push hard to shut. The gas mileage is short of the published numbers, and the tank is small (14.5 gallons, which is the redesigned tank for the hybrid version). There is a full size 12v battery, so therre should be enough juice to power the various options and accessoriers without going dead overnight. The car hopefully has the service fix for that issue experienced with the 2020s. It's a lot of car for the money. Buyers should do their research to know what to expect.

I have always owned and favored Toyota’s and Honda’s. Recently my family has had many issues with their newer model Honda’s and now Toyota seems to be lacking as well. At 3,423 miles my transmission went out in my new 2021 Rav 4. While stranded in dangerous Atlanta traffic I realized that I can no longer trust Toyota. They don’t make them like they used too! Being a mechanic for 25 plus years I would recommend staying with Japanese car manufacturers for daily drivers, but not Toyota or Honda. Do yourself a favor and buy a Mazda or Subaru. After my warranty covered the cost to replace my transmission I traded the Rav 4 in for a Subaru Crosstrek sport and I love it. It will live much longer and has great AWD capabilities. My brother has also had 10 plus years of hassle free satisfaction out of his Mazda’s. Maybe I will try Toyota again in the late future.

I have had this RAV4 for a year now. It is the best vehicle I have ever owned. This RAV4 replaced a 2010 CRV EXL that I had for over 10 years. It was a great, reliable vehicle, but this RAV4 way out performs the CRV. But then this is newer technology also. The RAV4 has more power, smoother ride with the 2.5L 4 cyl with the 8 speed auto trans (a great combination). I get great gas mileage, between 33 and 34 mpg on the highway, and between 28 to 29 around town. I love the AWD and the 19" wheels. Being this is my first new vehicle in over 10 years, I love all the new technology and safety features that my old vehicle did not have. You can get a laundry list of all the great features it has on the Toyota site, so no need to list them all here. I realize that many new vehicles have similar new technology and safety features, but I really like the styling of the RAV4 and Toyota's reputation of quality and reliability. So far, I can't find anything wrong with this vehicle. Being in the Detroit area, I am criticized for not buying one the 'Big 3' vehicles, but I don't work for them, and their quality and reliability can't compare to Toyota as far as I am concerned. I will put far less money into maintenance with the Toyota and it will last far longer. You cannot go wrong with this vehicle.

Great suv love every aspect, mine is a 2021 i don't have battery or gas tank issues. One thing about buying new cars stay away the first 2 years or production take goes on any car. Only wish they had 4x4 instead of AWD.
