I have had my new '23 rav4 for 5+ weeks now. Overall, it's acceptable. My biggest complaint is the level of road noise I hear while driving. I had read other reviews from owners about this exact issue. I should have taken it seriously. Would I purchase this rav4 again after experiencing the noise for myself....?.... probably not. Kinda sad, considering it's a beautiful car, but I expected much better for a "new" vehicle. pretty vs function ? I'm already considering what and when I will get my next vehicle because of this issue. Toyota.... listen
Not the vehicle for me

Test drove on smooth Hwy only which was a mistake. On typical roads horrendous cabin noise, rattles in headliner where there feels like no insulation. Headrests rattle probably because of the 19” tires on that litl puppy. I’m not exaggerating to say it was difficult to have a conversation or hear music unless you were riding on a newly paved road. It could easily be pushed in on the sides making it seem like a “tin can”…sharp looking budget friendly (gas mileage) small crossover but noisy cabin, rough ride and seemed to be sub standard materials used EXCEPT for the Michelin 19” tires. Wasn’t the vehicle for me.
Noisy

- The noise in the cabin is mind-numbing. It's so loud you can't hear the turn signals sound. - The car play sucks. It does not connect to the USB. Always error. Turns off unexpectedly. Black screen. Randomly activates the microphone function. Crazy. - Door panels at night only illuminate the button on the pilot window. So, if you have to change the side mirrors or open the locks at night, you will do it by touching or turning on the interior light. There is no way you can see the buttons. - The USB port is placed in a spot you can only see during the day. If you want to plug something in, you can only use the cell phone light because not even the interior lighting reaches this part of the dashboard. - The fuel meter on the dashboard is semicircular and located on the upper right side. The steering wheel obstructs the indicator, so I have to look for it and remember to check the gas because there is no quick view of something important. There is something called a man-machine interface, and it seems that whoever designed this model doesn't know about it. It's a total disappointment. I made a 3-year lease with high quotas, intending to buy it. I'm counting the days until the lease expires and I change the car. It's a nightmare.

Suddenly, after owning a 2023 RAV 4 XLE for four months, it has died three times in a week in the garage. The dealership told us that we don’t run the car far enough and long enough and that we have to drive it longer and more often to keep the battery charged. We were told that there is nothing they can do for us unless we change our driving habits. We have been Toyota owners for decades and have never heard such ridiculous excuses for an undependable car. We would like to hear if others are having the same issue. We will never buy or lease another Toyota!
