2024 Toyota RAV4 Consumer Reviews

2024 rav 4
Terribly noisy, awful sound system and there’s little to no insulation. Can’t store my sunglasses in the holder below my rear view mirror because when I put them on they’re so hot they burn my ears. This was my first time buying a new car and I absolutely regret this car. My advice is to get anything but this car.

Brand New and Issues from the first 3 hrs.
Horrible Vehicle. I dont know where to start Toyota does nothing to help. I had issues since the day of pick up. I am 5 months stuck in a lease and No one cares. Android auto has so many issues. Toyota acknowledged that it is messed up, and Needs a software update. But the software isnt created yet. So what is being done about the inconvenience of Android auto not working properly on this new 2024 Rav 4 LE? Absolutely Nothing. The acceleration isnt great. Its unsafe actually. The engine is loud. I feel its getting louder and louder. The heated seats dont get "hot". I have been up to the service dept numerous times, and of course "No Codes" come up. There are many issues, I am losing 5 years of my life being stuck in this lease with a vehicle I Hate! I am not happy with the vehicle... I am not happy with any of the service. I was promised a cargo cover and Im still to recieve it. This was my First NEW car experience ever, and its been a nightmare. It is also uncomfortable, the back doors dont open all the way, so forget having anyone in the backseat with a disability . The reasoning i got was "thats the new safty style" Im not quite sure what makes this vehicle safe. I disable everything i am allowed everytime i start the vehicle. All this computer technology is Not flawless. I understand that robots built it, but there is always a Lemon in Everything. I apparently got it. I do not recommend it. Its garbage.

a solid, well-rounded SUV
I always looked past RAV’s just given how common they are, but recently fell in love with the Adventure trim while looking at a Forester. I will say, I’m not completely wowed at the tech & infotainment system but as I get older i realize my priorities have changed. the buying experience, overall quality / safety features, and ease of use won me over for sure. Rugged yet comfortable, reliable, and capable.
Tried to like it… but
I really tried to love it. On paper, it had everything I wanted: top of the line with every (gas version) option. It is a great size for everyday hauling and the quality is second-to-none. Generally speaking.. the ergonomics made sense and it was pretty comfortable overall. But at the end of the day, I practically hated driving it. It was loud.. didnt accelerate or handle particularly well. At best it was ok on highways. At worst: around town the engine drowned out the sound system. Life is too short to drive a boring car. Do better… buy better! I traded it after a year for a turbo Mazda that is a hoot to drive and provides 90% of the utility. To Toyota’s credit.. I got almost what I paid in trade.

would own
Rented for a 2k+mile family trip. I have not been interested in ANY car past Model year 2004. I am pleased and surprised in this vehicle. The 8-speed auto is perfectly geared for the 4-cyl, good on fuel, great on space for a loaded trip for 2-4 people. Sound system is good sans the factory speakers. The really easy to find on/off switch for the start/stop function is great for keeping me from losing my mind driving it. Wish it had paddle shifter pads on the steering wheel instead of just bumping the shifter. 225/65/17 tires lends to a softish ride, I can't imagine the 18/19" wheels would make the ride better, but I'm sure the handling and steering response would improve, really needs better anti- roll bars. Interior wind noise is enough to keep looking around driving at highway speeds if a window is open. I am impressed, just not on the sticker price or factory fill weight of oil. Lots of torque converter shudder but that's easily fixed with good trans fluid/additive. I wouldn't bother with a turbo if I owned it, just make it breathe right and make sure it stays relatively quiet on the exhaust side and It would be perfect for my needs. If I wanted a power trip my Subaru/Honda/and/or Duramax would fit the bill. My yaris has spoiled me with cupholders, which this vehicle does not have enough of. Eco mode is great as it is not constantly shifting to lower gears at small throttle angles trying to stay around its torque peak as it is a 4-cylinder and it's powerband is going to offer one only so much. Not too bad of a gripe; but it does have looks only a mother can love, and for some being low-key and dismissed is much more desirable than having many staring at you plotting.
