2025 Toyota RAV4 Consumer Reviews

RAV4 Just ok
My recent purchase of a 2025 Toyota RAV4 LE, trading in my reliable 2016 Camry, has unfortunately left me with significant buyer's remorse. While I appreciate the smoother ride and higher seating position of the RAV4, those are the only positives I can consistently identify. I wasn't looking for a car with "bells and whistles," but I did expect basic modern conveniences. Perhaps my biggest frustration stems from the absence of automatic headlights on the LE trim. My 2016 Camry had this feature, and it's truly baffling that a brand-new 2025 model, even a base trim, lacks such a fundamental safety and convenience option. While I understand the XLE trim offers this, it feels like a default inclusion for all new cars in this day and age. Another major point of contention is the auto start/stop feature. I find its constant engagement and disengagement jarring and unwelcome during my daily drives. While I've since learned this can be disabled, it's an immediate annoyance I shouldn't have to contend with in a new vehicle. Ultimately, my heart remains with the Camry. I truly wanted a new one, but Toyota's decision to offer them only as hybrid models pushed me towards the RAV4. In hindsight, that decision has proven to be a significant disappointment. This RAV4 LE simply doesn't deliver the intuitive comfort and expected features that I'd grown accustomed to and valued in my Camry. I will be paying it off and getting rid of this mediocre model as soon as possible.

Not comfortable inside,lack of inside features
I have Leased several Toyota vehicles over the years, even a RAV4 years ago. They were more roomy. Totally disappointed in this vehicle. Leased RAV4 LE in June 2024. Driver seat doesn't go back far enough so your legs feel cramped in. The passenger seat goes back farther than drivers. Getting in and out of vehicle. If you are a relatively shorter person no problem. The average person in height and weight has issues. You have to bend your head and duck to get in or you will hit your head. Getting hit in the head sure doesn't feel good. The hand grips too far back. Not enough cup holders and the ones in this vehicle are too small. Could have 4 in front if design was better. The side door pocketholder compartments only hold cans. Can't put pop bottles or coffee cups even to go cups cannot fit. Ugh. Cannot adjust A/C vents properly. Poorly designed. Vehicle jumps/jerks ahead when idle. My Tacoma was perfect but too expensive to buy or lease. Hope somebody listens to these reviews and takes action. Toyota won't take it back or work with you about any of this. I'll never get another RAV4. Considering looking next time at other makes/models of vehicles.
