Just got my XLE hybrid Tuesday and love it so far! Would love to see a geek break down on the specs of different driving modes, such as fuel consumption comparison, how the steering is affected as well. And detailed engine videos. That may be asking a lot though 😉 Your videos are great and I love the impromptu comments in your videos
Thank you Jeff! We just bought a RAV4 hybrid XLE, but there are none available at the dealer to look at. Your tour and demonstration are very helpful to us. You are more informative than the dealer sales team.
Hey Jeff! My wife and I after watching your vlogs in 2019 and early 2020, and we called to chat with you. We purchased fully loaded XSE Hybrid RAV4 Silver Sky Metallic 2020. Then9 months later a second one same model Blizzard Pearl 2021. Both technology packages, panoramic moon roof, black roofs, blackout emblems, 18” black wheels. Phenomenal vehicles as you know. Thanks for your detailed videos. Our salesman’s name is Elvis. Perfect fit and we built friendship and trust over the last 9 months at the time of both purchases. Be well Jeff!
I bought a used 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XLE last month but without any owner's manual. I'm still getting used to all the features because there are so many! I've found a few on my own but I'm very grateful for your video for the rest, and I'll save it for when the weather changes. I'm sure I'll need a review for the fancy wipers and AWD. Thanks!!
I loled when you were like “Get here quicker, we’re tired of the vehicle shortage! We’re tired of it!” Can totally relate right now with the 3-6 month wait for my RAV4 XLE Premium I ordered a few weeks back, lol
@@Toyotajeff Yup, really looking forward to it! My brother just ordered one back at the end of August and he got it just last weekend. Definitely will be worth the wait for sure, and hopefully within either a few weeks or another month, I will finally know my official delivery date.
Thanks for this guide! Purchased my first RAV4 hybrid XLE today. It’ll arrive at the dealership Thursday, so excited 😆 thank you for helping me decide which trim to get from your other videos!
Just bought one absolutely love it averaging 44 miles per gallon for money xle is best deal have heated seats sterring wheel sun roof plenty room in back great grocery getter
My only real complaint about these Toyota's are the fact that the Instrument clusters has no lights!! I find it Awkward at this price, still no availability to find stuff in the dark!!
Thank you so much for this! About to head out in a snow storm to work at a hospital and this was a game changer to feel comfortable with the controls in my new Rav4 hybrid.
great video! i've had this car for a couple months but wanted to see if there were features i didn't know about and you showed me there definitely are. also love the corny sense of humor
Toyota had a great lease deal on the '21 Hybrid XLE last year, $289/mo. That offer appears long gone, at least in NC. I had my window! I guess I'll wait til around Labor Day and see what happens. Excellent all-around vehicle.
Excellent video! I recently bought one (XLE hybrid) and it's on its way to the dealership. Mine will be Lunar Rock. I wanted a subwoofer but mine won't come with the audio + package but the dealership will give me a $1,000 voucher to have a local car audio shop to install one for me (Looking at one of those "spare tire" subwoofers). So in essence it will become audio + and then some. :)
I really like the RAV4 but I need something with a little better fuel economy so that's why I'm getting the corolla cross hybrid. My three cars will be: The 2022 tundra limited double cab 8.1ft bed, 2019 Toyota highlander, 2023 Toyota corolla cross hybrid.
I secured and am waiting on a dealership allocated Lunar Rock Hybrid XLE with a November 30th birthday 🥳 We believe (hope) she will be born in Kentucky and maybe I will be in possession in the first few weeks of December since I live in Southern Illinois neighboring Kentucky.
If you don't have the audio Plus package on your vehicle, Does your key fob have remote start capabilities? I have one on hold and can't get a straight answer whether or not it has remote start. I do not have the audio Plus package.
Absolutely awesome looking vehicle. As you know I have ordered the 2022 Toyota Rav 4 Adventure Hybrid. And shall get it in May 2022. Safari green. Black interior and orange stitching. And I am a sucker for the looks of the vehicle as opposed to millions of tech. Tnx for this video that is very in-depth. You are a legend. NZ
I have a 2021 RAV4 XSE hybrid with 1000 miles on it. I like the car but a $40,000 price tag should come with a standard power passenger seat. The seat sits way too high is and is uncomfortable. My car is also suffering from the fuel tank issue that was found in the 2019 to 2020 models. I can only fill my car up to two notches below the fill line. This only gives me 420 miles per tank which is a significant reduction to the 580 combined miles that Toyota claims I should get.
Jeff, i have a 2021 hybrid rav 4. At first half year it could run 17-20 kilometres/litre but on the second half year it dropped to about 15 k/L. I dont drive it very often. What do you think i should look at it first before i contact the dealership?

Hi Jeff, love your videos and the channel! Do you know if the rav will ever have a tire pressure display on the mid ? It’s my biggest gripe with the rav, coming from the Tacoma. Thanks!
QUESTION: My moonroof will not open in either direction. Is there a lock somewhere that I don't know about? I push the open button and I can hear it trying to open but it does not. (2021 Rav4 Limited)
I have a 2021 RAV4 hybrid. From my experience if I stay below 70 the electric motor will a lot of times be enough to power the vehicle. I drive on the highway a lot through Denver and going about 60-70 it does good using the electric motor only. But I took it on a road trip that I was going about 75 most of the time. Gas engine would stay on most of the time unless I was going down a hill. So I guess it would depend on how fast you go on the highway.
Yes But the new Honda CR-V 22 has better memory sit including 4 side lumber support. This car has only 2 side lumber support! If anyone buy car go for CR-V 22 it has true AWD where RAV4 basically offer 2 wheel drive, it's 4 wheel just works in certain condition. Not a real time AWD like CR-V 22!!!
@@Joyhindubangla Quit spreading misinformation. The RAV4 is a true all wheel drive and gets better mpg. The CRV is a POS. The CRV hybrid gets poor highway mpg.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q are you sure make sure you do some research about 2021 RAV4 AWD system! That is basically front wheel drive, back 2 wheel works in certain condition.
I got the XLE hybrid with a 12k down payment Came out with $720 per month for 36 months with 1.9% apr It came with all grade weather and convenience package And I didn’t want the premium trim even though I could It’s only cause I HATE the smell of the soft tex leather I sacrificed the JBL system cause of that.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the states....I know some stuff about that segment but will have to wait to discuss for around a couple months :)
Thanks for watching everyone! What do you think of RAV4 and/or RAV4 Hybrid?
The color looks very pretty on this video. I don't know why that color doesn't usually look this nice to me.

Love the hybrid, still waiting for my Limited. In British Columbia it’s a 6 mo wait. Zero vehicles on lots.
I love my RAV4 Hybrid!
I am noticing a light break noise just hitting my mileage at 3k!!! Anyone else!!??

Jeff, With today's gas prices, a Kentucky-Fried RAV4 Hybrid has never been more appealing.
Very good point haha

I"ll be getting mine next week....Xle like yours in midnight black!! Get an oil change every 3k !!

@@bigfootswatching9986 same. Drives me nuts. They fixed it for the 2022 model
Just got this exact model & year. At 21k miles. I'm so excited for this video and appreciate this Jeff.
Picked up an xle hybrid last week. Thanks for all the info. Should be easier to navigate the system now
Thank you so much for this! About to head out in a snow storm to work at a hospital and this was a game changer to feel comfortable with the controls in my new Rav4 hybrid.
Thanks Jeff, you sold me. I just ordered the RAV4 XLE Hybrid, but did upgrade to the Premium trim-retired and thought I could splurge a little!
That’s fantastic!!
I am noticing a light break noise just hitting my mileage at 3k!!! Anyone else!!??
I hope you're loving it!
Just bought this vehicle and this is so helpful. Thanks, Jeff!!

Hi Jeff,
Do you know if the heated steering wheel is made with animal leather or Softex? Thanks!
Very funny, as well as very informative.
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful

non hybrid. I want one of those owner manual book cover? How may I get one!! Thx
Is xle hybrid has heated mirrors without convenience package? If anyone knows please let me know 🙏
Are you guys charging over MSRP for new vehicles?

Never get wireless chargers in cars.
