My neighbor has a 24' with hybrid, jumped over from Subaru. She loves the Rav. I will be looking at this vehicle when I replace my high mileage outback. Great video thanks!
i have a forester. subaru and toyota are one family eventually. you see recently honda and nissan tied the knot. i drove a full week of 2024 rav4 SE as a rental car. very impressive.
Great video as always. You’re part of the reason I got a RAV4. My 2.5 will do nearly 40 mpg on the highway with “responsible” speeds. Save some money over the hybrid. Thanks for the good reviews. 👍🏼
@@Irishmanbikesyes i do. I have seen it on some Toyota siennas and I have seen the Toyota techs replacing them plus the ceiling at Toyota dealership. Is a hell of a job.
Glad I watched this! Ive owned my 2020 UK model for two years and didn't even realise the speedo could be changed from the digital to analogue display.🤣 Now running analogue because I'm getting long sighted with age.👍
You’re the first TH-camr to actually review a 2025 and it’s a 2025 that I’ve seen. Everyone else is showing the 2024 and saying it’s a 2025. I know the changes are minimal…but honesty is a serious aspect of trusting TH-camr car reviews. lol. Personally the woodland in army green is my favorite. But I’d go for the XSE (again) with the J vin in cavalry or windchill. Thank you for being honest Jeff
Very well done review, PLENTY of FACTS, no computer stupidity, I’m in just SUBSCRIBED!!! The other vehicle I’m waiting for is the 2025 Subaru Brat ARE you strictly TOYOTA?
Came here 11min after it was posted. Thanks for yet another awesome video..you sre the best. Seems like my 2024 XSE hybrid is 2years ahead. I'm curious to see what the 2025 xse has to offer.
I got it brand new October 2023 now odometer is 9.300klm. Well, I haven't regretted but I would like::: much better noise isolation, better painting bc it's very "sensitive ", better trunk area lighting and some secondaries....
You know what would be 2 nice touches? 1. Way way better sound reduction and the biggest thing- a less than a one year + to get one wait on an order! I rest my case. Go Ni, go figure!
What’s up with that rear cargo mad? I’ve seen tons of new Toyotas with the splotchy coloring like there’s contamination in the rugged. Looks filthy even if it’s clean.
@@durodesduvo8424at least infotainment setup. This one is from 2012… I’d rather wait though and get one that isn’t laggy and glitchy. The interior needs better upgradable options but should keep it simple in basic models to keep price low
Looking at the 2025 RAV 4 Prime plug-into replace my (STILL RUNNING) 2005 Toyota Sienna LE van. Like the 42 miles on just electric power for daily travel, but after 52 miles, the ability to automatically switch over to gas engine when the EV battery is exhausted. I also make periodic 2000 mile long trips, which would be a problem for full EV’s depending on local charging station availability. I can charge mine at my townhouse. I also Like the option of charging the EV portion of the engine while driving the gas engine (however, that SERIOUSLY cuts into your gas mileage). It does give you the option of having a full charge on your EV battery when you reach your long range destination (especially if the destination has high gas prices). The PAINFUL part, is the $52000 sales price. The current FULL $7500 EV Federal rebate takes the sting out of the price, but there is a high probability that the TRUMP administration will cut down or cut out the Federal rebate, so that will likely TANK demand, unfortunately So, if the EV rebates are cut down or out, I may have to consider a NEW Sienna Hybrid van. We’ll have to wait and see.
Did he say nice toyota interior? 😂 there is nothing nice about toyota interior, hard plastic. You want nice interior same price , see mazda line cx5, 50, 70 etc. same good quality too
Sorry you think the RAV4 is too shouty lol. Actually I appreciate you saying this. My upbeat personality isn’t for everyone. Thanks for giving me a try though!

This is a bulletproof vehicle, you won’t have any recall, the new one will experience some. This is the way to go.
Thanks Jeff! Amazing review with all the details we want to hear and see.

Thanks Jeff for giving me options for considering the RAV4 Hybrid SE. I like the fact it does not come with a power moonroof.
Me too! In the long run you won’t be concerned about leaks !
@@kpmmsupervision1297 Do you know for a fact or are you guessing that the power moonroof will leak?
@@Irishmanbikesyes i do. I have seen it on some Toyota siennas and I have seen the Toyota techs replacing them plus the ceiling at Toyota dealership. Is a hell of a job.
@@kpmmsupervision1297 ok thanks
@@Irishmanbikes I’ve had 5 various Toyotas with Moon Roofs, not one ever leaked

Glad I helped you with something!!
Glad to see that you can get one with no moon roof and motorized hatch.
Just picked up our 2024 RAV4, glad we didn’t wait for the 2025, there’s no difference!
There is a lot of upgrade though. And this way more classy !
Lol
Resale value for a 2025 model vs 2024 will be more for one
If you are buying in the year end you should always buy a next year model unless you get a good deal on the same year model.
Have got 2021 exactly the same interior and exterior

🎉are you sure xse from japan?
@ yes it comes from US, Canada, and Japan. Mine was from Canada. The Japanese built XSE is tighter, quieter, and more responsive.

The 2025 XSE is exactly like the 2024 XSE......... SURPRISE!! 😂😛
2024 and 2025 are the same.
Not sure how well that gloss black on the exterior will hold up
Great design love to have a new RAV4
Toyota should’ve kept a V6 option for the Rav, either in the top or sporty trims in this generation would’ve been really nice
Hopefully a new Rav & Corolla are coming soon, maybe even a Highlander!!
idk why but the way it says “HEV”instead of “HYBRID” on the back just looks way better, glad they switched to that in all of the 2025 hybrid cars
I watch Jeff for the songs!
I like it, just what I want. Hybrid is good for stop and go driving.
It spends way less overall too even if you go full speed
I got it brand new October 2023 now odometer is 9.300klm. Well, I haven't regretted but I would like::: much better noise isolation, better painting bc it's very "sensitive ", better trunk area lighting and some secondaries....
The one manufactured in Canada is different from US. SE in Canada has moon roof, heated seats, etc.
I am happy they didn’t change it from 2024. Not until i finish paying it please lol😂
Still can't tow more than 1,000 lbs with that CVT. Hybrids are cool but I prefer the 4 banger with the 8 speed. Less to break
spend the extra 3k for the XSE.. i just bought one last night .. but 6 month wait for it!!!!
There should be a Rav 4 racing league, they are so fast nd handle like a go kart!!

I've seen that too and thought it was the angle or something. I'm curious-
Does the RAV4 SE Hybrid have Safety Sense 3.0??
nope
@@Irishmanbikes it still is 2.5, but I read online Corolla cross with 3.0 have issues with 3.0 so I think I'll get the Rav 4
Did they fix high voltage cable for rear motor
I heard no. They did add a updated connector cover.
They did.
Ok that's good, thanks
I don't own a Rav 4, but can I ask if there is some issue that you're referencing?
Early corrosion on cable going to rear electric motor
Does this Toyota has a 4th or 5th generation Hybrid?
Still the 4th....... maybe next year.
@@henryhonda8408 Thanks.😃
Toyota World has purportedly the spy photos of the new RAV4.
Please make the piano black stop.
AMEN!
My dealer said the 2025 is not out yet
Dealer's wrong.
such liars
I currently have mine picked it up on nov 25.
How much did you pay for your new rav4?
@@cesarvalenzuela3665 it was a bit expensive for an XLE 44,000 with taxes and packages included.
Wait this have cvt transmission?
All rav4 2024-2025 hybrids have the ecvt. All 2025 camry are now hybrid
Is price going up?
What I heard it only went up 150USD on all the trims. Get it before the Trumps tariffs 😅
It’s all going to go up… will not be buying but a very nice SUV of course.
You mean price?
Going up in price?
$ going up
Next year will change 😢😢
what? The engine? The styling?
Maybe the refresh will be in the 2026 Rav4...... maybe not.

Yea nah imma wait for an ACTUAL redesign lol

Nothing new really.
Spend the extra money and Just get a lexus nx350 hybrid.

Good car, reliable and good consumption but it's 2025 and the infotainment and design is 1980. Come on Toyota, that looks ugly.
Dude be more serious get more views
Every granny and pop-pop in the Senior Center drives a RAV-4.😂
