I'm an absolute fan of Toyota. And I just love the fact that they are the leader of hybrid cars BUT they don't have any Hybrid Sport car, they stick with good recipes like we love. Toyota knows that Hybrids are good, but they don't want this in
their sport cars because it's killing the passion of a sport car. I just admire this brand
Umm, I just assumed that the whole idea of driving a hybrid was to be Eco friendly and maximize fuel economy. Just by nature of a car being considered to be a "sports" car normally means its more performance based and just the opposite of what a hybrid was designed to do.
I baught my parents a Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid for Christmas 🎉 They love it!
Excellent review. I have placed an order and this is really helpful. Thank you
Thanks! Glad to help!
toyota always has the best exterior designs but they are always 4 years behind when it comes to interior design
“Toyota always has the best exterior designs” this is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time 💀
They never have anything that looks good for years. The best IMO is the TRD line up. But the technology, features and style are crap. Finally they have been improving but the competition is way ahead.
Lol Toyota are always the most lame you mean haha right …..
At least ten years behind...
@@KA-zh2rq this rav4 model looks better than all its competitors
Thanks for another great review and the return of the acceleration smile meter!👍
We brought it back for you guys!
Thank you for your attention to your viewers requests! I really enjoy that smile meter!😁
Toyotas get no respect in car mags and on youtube 'car dudes' channels. Called appliances, dull, boring slow etc. #1 selling crossover is all Toyota cares about👍 Only CVT I'd trust other than Honda if someone put a gun to my head and forced me to get a CVT ride.
Toyota uses an "eCVT" which shares very little with a traditional CVT engine like you'd likely find in many Honda engines.
@@MrBigBoy4Life will they hit 300k if properly cared for?
@@busywl69 No doubt!
Toyota always does nice with refreshes, and this video was awesome!😸
One of best reviews! Waiting for my new 23 hybrid!
Thanks!
@@CarConfections Hope you will do the 2023 reviews when they will be available
Needs a big interior redesign
Good review as always .
I like the 2022 Toyota RV4 hybrid it’s very nice, I know a lot of people that have one
I like it and want one, but I'll wait until the refresh for the next gen infotainment system.
Thanks for this awesome review. My mom will most likely get a 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. When the lease comes up on her 2020 Subaru Outback this September. Since she wants to buy this time. She wants to go back to a Toyota. Because before her 2020 Subaru Outback. She had a 2011 Toyota Venza.
Is it possible to replace their antiquated navigation screen?
Another great video....
Thank you!
I love two-tone Rav4 hybrid XSE or Prime but will never buy one with that old style tablet stuck on the dash. Will wait 'til the new NX350h infotainment screen or similar on Rav4 hybrid. Hopefully by 2024 when Toyota do their major refresh. Oh, I have a short and tall family members so the power passenger seat is a must too.
Nice new opening. The RAV4 looks great. Hoping you all can do a 22 Hybrid Highlander next!
Nice review 😍😍😘👍🏻
Thanks!
For 2024, can you get both the kick open rear door AND the tow hitch?
I always have to say one thing in this review: I consider as an Toyota fan of their products especially this one, Because they are more reliable than the other vehicles. Also I totally love the paint job on this SUV. Also this is will be my top pick over it's competition, Because it had great gas mileage & fun to drive around with. Also I will able to afford this vehicle after I done the driver's test soon, So I can show it to my friends & family as well. Overall, fantastic job & review bro.
hi. great vid. Is it possible to easily switch out the current navigation system to an upgraded one aftermarket?
Thanks! I wouldn't think so... But you can use Google Maps via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay
I really want to trade in my Camry for a RAV4 XLE premium but I came across a Honda Passport the other day and I love the way it looks; boxy and short and the graphics are much brighter and better looking than Toyota. The only thing stopping me is the mpg. My Camry (not hybrid) gets about 26 mpg and the Passport says it’s 20 city and 25 hwy. Ouch. I guess the RAV is runner up because mileage is great but there’s none in my city! I wonder how long this shortage is going to last. Great review, btw!
Excellent review. RAV 4 looks 👍
Thanks!
amazing video
Thanks, Henry!
Not sure if this is true, I heard they got rid of the gas caps on cars / suvs/trucks. Is it true ?
The Limited model you're driving does not have a nickel hydride battery pack, as you erroneously stated. Only the LE and XLE use nickel hydride. XLE Premium, XSE, and your Limited test model use the lithium-ion battery pack.
Otherwise, an excellent review. Nicely comprehensive.
Can you share what's the difference of those batteries and does it matter much?
@@j0hnX44 the lithion is better
@@HungNguyen-cl2mu not necessarily
@@HungNguyen-cl2mu li-on sucks in cold and hot weather. If you live in an area with 4 seasons a li-on battery performs well for maybe 5 months a year.
Great in depth review. Interesting that different regions seem to get different features for same spec model. Surely it would be more cost effective for Toyota to build same features in each spec and only change Left hand and right hand drive?
In Australia, we have the “Cruiser” Hybrid model which seems to be the equivalent of the Limited spec in the US but theres only a moonroof and not panoramic and no option to put panoramic. Theres no heated or adjustable rear seats and all are USB A and not the C type and 9 speaker JBL. It feels like in Australia, we get far more aged features than US equivalent but then again I’m not sure if the demo I test drove was a MY21 or MY22 model so maybe it was MY21 build and I didn’t see some of the updates to MY22. Moon roof is only option whether its 21 or 22 build.
I have just put deposit on Cruiser Hybrid 2WD and with a 12 month wait, more than likely I will get a MY23 spec if Toyota decides to give the RAV4 some minor updates later in the year which some people have alluded to( hopefully centre infotainment console gets a refresh). I’ m in no hurry for it so I guess it will be a surprise as to what features it comes with that didn’t know about once I take ownership next year.
I'm picking up my 2022 model Hybrid Cruiser in about 15 minutes. Originally ordered the 2021 model 10 months ago (when the wait was supposedly about six months!). The face-lift changes for the 2022 model were an additional $1,664 but Toyota did throw in 12 months comprehensive insurance to partially offset these costs. I was also keen to get the 2022 face-lift features, in particular the three stage heated an VENTED front seats, electric passenger seat and updated internal and external lighting (as well as some other things). Would have preferred the 2021 black wheels though, but nothing to die on a stick about.
@@MrPhantom453 I just saw your response. Did you get 2WD or 4WD? I thought that the wheels on the 2022 are the gloss black. Did you get a different finish of wheel on your 2022 build
?
@@vrs76r 2WD. The wheels are still a glass black, just a different design to the 2021 model. Like a duel spoke on each radial out to the rim. Harder to clean I'm sure. I've got use to them already and there's not really much in it, but if given a choice I'd have gone with the 2021 wheel type.
@@MrPhantom453 I didn't realise that wheel design changed from 2021 to 2022 model. All the overseas limited ( our cruiser model) models are showing what looks like charcoal grey colour rims that are on the gxl here in Oz which I prefer over the gloss black ones as I think they look better with silver sky colour car.
Did your 2wd have the rotary dial to select drive type or is it a coin tray where the dial should be? I test drove a 2021 2wd and can't remember if it had the dial or just buttons
@@vrs76r Just has buttons and the smail coin tray.
Needs a full redesign but the headlights refresh is nice!
Looks pretty modern, I don’t want Toyota to lose its conservative philosophy when it comes to making cars.
Thats your opinion. It´s beatifull car for me. My RAV 4 is parking in front my house.
It doesn’t need a redesign..
@@jxmar_ it’s my opinion
Toyota does 5-7 year life cycle
New gen will be coming
My Limited just came in. Can’t wait to pick it up It’s a Ruby too! But black interior. The nutmeg has too much colours going on in the interior. Tan, black, grey, don’t understand. They should have gone with just the tan and black accents. Then made posts and roof tan.
Looks like a 2019 to 21 rav4 to me. What refresh you talking about?
Like It👌🏼
Nice intro!
I thought the fog lights were comming vertical now
Does it have remote start? Didn’t see it on the key fob
You can use the Toyota app or a sequence of buttons on the fob during the Remote Connect trial period
is it more quiet than the previous model? thanks
no
I’m in love with the new wheel design 🥰
I have a 2019 Rav4 nothing stands out to me as different besides the headlights & wheels, and the passenger seat. I wouldn’t think a lot of people would upgrade who already have one.
I already swapped every halogen bulb inside and out for led. (Fog lights, front and rear turn signals, reverse lights, mirror turn signals, and all interior lights.)
That road noise is an issue. I have the 2019 rav 4 and that's my biggest problem with it.
Pretty standard for the class. If you want quiet, step up to the luxury segment
@@naughtysauce4323 it’s pretty well known that the RAV4 is one of, if not the noisiest in class. Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Kia do better
@@KA-zh2rq And yet it will outsell them all easily 🤷♂️
@@naughtysauce4323 sales don’t mean everything, hasn’t for a while (Nissan and ford proved this a couple years ago). Also, Toyota sells a lot to fleets whilst Honda doesn’t, Hyundai/Kia has decreased their fleet sales to less than 3% (they had none last month and are aiming to keep it that way) and Mazda is really small yet the cx5 is a much better product. Toyota just has more production capacity to make a worse product, the others are maxed out since before the chip shortage, and it’s not like their lots are full rn anyway💀
@@KA-zh2rq I would rather ride a Rav4 with tires made from rocks than step foot in a Korean made POS.
The issue with the Rav 4 Prime is that it costs what a Lexus costs especially at that trim.
Why I don’t have many features with the same RAV4?

Hi Car Confections Can You Make the 2022 Ford Escape Plug In Hybrid
Latest on TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID (5th Generation) AWD
Just spoke to my brother who lives in Europe and is an automotive enthusiast, he said a Memo was just released regarding serious issue in RAV4 HYBRID... AWD only...
So it turns out that the cable running to the motor that powers rear axle is corroding and needs replacing, it's a roughly $3,000 repair.
Models effected 2019 - 2022 build in CANADA. Memo also mentions USA but I didn't know they made RAV4 in USA.
Mine is a 21 made in Japan. Mine is safe 🥹
@@sammyjammy6647
It doesn't matter where it was made, defect is not a assembly related defect, it's a defective part and regardless of where the vehicle is build it uses same part.
Here is APA report:
"The APA has received a number of troubling complaints on 2019-2020 RAV4 Hybrid SUVs. Owners of these relatively new vehicles have reported hefty repair bills in the range of $4,200-$6,500 to replace the cable that sends the power to the electrically-driven rear wheels."
So I wouldn't be concerned about where your vehicle was build as much as what year it is. 2019 & 2020 is a reason for concern regardless of where it was build. If you install defective part in Japan, it is still a defective part.
@@googlreviews7813 didn’t you mention that the models affected were made in Canada and USA in your first post? Then I say mine is built in Japan and then you backtrack and say it doesn’t matter where it was built. And then your first post says 2019-2022 and your latest post 2019-2020. I think you’re confused. Go to bed
@@sammyjammy6647
Remember that APA is North American based so their report will be focusing on their reports and clients that report to them, my first post was reference to European reports. Hybrid RAV4 was sold earlier and in much greater numbers in Europe so their reports will be earlier and on larger scale. Without too much details I can tell you I work in the industry, and yest there is a significant issue. Toyota has serious issues with electric aspect of their vehicles, that's why they didn't recall BZ4X but instead buying them all back. Instead of getting mad, call your dealer,make them aware that you are aware of the issue and you would like to have it checked, you're welcome.
do the back seats recline?
Yes
Do Rav4 comes plug in hybrid?
Yes, it's called the Prime
@@CarConfections Thanks, l was thinking that’s full electric...
@@LANDIIIIIOFIIIIIFIRE no it's not. But the electric Toyota bZ4X is on its way!
I can't imagine how much are they adding to the MSRP to the top trim hybrids...
5k+. They’ve all gotten greedy in the last 9 months especially
@@PostprandialTorpor we wanted a Palisade but with the 10k over MSRP we will be waiting until probably next year if not later 😪
Depends where you purchase one.
We got our Limited Hybrid Loaded at MSRP.
We are pleased with our RAV4.
We plan on keeping it 10-15 years.
Just like we have kept our 2007 Camry XLE all these years.
👍
A poor hyundai or a nissan has remote starter on the keyfob and this LIMITED toyota doesn’t ? Shame on you Toyota.
You can get aftermarket if you really like it that bad. Did that to my 2020 corolla LE
Typical Toyota they make a great car however for upgrading you have to pay!
cuz they want u to pay $80/year for their Remote Connect Services to get remote start on the fob or your smartphone
The remote is on the key fob press lock2 times then press lock again but hold lock button the rav 4 will blink twice and then start (LIMITED XLE PREMIUM ONLY )
Not on the key fob but you can do it from your phone or smartwatch and control the climate and what not.
the price does not include dealer markup and options add on
Good luck finding one at MSRP
If you are in Southern California, there’s Longo Toyota. I have talked to the internet manager and they sell msrp, no markup or optional add ons
@@benc4181 Awesome Ben. No mark ups in NZ for new vehicles. It is illegal here.
It is easy to find one at MRSP. I went to 5 dealerships in 2 states and were all selling at MSRP with no dealer fees.
You just have to live in a properly run state.
Had a 21 hybrid. Interior feels cheap and the graphics on the navigation screen is very poor. You can see the pixels!!.
It’s too bad you didn’t check your OCD before you bought the car. The interior doesn’t seem cheap to me because I had a 2011 Camry before. All that aside what did you end up buying after the RAV4. What do you like about your current ride
@@sammyjammy6647 yes I did buy the 21 RAV4 hybrid but sold it soon after. It’s not about OCD. I mean you think it’s ok to see the pixels on the screen on a 35k car???. Not to mention the hollow feel of the car. It felt more like a 25k vehicle and not close to 40k dollars. I now have a 2022 Lexus GX460. This one is on a whole different level quality wise.
@@Odat how much did you pay for the Lexus out the door?
@@sammyjammy6647 about $65k. Don’t get me wrong, the RAV4 is a good car and no doubt reliable.
@@sammyjammy6647 my brother drove a 21 RAV4 and really liked it. I guess people have different opinions.
Do the rear seats lay flat enough to be able to lay down comfortably and sleep? I was hoping to be able to camp out of the back of a RAV4.
Yes, they're flat
I see about 20 of these a day just going to and from work hour round trip. I can see why everyone would want one but I would rather have something not everyone is driving like where I live I rarely see an es350. Maybe 1 the whole week if that.
thats good it will be cheap to fix in the long run
Having a 21 rav same model how the heck are you tolerating the heat at 78 and 79 I cook at 70! haha
We were cold lol
I can't get one because of supply problems. So there's that.
toyota still one of the most reliable cars out there, but its exterior and interior features and looks will always be very meh
Like the exterior design but interior is just meh( IMHO) next to Mazda CX5
Also this dude talking is really cute
Just ordered one of these in XLE. Have a hybrid sienna and it sold me on Toyota hybrids. Used to be a Honda guy, and agree the CRV looks better on paper, but I lost confidence in Honda lost me a few years ago.
What happened to honda ? I usually prefer honda but these Toyota hybrid win me over
But like what was the camera man doing

Why are they so concerned about coupons?? 😂🤣
I think of buy a used 22' Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
It is a great SUV that I would like to buy. Because its demand is so high now thanks to the sky high gas price, southern CA dealers all want to add at least $5000 for nothing, so called "deal markups", and you have to wait.
Come to NZ. Mark ups are illegal here.
Elk Grove Toyota in northern California has no markups. You will have to order one from the factory, however.
@@johnmartin7158 REALLY??!
@@rayemanuel7460 DAME lol
@@2000rayc My 2022 Toyota RAV4 Adventure Hybrid was pre booked in October last year. It will arrive in early May 2022. MMP. No mark ups allowed. And I have heard in USA some good dealers will not do mark ups or whatever phrase you guys use. Steven Welch refuses to do it. I listen to his channel.
Much love to you guys. NZ
The RAV4 interior has become dated when compared to other manufacturers
Trading in a 2010- this feels like a space ship to me
This is why I went for the XSE, with its unique glossy black trims, instead of the matte black plastic trims. For a limited model, I wouldn't have put such a material as an accent for bumpers
Though not available as a hybrid, the Mazda CX-5 is still my favorite in this class size of SUV. Better exterior styling and much higher end luxury level interior. Time for Toyota to do a refresh.
To each his/her own, I like the rugged 4runner look of Rav4(more space + inch taller ground clearance for light off-road, which I enjoy) over smooth & curvy look of Mazda CX-5. Not many consider the Mazda CX-5 as luxurious. And for the interior, both are dated and sucks, a major reason why I don't own a Rav4 hybrid yet. Not gonna look at that hideous infotainment screen almost everyday for years. Was waiting for CX-50 hybrid but big disappointment after seeing the review videos, it's just a short and fat version of CX-5 with bigger head. Patiently waiting for a Rav4 hybrid with a new infotainment system like in the NX350h.
@@matrix-fh9tn same here. I once had a Mazda CX-5 as a rental and was not impressed whatsoever. Plus, I only fill up every 3 weeks in my Rav4.
The new Kia Sportage is cheaper and nicer than this ! Interior blows this away by a mile…they forgot to update the inside 😂
Tucson hybrid is cheaper and nicer, too. But still can't touch Rav4 hybrid resale and mpg. Is what it is.
The Kia isn't as reliable as the Toyota though. There's a very good chance that more things are going to need to be repaired with the Kia.
wonder when they'll get rid of that fugly grainy grey plastic trim crap on the edges.
For that kind of money the rav4 should have brought back the 3.5L v6. 40K for a rav4 w a noisy 4 cylinder hybrid or non hybrid is just unacceptable
Why doesn’t Toyota refresh that infotainment tho. This looks Played out.
Bought Rav4 Hybrid XSE 2022 yesterday and already ran in to 'Hybrid Malfunction' error.. had to take it back to dealership to get it look at.. huge disappointment! Bought the car but can't drive it! Toyota quality has gone down hill!
Did they fix it?
@@gelaigurl Yes, they said it was a loose plug.
@@karishannie Was it built in Kentucky?
@@nobodyimportant7804 i have no idea
@@karishannie If the vin doesn't start with a J, it likely was built in Kentucky. Any Toyota built in Kentucky is a Toyota in name only.
Toyota is a great product but….. do not like the looks. Sloppy looking, dated and boring. I just drove one for a few days and found the interior very cheep looking. Plastic doors… Have ordered a Mazda CX 5 Sport
Wait till the redesigned CRV comes out. If Honda makes the necessary improvements, there won't be any stopping it. The current generation CRV is already more spacious than the Rav4, has real leather, a peppier engine and a more premium interior. Honda just needs to update the CRV's infotainment system and hopefully add ventilated seats, and maybe heated rear seats and then it'll be #1.
My wife is driving a 2021 RAV4 rental. It’s so cheap inside compared to a Crv I drove last year. And acceleration is laughable as is low end torque. Rear cargo space isn’t as good as the Crvs is. Way behind Kia and Hyundai interiors as well as Mazda just to name a few.
I drove a 21 CRV and it was a gutless wonder and got worse gas mileage than the RAV4.
Not worth 43k for what you get
🤪coupons !
Car prices are ridiculous nowadays. This thing costs $3000 more than my 280 horsepower Tesla
Yeah, but I can drive a Rav4 across the country on a road trip without having to worrying about charging up.
@@MrBigBoy4Life good for you. None of the people I know would across the country on a road trip. Everyone I know works in cities
@@peterequations My point exactly! You’re limited as to where you can travel with EV’s because the country’s infrastructure hasn’t caught as which isn’t the same for Hybrids.
Two way lumbar support. Booooooo!
Interior 😖
Buying a 22 RAV4 SE is one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
Of course, it is a fake Toyota built in Kentucky, so it is awful. 33 MPG is really good mileage for this POS. Eco mode gives worse gas mileage than normal and sport mode does nothing. The paint job sucks. The engine starting up causes the entire car to shake.
It is underfeatured, no garage door opener on the mirror and no fog lights. No upgraded audio possibilities and the standard audio is abysmal.
It is pure trash.
