My wife and I purchased a Toyota 2022 RAV 4 Prime in March. 45 miles on electric and 38-40+ mpg on gas and its all wheel drive. Yes this is the best plug in SUV out there.
Congratulations on your purchase and thank you for sharing your experience.
Personal Electric ranges:
54 miles summer
35 miles winter
Thank you for sharing!
WOW!
no spare tire ?
are 17 inches rims really much more comfortable than 18?
@@protomatala180 … he said it had a spare tire at time 3:40
Nice vehicle. Love how the dealers aways showing the most expensive vehicle when they order it. Never the ones in between.
I am just glad that my dealer did NOT mark the price up above list. These cars are as scarce as hen’s teeth!
Actually my Dealer said the last allocation of 9 Primes for the southeast were NOT fully loaded.
Depends what they get usually they have 1 or 2 coming in and sometimes their models are more loaded then others. Get the XSE the SE isn't that good with such a slow charger
They don't really make the se. The dealer was trying to talk me out of the xse and didn't even have it in stock to show me. I am now waiting for one to be available
Great Review,Thanks. My wife just received her 2022 Rav4 Prime XSE. She and I both love this car.It is very quick locally and on the highway.The only draw back is the xse unless you get the 6000 dollar option you will not get any front parking assist or beeper. you have no idea on how close you are to any object in front of you. This is not a problem for me because I'm 6foot.But if you are any shorter than say 5feet 4 inchyou can't even see the front of your car .All you'll see is the dash, try parking your car like that.Other wise the car is GREAT!!!
We signed a contract tonight for a red RAV4 Prime XSE to be delivered between April 14 and 20. Our dealer charged $3000.00 over MSRP, but he found us a vehicle within 3 weeks of our first inquiry. We drive a minimum of 350 mi each week, most of it in 40 mile increments. We have solar panels at home, and free charging at the office. That savings over $5.50 per gallon petrol considerably softens the monthly payment. We can’t wait, and we shall post our driving experience and impressions, from far Northern California. First time ever buying a vehicle we have never driven…. Strange times indeed!
Hey did you get the car? do you like it ? we want one too here in SF
@@rocket2811 We got the car March 23. We have put just under 1000 miles on it, and we are very pleased. The charging time on this XSE is about 12 hours using 120 volt cable supplied. We are getting 38 miles range in EV mode running the heater in our cold mornings. I have not pushed the car, breaking it in gently. It is very quick with plenty of acceleration regardless of mode. We too it to the snow at Crater Lake and it performed very well. We are both very pleased so far. It is a quiet and very comfortable car! The JBL sound system is very good.
On the wait list for top of the line version. It is expected to come in next month. Once I see it in person, I will make the final decision....but I think I will go for it as long as gov't tax incentives are still applicable.
Please stop back by and let us know what your final decision is.
I'm on the same boat. As long as it's not red ill probably pull the trigger
@Creativity by Carilyn Out of curiosity how long have you been on the wait list? Thinking of purchasing one myself and my decision is kind of contingent on this.
@@Brazzy614 i waited for about 2 months and got my about a month ago. I knew someone at the dealer who may have sped it up for us. It's very nice to rarely use gas.
Picking up my new '22 SE Rav 4 Prime today. Got it for list price--no markup. Waited 7 1/2 months.
Nice job, Bruno! Congratulations on your purchase!
In Sweden I have to wait a year for plug in
will cost around 65k fully loaded
Sorry to hear that!
I have a XSE PRIME with ALL the bells and whistles on order in Augusta GA.
Picked mine up a week ago and love it. Trust me all the bells and whistles is a must for this vehicle.
Does it have android auto? Is it wired or wireless?
@@dranik84 wireless have the same one got it for 45000 fully loaded with rebates
Looking for one and I'm not paying markup, don't care how good the car is. Especially doing a trade in I'd rather let the dealership sit on a loss at that stage
@@MrJpiarull find the right dealer. I'm getting MSRP. Also, I ordered the car.. cars that are already on the lot will have mark up
A bad driver on a trip home led to a visit to my local dealer a few days at the exact time a plug in Rav magically appeared at the dealership. Amazingly, no wait, just sign on the (inflated) dotted line. They had a bizarre word to describe (we got you by the xxx) because if we passed there is a line waiting outside the door around the block : -|. Other than that, it is a really nice car and the ev range given is conservative. I got 42 towing a light trailer with sometimes AC. It looks like I'll be able to do at least 90% of my driving on electricity.
Sorry to hear about your experience with a bad driver, Harry.
great video good information!
Thank you!
Does the supplied charging cable just do 120 volt only??? Do you have to but a separate cable for 240 volt charging???
I love how this car has electric and gas
Same here. Not ready for EV only as I enjoy long road trips. That piece of mind that it is still a gasoline hybrid is sold me on it.
@@DocMicrowave how much you got it for? I plan on getting mine in my business name
@@venusela Haven't got it yet. They are holding it for me. Working out a discount with my trade in. Hoping for a 10k+ discount. Looking at a final purchase in early June.
One thing having a PHEV like this, I don't expect to have the 'range anxiety' that some full EV owners experience.
EVs are great in the city. But on long road trips, I don't think the infrastructure is quite there yet to support EV vehicles at every single gas station. Also, the technology is just not there yet to fully charge a battery as quickly as filling a full tank of gas. My road trips can be over a thousand miles one way in some cases.
@@DocMicrowave Wow didn’t think about the problems with the mileage, thank you
We are looking forward to our RAV4 Limited Hybrid.
It is suppose to be built starting on March 14th.
What annoys me about getting a 2022 Limited is that there is NO HUD on it.
Toyota put them in the Prime but not the Limited?
Other that that we are excited about this RAV4.
We have not bought a higher trim level vehicle in 15 years.
Now that the kids are grown up we can spurge a bit.
Yeah big downer with no HUD on limited. And no panoramic option in canada also
@@susanamiranda8088 Yeah. WE have the Pano-Roof.
I would gladly swap it for the HUD though.
Atleast you got the pano roof. But i saw on amazon they sell hud that can be installed also. Not sure on cost and if its worth it
Cool nice car
Is this the model with the premium technology package?
Great video, been trying to get my hands on one for six months. Question in strictly EV Mode, if you turn on Heater or AC does it switch over to Hybrid mode or will it stay in EV MODE ?? I think it would have to switch to gas.
That is a great question! Since the AC was already on during the test drive I cannot answer. I’ll have to see if I can find an answer for you or maybe somebody can answer who owns a model like this. If I get my hands on another in the near future I will definitely try that out.
Join the club. Been waiting since October 21 and put a deposit on it. 6 months too
The Prime wil stay in EV mode with teater or AC - unless is it VERY cold
I just bought the XSE rav 4 prime. I'd like to know what comes as STANDARD because mine does NOT have a passenger power seat for starters. Your video car has passenger power so I am wondering about my car.
Hello this is Joseph again, I’ve mentioned that I got the 2019 Toyota RAV4 Limited FWD version.
I went to buy one from my local Canadian dealer and was told there was a 2 or 3 year waiting list. I declined!😚
Wow! So sorry to heat that.
Wow. I live in canada was told 6 to 8 months, i said i might as well order the 2023 now then
@@susanamiranda8088 thanks for sharing. The original comment beat the sh!t out of me as would be owner😊
Why they don’t have prim in penslyvania
I have a deposit on this exact model. In Blizzard White. Hopefully I will get one by June?
Nice called my Toyota dealer and spoke to my usual Toyota guy and got mine coming in April. Rav4 Prime XSE fully loaded
@@michaelching6486 did you get it at msrp or did your dealership mark it up?
@@packey746 nope I got it for 5k over msrp but I didn't have to go on any waitlist
Seems like you can't find them and the dealerships are claiming they can't even order vehicles, I was told that Toyota sends each dealer the vehicles they want them to have 😂
It has definitely been far more difficult to find new vehicles. Some more challenging from one brand to another whole some always seem to have at least a few on the lot.
You need to get to know the sales managers and when they get allocation of new Rav4 primes they'll call you first
@@michaelching6486 I'm a Toyota employee, they don't want to mess with me because I get employee pricing, So if I can't direct order it I'm pretty much out of luck
@@michaelching6486 I called the closest out of state dealers and all of them told me they aren't doing out of state business due to the lack of inventory
U said 94 mile per gallon which means slower driving or faster driving
Are there tow points?
Is a catalytic converter cover available, for people who want to steal a catalytic converter????
Good question.
How did you get the car in all black? The build feature on the Toyota website only allows two tone
I got mine in Black cosmos. The dealer offered to me meanwhile we were negotiating other car color that picked up at their site:0
Which USB ports are USB-A, or USB C????
I believe they are all A.
If you wanna go green, you gotta pay lots of green...he he heee!
Where is the big battery located?? Under back seat , or in the cargo area????
Under the car
Is this XSE tech package?
Not sure I’d want to carry that ginormous remote around in my pocket. I like my wife’s Tesla that just works off my phone.
Havethe same car az your video. Ev 50 degrees 49 .iles
We just ordered ours with a much higher markup than we were expecting. No strings attached because they have no problem selling these, but still wondering if I'm overpaying ($65K)
What trim level?
@@tommoore2797 XSE.
Me two , So Cal market is hard, so like you I’m paying the same price out the door on my prime xse premium package with extras. Sold my 2021 Honda Accord for the msrp ,after 18 months of owning it, which is crazy.
$53k out the door with no options spared here in northwest Texas
$65k 😂 dang you got hosed.
I have one on order the XSE, but, there is none allocated for my dealer. Come on Toyota getter done, ship now.
I hope you are able to get your RAV4 soon. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
I feel you.... I'm been waiting my XSE since October 2020! I have been stuck at 37 in line at my dealer since last summer!
Question how fast ev mode can drive
As I understand it, up to 84mph, which is fantastic to me.
Of course, that sustained speed will wear the battery down faster.
I own a 2020 rav4 with the same blueprint color. I find it unnecessary to buy a 2022 when it's basically very VERY similar... it just looks like a 2019-21 version. I never understood the reasoning ppl will use the year to buy it if it looks the same! Just bc its a newer year and same looks doesn't make any difference to me
Well, 2021 was the first year of the PRIME version, that being a plug-in hybrid version. So your 2020 RAV4 is not the same.
Hi my name is Joseph and I am very happy to let you know that I got the 2019 Toyota RAV4 LIMITED but the downside is that how come per what I know is that Toyota RAV4 has a different trim, since I have the LIMITED VERSION, it should have all those accessories available on this trim, right? I only has the automatic headlights turn on high beam to low beam and the push bottom on rear trunk. Why some of same trim and year has the automatic using your foot? And also the knob by the shifter. Won’t it be all the same accessories installed in an according to trims? I’ve been asking this for quite sometime but I still has no idea why I didn’t get any answers yet. Please reply and i thank you
If I was right there, I’d have given the tough guy truck an earful of the horn and put him on TH-cam, maybe turn him into the authorities.
You are welcome to use that footage if you want, David. If you need me to it to you, I will be happy to.
@@VehicleVisionary
Haha! No need. I saw some karma right there. See the Jeep that cut him off? RAM sure got far enough right there. Oh, I daresay that was some good justice.
they are asking 66K for XSE ...lol
I really thought Toyota got rid of the ventilated seats for 2022
HUD = heads up display, that shows on the windshield
Nope, you can opt for seats with heating and cooling.

1.7 Million Honda Accord, CR-V Vehicles Investigated for Braking Problem
2. oil dulution
3. turbos burns oil
4. way expensive than toyota!
At my place , we have 1 CRV 2016 and CR 2019 and CRV 2020. CRV 2019 and 2020 have the same issue, Which is OIL DILUTION. The CRV 2016, has a problem with oil leaking at around 60,000 miles and now, the engine light is on, the system shows , I have to change Catalyst Converter ( upper) at 116,000 miles. CAT supposedly good until 180-200k miles and also 13 MPG in the city. There is no way I will choose CRV in the future. This RAV4 is a good option but I’ll never want to purchase at $65K. I’ll rather purchase Tesla at that level.
