@Toyotajeff: Bought the 2024 hybrid XSE silver sky/black earlier this month. Did a comparison of features with SE and thought the higher price was worth it. Watched ToyotaJeff's 2023 rav4 hybrid videos a bunch before buying, too!
I just bought the XSE in Cavalier blue 2 days ago and I love it. I am glad I did go with the XSE over the SE for the leather and power lift gate. So far I love it.
Exactly the same as previous year Toyota RAV4 2023 Hybrid SE trim. Nothing has changed. The only difference I see is Toyota is charging now for some factory or port entry upgrades, that weren’t available in ‘23. Wonder how new generation design will be in 2025. ❤🚘
Jeff, I am really digging that Cavalry Blue 😁 Here we are in 2024 and Toyota still cannot build enough RAV4 Hybrids in North America 11:01 to keep up with demand. 🤑
The Distributor Options: Toyota Guard? Smart LED Lighting? Multi Media Screen Protector? Phone Charging Package? No way I’d pay for these. I would be jumping into a vehicle with huge negative equity.
You’re both wrong. Save a little longer (if you can), put more money down, and never have negative equity. I agree with @stevekuebler5101 that the options are bs, but if you need a car and that’s the only way you can find it - consider it part of the transaction cost and move on with your life.
Buying a Toyota is a pain. Figuring out the trim level differences, what options go with what package etc. I really have to work to figure out what I want. Honda and Mazda make it much easier. Dealers don't help because they want to sell what they have and Toyota doesn't let you custom order so i spend hours on the website and going from dealer to dealer looking for the right vehicle (because they don't have accurate information on the web and they will not tell you what they have over the phone.) Great vehicles but a terrible buying experience.
Great review. Finally LED front turn signals. Will Toyota ever ugrade the rear turn signals from incandescent to LED ??? The interior LED accessory pkg replace all interior lighting to LED ?
I bought my 2024 Rav 4 Prime the end of November, and I love it. Although I do admit it was much more expensive. You do get 6,500 off the price of the prime of you lease it.
Does anyone know how digital review mirror in advance technology package is different from the standard one? Does that mean that standard one does not have review mirror? Thanks
1,750 lbs is the tow rating. I am sure Jeff won't mind if I recommend that you refer to the RAV4 Hybrid tow videos on the Alex on Autos/Auto Buyers Guide channel .
You're kidding aren't you? This car is one of the best designs ever. It has a monster cat face. The back side can probably be changed slightly, but just minor changes and that's all.
FOLKS TOYOTAS ARE WORK FOR OUR MONEY THEY LAST LONG ALL YOU DO MANTANCE CHANGE OIL 🛢 YOU NEVER WORRY ABOUT TRANSMISSION BROKE AND ENGINES LEAK MY FAVORITE CAR 🚗 TOYOTA.
You're serious? Don't worry about changing your tranny or rear differential fluid? Ha! It's so easy to do on the Hybrid especially. Let's see how long YOUR vehicle lasts. If you say a couple hundred thousand, that is WAY too short for how long a Toyota hybrid can last IF you change ALL your fluids when they're supposed to be changed.
Do you like the Hybrid SE? If not, what other RAV4 do you like? Jeff
Jeff, The word 'like' does not begin to describe the way I feel about the RAV4 Hybrid SE. 🤩
I BET YOU say that to all THE FRESH NEW HOTTIE TOYOTAS!

Rav4 adventure or TRD pro
2024 Hybrid XLE Premium
I just bought the XSE in Cavalier blue 2 days ago and I love it. I am glad I did go with the XSE over the SE for the leather and power lift gate. So far I love it.
Envy you lol got my Prime SE in Red but blue looks good!!!
XSE with leather? The XLE and Limited have leather but not the XSE.
I got mine in November i love it too!! Same exact car. I love the features it has. The panoramic moon roof the rearview mirror camera
In Canada moonroof..power lift gate and heated steering wheel is standard feature..
my worry would be the sunroof leaking and ruining the car
hate that you can't get XSE without sunroof it's idiotic
Best Toyota channel on YT. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Love your videos, clear and to the point and great sense of humor. Your style is very unique!
Just to add - In Canada, Moon Roof and Power Rear Door are included in SE Trim!

What?! No matter what you buy, the minute you drive off the lot you have ”negative equity”. Buying a car is not an investment plan.
You’re both wrong. Save a little longer (if you can), put more money down, and never have negative equity. I agree with @stevekuebler5101 that the options are bs, but if you need a car and that’s the only way you can find it - consider it part of the transaction cost and move on with your life.
Just bought a 24' camry se hybrid in this same color, it looks so much better and unique in person
Just got a ‘24 Hybrid SE with a retractable sun roof and hatch open button on the Fob, but no LED mood lighting ☹️, so I guess features can differ

Best Rav4, wish i could pick up another
Is there a Limited model or is this 1 down from the top trim? The calvary blue is amazing looking.
i have the le and it is mostly the same
Oh oh oh oh ohhhh, oh oh oh ohhhhh. Oh oh oh oh ohhhh… the right stuff!
Genius!
How come I still can't find a RAV4 Prime?!

Liftgate and moonroof are options on SE not standard
In US..yes..in Canada it’s standard..
Does it come with heated steering and heated seats?
No power lift gate?
Yep, thats a shame.
In US it’s an add on..Canada it’s standard..
We want Digital Car Key!
Does anyone know how digital review mirror in advance technology package is different from the standard one? Does that mean that standard one does not have review mirror? Thanks
Digital mirror uses combined camera views to produce a widescreen like image. We found it unsettling in the test drive. Some like it.
I want to buy a 2025 RAV4 Hybrid XSE (if Toyota is still selling the XSE) in white with a black painted roof. I like planes too Jeff.
What color is this?
Calvary Blue?
Not our choice either.
I did see anything different from my 23 SE
We also want ventilated seats
Only in the Limited unfortunately.
Get someone else to do this advertising
Looks lifted
How much can it tow?
hybrids tow 1500lbs, but you need to get the adventure model to 3500lbs
1,750 lbs is the tow rating. I am sure Jeff won't mind if I recommend that you refer to the RAV4 Hybrid tow videos on the Alex on Autos/Auto Buyers Guide channel .
Help I’m in buying XSE
No moonroof
Go to a higher trim then
In US it’s an add on..in Canada it’s standard..
that's a good thing. If your seal goes it's going to be mega expensive for something that is barely used and adds road noise to a vehicle
😊
Wow japan
This was dreadful lol
Over hyped , over priced , negligence of other hybrid manufacturers - Toyota is ripping prices up for such an old model..
Nobody is forcing you to buy. Get a hyundai and drive it for four years before it blows up
All RAV4 cars are ugliest cars ever ,I have one and It’s not give me any vibes of car ,so please don’t waste money on this brand of Toyota
You're kidding aren't you? This car is one of the best designs ever. It has a monster cat face. The back side can probably be changed slightly, but just minor changes and that's all.
Then why did you buy it in the first place?..😂
To each his own. Try the CRV lol.
That is one of the UGLIEST colors. Who creates these colors??? Meanwhile no BLACK, or Metallic Midnight Blue.

True but other cars are just as good. I drive a Dodge for 14 years now and not one problem. Nothing 😊
@@agak61lol youre just lucky then. Dodge sucks no bullshit quit fronting.
@@iskdude9922 I know ☺️ I can’t believe it myself. Plus it took me cross country 2 times
