Toyota you guys see how much people want this vehicle. Plug in hybrids are so much better for most people than electric cars. You get 30 or 40 miles on a charge and you don't have to worry about range anxiety because you still have a gas engine when you need it most like in really cold winters and on road trips. Please ramp up production and give us more plug in hybrids. We could use a plug in camry, highlander, tacoma, and pretty much every other model you sell!
I def agree. The auto industry should have transitioned their entire line ups to hybrid/plug-in hybrids and then later transition to fully electric. That would have giving people plenty of time to adjust.
… I waited 18 months on a wait list and understood it would be at MSRP. They finally call and say it will be $49,xxx +$20,000 market adjustment. Almost $70k… I laughed, came home, and ordered a Tesla Model Y. $47k after tax credit, and I love it so far. My Toyota dealership converted a life-long Toyota buyer to a Tesla fan.
@@executivecallahan1599 a bucket of bolts is exactly what Toyota has become. Gone is the old reliability they were once know for. My 2013 Lexus gs transmission started going out even though I was babying it.
@@executivecallahan1599 The transmission on my Lexus is sealed, there isn’t a drain plug or fill location. You literally need to take the transmission off the car, take it apart to get the old fluid out, then pour in new fluid and seal the transmission up. Do you have any idea how much money a job like that would take? It would cost thousands. This is done on purpose to break transmissions and make the customer pay.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of introducing and developing one of the hybrid engines that operates with Litehome high-voltage batteries and a gasoline engine. I am very proud and thankful for this giant company, which has sold more than 50 million copies. Exactly the TOYOTA COROLLA version. Which received a good turnout from customers. Thank you TOYOTA management, workers, technicians, managers, and every customer who uses this most wonderful car. Special thanks from Morocco.
Best car I ever owned! Toyota should have gone with the "Prime" branding globally, and not just in the US. Also the vertical DRL look amazing, but only available on US model??? Come ooon! :(
@@sandwichxiii You can do better than using ‘literally’ superfluously. Dealers order vehicles they want. You think Toyota just ships random cars? You know nothing about what you’re speaking of. They’re being shipped all around the country when supply is available and the dealer request them. SO, you should “literally” understand how this works before you speak, basement gamer.
I was at my dealer the other day for service on our old Toyota and jokingly asked a salesperson is it even possible to buy a Prime and he just burst into laughter and waved around to the nearly empty showroom and front lot 😞
Hi, there! We appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention. If you feel you need to discuss this matter further, we kindly request you to please call the Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331.
@@toyotausa thanks for the reply. what I mentioned above happened last December. We were planning to trade in for a Prime last year, but it became clear it was never going to happen because there was simply no inventory and waiting years on a list just wasn’t feasible. We’ve since moved on to a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV instead.
I almost got the Ionic6. Good thing at last minute I changed my mind. $40 miles added and cost of charging $1.84 here in California. I’m a happy camper.
Switch dealers. Some will stick with MSRP and taking a drive to pick it up from a further away dealer isn't very expensive by comparison. Personally I still won't do it though because I want to test drive one first.
I have a 2011 V6 Rav4 that I bought literally out of the showroom a dozen years ago. I like it. This Prime has me tempted to replace it if availability becomes good enough that I can test drive one.
Curious and I don’t know much about plug ins. Can it be charged on a 15 amp 120v circuit? In particular a cycling one. Many hotels have outside plugs that cycles off and on to lower demand and consumption?
Wow! What a great vehicle!!! Just make sure you have EAR PLUGS for all the ROAD NOISE- this thing is LOUD- like REALLY LOUD!!!! I've ridden in commercial trucks that are quieter- literally! Same as all RAV 4's have been.
Hi, there! 😀 We appreciate you reaching out! You have reached Toyota USA, and we are only able to handle inquiries for vehicles being sold within the United States.

It's only good if it can be used. When availability is fixed, I'll call it better than good, superior even, but until then, it's just a frustrating tease.
On the MSN article for this Kur Kat ask if this is a copy of the Chevy Volt from 13 years ago. No, it isn't this a Rear-Wheel-Drive vehicle that doesn't have the same structural defects a FWD car does. And since it is a hybrid with just an electric motor which I believe is powered by the gas engine there is no need for a battery which is the main reason as to why Tesla catch on fire or blow up. (A structural defect around it actually.)
The RAV4 Prime is a great crossover, but the bZ4X is ideal for those looking for an eco-friendly, fully electric ride with modern tech and sustainable driving.
Waiting for my blueprint Prime to arrive. Would have loved a calvary blue Prime or even a lunar rock one, but alas Toyota don't carry those colors for the Prime. I have to ask. Why not? It's like RAV4 Hybrid got all the cool colors, and the awesomer Prime gets stuck with banal ones.
Are there any other Toyota owners out there who are pissed off that when you start the car, the display comes up with the "Experience Drive Connect" banner? It stays there till you hit a button to change the display to something else. I paid $50k for my R4P, and I'm forced to look at an ad for an optional (and overpriced) add on?
I'm surprised no cooling seats 🤔. It would be nice to have cooling steering wheel function, but I'm sure no auto marker has ever thought about that one lol.
Hi, Jim. We appreciate you reaching out. Your feedback is important to us, as your honest thoughts help us to continuously improve. Please know, we have registered your suggestion here at Toyota Headquarters.
I thought you will include a 0-60-100mph acceleration clip in this video. Too bad dealerships don't have vehicles to test drive. Hopefully will test on my buddy's Rav4 Prime.
@@markngo2054 already did. Specifically the red Model S on my AUXITO DD-Y13 LED video. Yes the initial acceleration is very good. Don't want to disrespectful, but the driving feel, the quality of the Model S is meh. Something like a Lexus ES would be a much better quality car than a Model S for me.
Please make the new 4Runner where we can take off the top and door PLEASE. I don't want to buy the Wrangler or Bronco I want to stay with Toyota. We all need a 4Runner with top and door off since the new Land Cruiser will be almost the same size. TOP AND DOOR OFF 4RUNNER #4runnertopanddooroff
I cannot see paying a significant price increase for a plug-in unless the battery gets 100 miles. Of course, a hundred-mile battery will provide 75-80 miles in cold weather.
The hunger sell strategy doesn't work very well but pushes Toyota's potential customers to much faster and more affordable Tesla Models Y & 3! That is why Tesla Y claim the No. 1 seller in the world, not Toyota RAV4 anymore!

Wake up and listen Toyota. I left Toyota for the same reason.
Yes, same here. I got MY Dec 2022. Did not get any tax break and price was higher but no regret!

Best ride in the world... 🗾
Can you please make a Prius trim with 8 inch ground clearance for city roads
Keep trying pal. 😂🤣🤓 I DO agree, ppl who LOWER them? 🤔 It's THEIR vehicle & not my place. I think preferably an AWD/8" height. ✊🇺🇸
Lol
This is the same platform with the 8" clearance you want.
Same drivetrain too.

Frustrating that my local dealer says this vehicle will be unavailable for 12-14 months.
I need a demo🥰🥰
This is the only hybrid I must buy it Toyota.
I really would like to buy this car but my dealer wants $10K over MSRP.

Great car but the price is insane!
Too bad it is not eligible for any federal tax rebates.
That s why Tesla MY is the best selling now.
Are we gonna get a heritage v6 rav4 sport edition someday?
I have a 2011 V6 Rav4 that I bought literally out of the showroom a dozen years ago. I like it. This Prime has me tempted to replace it if availability becomes good enough that I can test drive one.

Yes it can. Before I installed a level 2 charger on my house I charged my Outlander with a 120 v plug
Is a power passenger seat available. Particularly up? Short wife.
Does anyone know if these wheels are already available on the market?
Wow! What a great vehicle!!! Just make sure you have EAR PLUGS for all the ROAD NOISE- this thing is LOUD- like REALLY LOUD!!!! I've ridden in commercial trucks that are quieter- literally! Same as all RAV 4's have been.

Aubrey, what piqued your interest in the RAV4?
Luxurious beautiful RAV4
😍 😎
It’s a little odd that this isn’t the 2023 model even though the title says it is.
There’s so little stock that they didn’t even have one for this official Toyota video
Didn’t you notice the infotainment screen? It’s a 2023
I want to buy one in next month... Around Chicago, but no dealer has it? Why, Toyota, Why?

This is why I will likely have to change brands.

Why even make commercials when you can’t deliver the product?
The dealer want it for 55000
Hopefully in 2-3 years will be more available and sell for MSRP
I'll wait for a single owner lease with low mileage and a clean CarFax.
I was set on an outback wilderness and now I'm looking at a Rav4 Prime - two different cars, but I'm stuck 🫠
I like how there's demand, really good demand for these cars. It's Supposely be affordable, but not anymore. Are we buying a Toyota or a Lexus?

I cannot see paying a significant price increase for a plug-in unless the battery gets 100 miles. Of course, a hundred-mile battery will provide 75-80 miles in cold weather.
I feel it's still a good deal because you only buy gas for long trips whereas traditional non-plug-in hybrid burns gas every day for the most part.

Toyota still allowing price gouging and supply is low… not sure why they even spent time on the video?! They don’t need to advertise it.

Those cars in the video aren’t even 2022 primes
94? bruh
Too much money. Twice the cost of cheapest model. You can buy a lot of gas for $35,000.00.
Why can’t Toyota make an infotainment system?? My 2023 RAV4 4 Prime XSE system is absolute Junk. It’s a simple fix. Copy Tesla 😂
