toyotas will always win my heart
1.reliability
2.resell value
3.drives so smooth
4.cheap on maintence
5.amazing on gas
Opting for the AWD Hybrid over the standard ICE RAV4 is a no-brainer, as the difference in cost will be returned quickly in fuel savings. Also, the Toyota E-CVT transmission is a gear-drive, not a belt-drive unit, and very reliable. I have never heard of anyone having problems with it.
You said $41,000 and economical in the same video... times have really changed... 😂🤣
They have
It is economical if you consider that the average price of a car sold in the U.S. is 48k. So 41k would be below average.
I was looking at that new Escalade, this is very reasonable.
Someone once told me the newer Civic Type R cost double the EP3's which were £15k new in like 2002 or something. I did mention that it's been like 20 years.
41k 20 years a go probably got you a lot for your money. For today, 41k isn't that much really.
In Uruguay the same car is 67k. 41 sounds cheap here 😅
My dream hybrid SUV! Awesome job Ben.
As someone from California, I went to Utah for a snow trip, definitely the RAV4 Hybrid is the perfect car for all conditions. Utah is beautiful.
Great to know! Thanks
I love your work you know car snd doesn’t try to sell one your honest. Thank you
Great video. Thank you.
Very smooth car!
Thanks:)
awesome suv, enjoyed driving it
I paid $32k out the door for my 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XLE Premium. Prices are crazy right now.
XLE is two trim levels below limited
@@pagodad8079
Still crazy, below is just website MSRP from build my rav4.
- 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XLE Premium MSRP: $36,960
- 2023 RAV4 Hybrid Limited MSRP: $40,865
With just tax and dealer handling ~$1K, OTD must be near ~$42K for Hybrid XLE Premium, and ~$46K for Hybrid Limited. After including any dealer pre-install and owner choosen accessories, doc & lic fee, it would go up to near ~$49K for Hybrid Limited.
Best purchase on that lot is the Inferno 4Runner in the background.
Got the exact model and color coming in 6 weeks .
Did the 2023 Rav4 hybrid fix the high voltage cable corrosion problem that plagued the 2021 and 2022 models with huge expensive repair bills because of a faulty design, known as "cablegate"?
We live in western wa state and have been waiting 15 months for ours this friday
I wanted to buy rav 4 hybrid but also interested in highlander. But now highlander looks huge😂
Just perfect Toyota for driving in cities and suburbs. The only additional option that I need for this beautiful car is TRD pro off-road package 👍😎🚙🇦🇿
Not having underfloor cargo storage is disappointing…..That’s a must have for any decent SUV in my book.
Great video!
1) When to use "Trail" vs "Traction Off" button?
2) Any practical reason why Limited has the chrome accent front & read lower bumper? All black honestly looks cleaner IMO.
3) Does truck have a button to close truck+lock all doors?
4) Why in the world did Toyota skimp out on storage pocket behind the driver seat? Utter blunder or actual reason?
5) What's the best way to get black rims (like XSE) to switch out ones on stock Limited tires?
1) When to use "Trail" vs "Traction Off" button? Trail mode is a system that performs integrated control for the AWD, brake, and drive force control systems to assist the drive power on bumpy roads such as a dirt trail. It uses the open differential and braking system to send power from the slipping wheel to the wheel with traction between the left and right sides of the vehicle. Traction Off mode disables the traction control system, which may be useful when trying to free the vehicle from mud or snow. Trail mode should only be used on bumpy, rough roads, while Traction Off mode should be used with caution and only when necessary²⁴.
2) Any practical reason why Limited has the chrome accent front & read lower bumper? All black honestly looks cleaner IMO. I could not find any definitive answer to this question, but it seems to be a matter of personal preference and style. Some people may like the chrome accent as a way to differentiate the Limited trim from other models, while others may prefer the all-black look for a more sleek and sporty appearance.
3) Does truck have a button to close truck+lock all doors? Yes, according to the owner's manual, there is a power back door switch on the instrument panel that can be used to open or close the back door. There is also a back door lock button on the back door handle that can be used to lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
4) Why in the world did Toyota skimp out on storage pocket behind the driver seat? Utter blunder or actual reason? I could not find any official explanation from Toyota for this design choice, but some online reviews have speculated that it may be due to cost-cutting measures or limited space availability. Some reviewers have also noted that there are other storage options in the RAV4 hybrid, such as the large center console bin, glove box, door pockets, and cup holders.
5) What's the best way to get black rims (like XSE) to switch out ones on stock Limited tires? There are different ways to get black rims for your RAV4 hybrid, depending on your budget and preference. One option is to buy aftermarket wheels that are compatible with your vehicle and tires. Another option is to paint or powder coat your existing wheels with black color. A third option is to use wheel covers or skins that fit over your wheels and give them a black appearance. You can find these products online or at local auto shops.
Didnt change the engine but instead added the battery, so i will consider this
Cool nice RAV4
At any hybrid trim level from Toyota you'll get 3 electric motors ,compare to honda's 2 electric motor in the crv. And that small 2.0 L engine, Toyota is the better choice IMO.
My wife and I love it 😊
Prime all the way!
Great video where can I purchase this model in Tampa Fl?
Does this entertainment unit and gauge come with 2023 XSE hybrid as well?
Is the noise level better in the 2023 Hybrid Limited than the other models?
Good video, but you need a longer selfie stick.
Can you do a video on the 2023 Toyota RAV4 Trd off-road please?
Are the day time lamps always on?
I'm split in middle do i buy the Prime of the limited
Are the headliner lights led? White or yellow light?
No remote start?
limited has manually adjusted steering wheel??
Thanks for the video! Wondering if Toyota has done anything to address cable corrosion in the hybrid line of Toyota cars? That issue has haunted hybrid owners and Toyota has dragged their feet in addressing the issue. I’d be hesitant to purchase the hybrid if you plan to keep it for more than a few years!
Cable has been addressed and repaired.
@@MrKeyman04 Actually, I have seen some recent videos that indicate little has been done other than put a cover a ways below it to deflect some of the debris from reaching it. That will at least delay the issue for a few years possibly. Other than that....nothing was done to correct the underlying issue. If you have additional links that shows additional steps that have been taken, I'd love to see it.
Does this have built in remote starter?
Do this model come with navigation? Do it has the panaramic sun roof, do this model come with Birds Eye surround view, do this model come with the rear view mirror cam. Like can we get a proper review ?!!!!?
ben is that the 2wd that you are showing, they make a AWD hybrid that has an extra electric motor for the back axle.
The hybrid is only AWD
@@vvt2257 they have a 2wd hybrid and a AWD hybrid and a 2.0 CVT.
no heads up? that's kinda a deal breaker for me if I'm spending that much on the highest trim.
Hey Ben, would you go with the RAV4 XSE with technology package two tone paint or the Limited Hybrid? I’m in Canada and the Limited is $500 more but get the power passenger seat, rear heated seats and front ventilated seats on the Limited trim. TIA
Limited
@@BenHardyCars Hi Ben, any specific reason you would go with the Limited Hybrid over the XSE Hybrid with technology package? Thanks again, much appreciated.
Always get the limited
@@BC_Hunter hi, any specific reason why the limited over the XSE technology? Just curious as to why since this would be my first rav4. Thanks again, much appreciated!
@@YZERPLAN It has more options than the XSE technology package and is not much more money.
Not having glossy trim on the limited but having it on lower models is a shyt joke....cheap plastic looking trim on the limited makes it look cheap
I've been waiting for mine in Canada for almost a year. Ridiculous...
58 thousand dollars in Australia for a Rav4 Hybrid
unbelievable you cannot review this vehicle on the road. Also important to me to see the functions of the stereo and to talk about that upgraded premium audio. Would love to see what the stereo displays with Apple Carplay/Android Auto. Will the wireless charger hold any plus size phone? Z fold 4, Iphone Max etc. Is that the 10.5" infotainment. Or is that even a upgrade option for the limited?
This is what I need lol
Rav4 has better and more premium materials than that all new 2023 joke crv
I did a cost analysis between the subaru out back onyx xt and the rav 4 xse the subaru between monthly payments and insurance had it beat by 1000$ a year and thats if you dont include all the crazy markups. side by side they where priced pretty similar from the start but with apr and all the bs its just too expensive
Subaru don't have the resale value of a Toyota Rav4, not to mention the reliability, dependability of a Toyota. Trust me I get it....Subee still better than any domestic rides out there! However not like a Toyota still.
did they remove the HUD from previous models?
You have to get the most expensive rav4 prime XSE premium fully loaded to get a heads up display
Dunno bout affordable they still have 8-4k markup on these
Still uses a prop to hold the bonnet up 🤔 Many cheaper cars have gas struts
3 years ago when I was car shopping on a 40k budget it came down to the rav4 limited (gas or hybrid) vs a v6 Camry XSE both fully loaded. And boy am I glad I didn’t get the RAV4
What are you reasons?
@@UnseenSpirit for 40K I get to choose a rav4 with a noisy 4 cylinder and a relatively low rent interior. Or pick a Camry that’s more attractive, much more luxurious, and most importantly, it has a silky smooth v6 that’s significantly quieter and quicker than the rav4.
Plus the Camry offered features the rav4 didn’t offer like a heads up display, 8 way power passenger seat, led interior lighting, full led exterior lighting, ambient lighting,
You cannot get a descent new car that will last under 30,000 so a 41000 well equipped rav4 is a great deal economically
I ordered one of these two months ago in Blueprint with the beige interior. The dealer insisted on a $1k deposit for 18 months, so I'm thinking 12-24 months. :-(
Yikes! I haven’t heard of dealers demanding $1K. Not a dealership I’d want to do business with. I hope you went to a different dealership.
Toyota Dealership near me is demanding $1K to hold one as they come in
@@Glad2BGolden Most larger dealers want some form of down payment, but it's legally refundable due to the long wait.
They removed the wireless charging?
and panoramic roof? ._.
@@sergiosalazaraviles4616 I think the pano roof is only available on the Prime now.
The pano roof I believe is available on the limited and XSE models.
The wireless charger is part of the advanced technology package on the limited trim
I wish the head liner was black ughhhh is that a me thing?
No I also hate that double color they do
You look like the mascot for hipsters
Road noise is awful.
Interior dull.
Very low cost.
Excellent fuel economy.
Does the 2023 model have USB-A or USB-C ports, out of curiosity?
USB-C
Both
eCVT has nothing to do with CVT..!
Is 2023 hybrids still have high voltages cable (cablegate) issue or they fix it anyone know about it please add a comment
Ben..name some vehicles that you can’t wait to get out of. Be it uncomfortable, too small, dog dookie power…there must certainly be a few
Mine I couldn't wait to get out of was the Honda CRV with the CVT Transmission. Hated it only because of the CVT That Tranny had no clue what to do on snow-covered roads. Very hazardous.
Are there any RAV4 hybrid owners who can comment on cabin noise during highway driving (compared to other vehicles you are familiar with perhaps)?
I'm about to get a brand new one delivered and can get back to you once I have it
@@cyan_2169 Thanks. Much appreciated.
@@cyan_2169 Congrats on the purchase!
Curious as well. Test drove a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid Limited today. Cabin noise on the highway was loud 😬
@@AmitKumar-in7vo Thanks for the input, Amit. I have heard good things about the cabin noise of Tucson hybrid but have not tried myself.
affordable lol? I was quoted $49K OTD on one the other day.
I had a Honda CRV with the CVT transmission. Never again will I buy anything with a CVT transmission in it. I do have a 2021 Rav 4 now due to it has a REAL transmission in it. My Gas model gets 33 to 35 MPG highway. Can't see the benefit of a Hybrid.
I think Toyota is the only company that can do a CVT that is very reliable. Doesn't feel great but it's more for fuel economy
@@UnseenSpirit Probably better than most, but Nope I'll pass and quite honestly I had 3 or 4 CRV's and the one with the CVT gave me 3 to 5 MPG less than a real Transmission. So from personal usage, I don't buy the better mileage hype. I spent 2 months trying to figure out what was wrong with the Honda till the day my wife came in and said what is wrong with this car to which I replied oh so it isn't just me, what did you notice. I had never said anything to her about it before that day. Nope, I'll pass on CVT I sure hope the Rav4 stays with a real transmission. If not I'll keep the one I have. Love the Rav4
@@Pirate19501 fair enough. That experience is enough to out you off. Nissan makes a terrible CVT and even Honda don't make good ones. Toyota with the Hybrid system has been tested by people and is very good. Still not like an auto but it does actually save on fuel and most importantly is reliable.
@@UnseenSpirit I have heard Toyota makes a decent one. But never again for me. I did hear Honda is now using one like Toyota's but nope. The one I had turned me off from it. I'll buy a stick shift before I buy anything with a CVT I'm getting 35MPG on my gas engine sounds like the Hybrid only gives a few more MPG not worth it. I have seen Totota is leaning away from full electric and putting the money into Hydrogen powered wich in my opinion is the future NOT electric,
@@Pirate19501 hi Jim, so am I better off with the gas version of the RAV4 limited than the hybrid limited? I only drive about 10k miles a year. I can’t decide between both of these and most people say the Hybrid drives more smooth/Quicker and the engine is quieter. TIA
I’d go TRX just because it’s better on gas.
LOL
How on earth some idiot auto journalists call crv better than this Rav4 !!
The crv is better. The interior is way nicer in the crv than the rav4 limited. Build quality, fit and finish, materials, and nvh control are better on the Honda and the Honda has a lot more space and a better look as well
@@naveenthemachine says who ??
Seriously what the fu¢k are u smoking ? 😂
Motor trend said that rav4 has better materials than crv !!
Go and read the comparison between 23 rav4 vs 23 crv on motor trend !!!!
Talking about build quality ..! Its a universal fact that no automaker can even come close to the quality of toyotas !!
Plus rav4 has countless more features , better engine , better fuel economy , way too good hybrid system for the same price !!
Rav4 can also tow more !!
Everything in rav4 is a lot better than this joke 23 crv .....!!!
Talking about cargo space ..!! Its nearly identical in both
@@naveenthemachine i've realized they just have retired a lot of interior accesories and features!! i don't see the panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, head up display and stuff like that. COME ON is a limited version, at least give us the panoramic sunroof!!! If this the version that i will receive i'm cancelling the order and changing to Nissan xtrail e power...
@@sergiosalazaraviles4616 All of those features are included on the limited grade advanced technology package. Toyota's website lists it as a $2,540 option
@@matthewalexis Oh great, but i got a problem. I'm not buying in the u.s. I'm buying it in Colombia, and here i can only purchase three hybrid options: XE, XLE or Limited. And i gotta pay 19% more than it's price in the u.s because taxes.
Talks waaaaay too fast. Slow down so we can hear clearly everything you say.
Toyota lane assist is better than honda??? Are you for real??? That is the only reason why I do not want to buy Rav 4 cuz its lane assist is crap
That screen looks annoying and obtrusive 😊
Talk to fast n jibberish, got a head ache
😂not sure why you speak so fast and seems like you are in a rush to go
Somewhere
CRV touring is better value and drives better!
Need to drink more coffee so you could speak quicker...
