Great review!

I bought 2020 LE hybrid AWD 👍 I’m loving it , my first suv and new Toyota ever owning .

Great mpg, build quality, reliability, right size, safety features. Basically reliability and mpg

We've recently bought a 2020 RAV4, great car. Economical and reliable.

I’m driving CH-R hybrid yellow modista & my husband ordered RAV4 hybrid modista color blue it will deliver nxt month so excited to drive his car praise god sorry guys just happy n excited keep safe everyone 😇😍

I have a 2019 RAV4 adventure great SUV.

Excellent review. Thank you for highlighting how the lower city-MPG of an hybrid like this one is so significant. A comment for impaired seers wearing glasses, is that the focus on a virtual mirror like the one in this car is a problem as you need to refocus from infinity to close in a glance. I also learned in your video that the line drive assist does not replace the driver. It assists while taking into account regular time segments.

I waited 7 months for mine (exact model illustrated here) but it was worth it.

I have a 2020 RAV4 XSE hybrid, great vehicle with great mileage, comfortable and zero issues. I highly recommend it

The body styling has grown on me over the last few months.

Great review!! May get one in 2021 model year. I sure liked the red Rav4 hybrid Limited and for the XSE I really like the white with black roof since you can't get red in the XSE. Hope you do a review on the Rav4 Prime when it comes out.... it's also on my shopping list. (Red with black roof is available on the Prime XSE) :-)

Loved the video Brian. I am Canada bound as a new migrant with my familia. And I am going to buy a brand spanking new Rav4 Hybrid / Prime !!!! :D

I at first was not digging the redesign and bought a used 2018 rav4 in spite of the new redesign .... but it's actually starting to grow on me and I probably should have given it a chance

Great Review, very informative I love the scenic drives that you take us on, I would like to take a scenic drive like that in Canada with my 2021 XSE Hybrid it is such a great car. I really enjoy your reviews and also enjoyed your review on the Prime. Keep up the great work that you do, I'm also a subscriber! and really like the background music!

It looks awesome!! Love hybrids. Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨!

Great video, thank you for sharing it. I bought a 2020 RAV4 hybrid two weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Previously, I had 2002 highlander which I loved and the engine was still running perfectly. Unfortunately, I hit a deer and it cracked the front bumper, headlights and windshield and messed up the alignment. It was almost cheaper to buy a new car than pay for those repairs. I am a huge fan of Toyota’s reliability and wanted to stick with them for my new purchase. As you said, the look of the RAV4 is pretty cool, it’s sporty, it has great contrast, it gets a lot of people’s attention when I’m driving by. The fuel economy is awesome! I commute 60 miles to work each day, and I haven’t had to visit a gas station yet (the dealership topped it off when I purchased it), but keep in mind, I love watching the display of when I’m using gas vs battery and I adjust my driving so I’m nearly all battery each trip. You could seriously take this around running errands without using any gas! But also, when I do need to use power and accelerate, it’s very responsive...I really like how the engine sounds...there have been some bad reviews about how loud the engine is...but I like it. I would definitely recommend this vehicle. But also, it’s only been two weeks...

The hybrid power train is perfect. It’s much smoother then the regular gas engine and the power deliver is also great

A great SUV hybrid for Boston... cool video

I love this car so much. This is my best toyota car so far.

Thank you for the great review. In canada we also missing the Road Sign Assistance RSA in safety sense 2.0. The US vehicles gets it.

Very nice desinge n high quality

Its pretty clear you love your car -amazing review My next car too

Beautiful ❤️

We got our XSE last month to replace our gen. 1 highlander. Fuel economy has been as advertised. It is surprisingly engaging to drive, for what it is. Very satisfied with our purchase. FYI, we were on the wait list for both the prime and the regular hybrid. T did not like that. So we went with the regular hybrid.

This same unit in our garage now next to a 2012 V6 sport RAV. Just a couple of things I would hope for. The wheels are narrow and so are the tires, just 225. The 2012 sport stock wheel width is 235. I know you can get a RAV with 235’s. I think they are 19s. Not a big deal just would look much better with a wider tire and wheel combination. Also, nice two tone look but that chrome strip above the door sills really needs to be blacked out! That will be a change for next spring. That is. A personal bias but I think it would be better matching the rest of the black.

good design !

This car has an eCVT, which is not the same as a CVT with a belt. eCVT actually has gears supplemented with an electric motor to deliver linear power.

I drove one in Northern Norway and the tire pressure light flashed on even though there was no issue. Is there a cold weather package available?

I've been waiting 8 months for my XSE. Ordered October 2019, and hoping it will be delivered next week.

My husband just purchased this literally 2 hrs ago. And we got the paronomic sunroof that sold us !! It was made in Japan . There is a car shortage going on with 2022 n 2021 so we were lucky. Can u tell me how the ac feels if it's powerful . We live in NJ n he to pick it up 4 hrs away in VA so idk how it I'd here he will be here at 1am n I got hot in the summer lop so wanted to know how powerful its is n does it flow to the back easily

I was going to buy this exact same model but in black top white bottom colour but the gas tank issue threw me off. Has a 11 gallon tank and can only fill up to 9. ( correct me if im wrong) and for the price you’re almost in 4runner territory. Got a 4runner limited instead sips more gas but last longer and holds more value

I just both a 2019 RAV4 XLE AWD. The best of the best.

Good job....are you sure the RAV4 hybrid is available in limited trim?....in Ontario?

Weird I got the bag hooks in mine... XSE 2020 Hybrid with tech package.

*Mine is 2020 hybrid pearl white with black top* 👌👍😊

Nice superb SUV

That hybrid is perfect for Toronto’s traffic 😂. Definitely hybrids are very fuel efficient. Combustion engines are more efficient at highway speeds but they are less efficient in the city, hybrids definitely shine in city driving 💪

“Two electric motors powering the rear wheels” actually it has two electric motors in the planetary gear set up front, and one electric motor in the rear differential to power the rear.

Thank you for the review. I'm still deciding on whether to get the 2021 or 2022 model. Hopefully they've fixed the gas tank issue from what I read above.

So for the extra cost, for a average 20;000kms a year driver, what's the annual gas cost saving ?

41mph is for the gaz version. My hybrid xse csn reach a 51mpg ratio. Truly impressive

Awesome

Thank you

By far the best review on the internet! Excellent camerawork, every detail of the car is very well made visable. I own this car and I underscribe everything you say about the car. I had to get used to hybrid driving though. Specially that CVT needs getting used to but if you drive the car the way Toyota designed and meant it to be, it won’t disappoint you, quite on the contrary. So potential buyers that own a non hybrid car need to test drive a hybrid RAV4 extensively to get used to the car’s behaviour, even longer than you would take a non-hybrid for a test drive. I must admit, this car was not on my short list at all. I was made curious about the pulling power the AWD hybrid version has, the first that could tow my heavy camping trailer. It remains to be seen how it performs when this brick on wheels is hooked up, it that sense it is kinda gamble but at least on paper it should do this well. I will report here how well (or bad) it did. Might take a while though due to the Corona outbreak. Kind regards, Willem, Hekelingen, The Netherlands.

My understanding is that it does not have CVT. The electric motors coupled with planetary gear drives the RAV4 hybrid under 80km/h and direct drive from the engine above 80km/h.

This vehicle is simply a must have, price- quality unbeatable, the only thing Toyota fell short was insulation, noise gets inside to easily

Definitely the best looking Toyota there is!

8:20 front looks so so gorgeous.

No front camera ?

It does look soooooo soooo out of ordinary

My friend has one of these and says that she found a way to get around the gas tank issue. I have to get the details, but she was able to add another 2 gallons after the pump indicated that it was done.

The 2019/2020 Hybrid RAV4 has 219 horsepower compared to only 203 for the gas models. I think you got that mixed up :)

WOOP, Go Rav

I bought mine in Texas and it didn't come with a panoramic sunroof........was anyone able to get one with a panoramic sunroof?

8:17 strongly agree with that. It is weird that the RAV4 in Canada do not have panoramic sunroof and I love RAV4 so much. But no panoramic sunroof let me down so much and it is the reason why I still considering that should I buy it or not. If the sunroof is panoramic, I’ll say it is perfect.

I have got this exactly Rav4 spec on order 😁. It will arrive around december as a 2022 model year. I am very exited for it 😎.

Might need to annotate the bit about 2 motor powering the “rear” wheels when you meant front wheels

My 2019 XSE has no AWD or XSE badges and doesn't have the JBL audio system. I know it's the XSE because of the black roof, black seats and the Monroney sticker on the window before purchasing it had the description: RAV4 HV XSE L4 CVT AWD-I.

Recommend it

which more better toyota rav4 or toyota harrier..

Honda hybrid CRV or This Toyota Hybrid Rav4 ,torn between 2 lovers both i like

Best of both worlds. You get a massive SUV, and you get great hybrid fuel economy. Win-Win.

I heard there is a problem with the fuel tank on the hybrid RAV4. I can't be fill up o full. Can you confirm?

I bought the 2020 XSE after all the good reviews and liking what I saw in person. After buying I noticed I’m not able to fill up the 14 gallon fuel tank. Even when it’s completely empty I can only pump about 9.5 gallons. This results in about 400 mile range instead of 500. After a little more research I found that the fuel tank issue is common on the 2019 and 2020 hybrids but no one mentions this in their reviews or at the dealer for some reason. Toyota has done nothing so far to address the issue. They will offer to replace the fuel tank but it’s the same tank so the issue will remain.

I've got this exact model, it's been great so far. Infotainment is seriously bad, lane keep isn't reliable but everything else has been fantastic. Coming from a basic 2016 Prius this has been a great upgrade for our family.

I heard the rav doesn't fill up to full..something to do with the design of the gas tank..

I worked at Toyota dealership up until the COVID, this is the only RAV4 I would buy however there is a 3k-5k mark up here in LA

I want that

How is the noise level in this suv at 120-140 kmh?

My understanding is that the Hybrid version does not have a CVT transmission.

Toyota’s are the best and most reliable vehicles and then comes Mitsubishi.

In Europe we do not have: 1. Panoramic roof 2. Android Auto and Apple Carplay 3. Wireless charging 4. Digital mirror 5. Navigation (there is a 'Map' button, but it does nothing) And I've paid for mine, Style trim - an analog of XSE trim (2-color) - around 44k But the car is great! The only improvement I'd ask for is better AWD.

I have 2019 rav4 hybrid xse. Same color. I have gas tank issue and recall because of the engine

You guys have a panoramic roof in the CRV and we don’t. So I guess we are even. Lol

16:45 I had to wait 2 months.

It blows my mind that the steering wheels heating is only partial.

Considering on downgrading from current car Infiniti Q60 to this Rav4. Might need something more practical and easier to daily drive. Sucks they don't make a 6 cylinder version.

How come my driving range is only 380 miles per fill up

That’s a Rav4? 🤩

What is the towing weight capacity?

Can’t wait for the RAV4 Prime, you can say my RAV4 is faster than a Porsche - Macan 2.0T 🤣🤣🤣

And yet I work at Toyota in sales and their still some customers that wants to go see other brands !! Cause their shopping not finished yet some are saying loll Why ?!! Lol This is it!! This is what you want and this is the best product out there theres nothing else to say just sign the papers already and stop wasting YOUR time and money :)

I'm more interested in knowing the make and model of those sunglasses LOL

In US there are law where you suppose not to hold the 12 position and the 6 position on the wheel

Did Toyota fix that gas tank issue???? Talk to me when it’s fixed...

My 22 should be here soon

Toyota still missing the interior dash board style it looks very boxy they can do better stylish designing in side too but I don't know why they are not interested

Same MPG as the Prius V ??? That's insane!

The rav4 needs a v6 and oh boy it’ll be perfect

goodlooking+ good mileage, all the rest aren't that important

I wish i could afford it but I don't even have a garage big enough to fit it in. Damn I'm poor.

Why does it seem EVERY reviewer not mention whether or not the Rav 4 have a spare tire? I have watch a lot of reviews and it is always "This is the cargo space." but they NEVER lift mat to show what is underneath. It is very important to have a spare or at least a space-saver tire... a stupid little can of "Fix a Flat" is a deal breaker.

A eCVT is not a CVT. If you’re not going to elaborate on it at least use the correct designation.
