@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 ?
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
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.
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.
