Positive Review
It’s a Toyota so it will last a long time with minimal problems. The car itself is comfortable and looks nice. The only downside is that the vehicle sounds at all times like multiple pieces are loose on the interior… there are rattles in the cabin from every direction that cannot seem to be found or fixed. If noises bother you, this one will definitely be a deal breaker.

Critical Review
We bought this beautiful 2021 Hybrid Limited Rav4. The next day... it didn't start! Called Roadside assistance, they jumped it, we took it to the dealership, they didn't find a problem. Two days later, the car didn't start, called roadside assistance, they jumped the car. Next day, the car didn't start, called roadside assistance and got it towed to the dealership. Within a week, we called roadside assistance 3 times. Needless to say, it is a beautiful car, but something is draining the battery. It is NOT a reliable car, please don't be fooled and lured into buying it. You don't want to be in our position right now, so that is why I am writing this. It is a horrible feeling to be stuck and stranded, even the keyfob wasn't working. No, it is not us forgetting to the shut the door, or keeping a light on. All the lights, radio, defroster everything is turned off before we shut the car off, but it is as if the car isn't shutting off? We started videoing and recording this too as evidence. Toyota needs to read these reviews and take them seriously before consumers take actions towards them. They need to check the customers who have called for roadside assistance in the last few months and see the evidence there too and take action and do right by their customers versus waiting for them to take action first.

Excellent JBL sound system. Makes it's a joy to drive and crank up the volume.
Even though my suv has low mileage and is inside a garage, the black plastic molding is fading. It's an easy fix.
Love this SUV. It's looks so elegant in black and sliver wheels. Tan color interior brings it to over the top elegance. I have never had any issues with it. She is my baby. 2019 and 32k miles.
Can’t ask for better performance and mpg than this. Comfort is good for average sized people. Options are well suited and affordable.
I purchased it in 2023. First few months it was running good. From last 1.5 years, some cracking sounds coming from drivers side rear . When I complained about it to the service centers, they don’t detect anything wrong. Specially when I am driving it above 50 miles per hour speed, I hear such sounds. People sitting back rows scared due to this sound. My Toyota Corolla is better than this RAV4.
Great smaller SUV. Toyota reliability. I have a Premium Rav4 - 2021. Sun roof, leather....pretty. love it!
I have never had to take this vehicle in for more than regular routine maintenance. 125K miles and 5.5 years of harsh driving conditions (it started in South Dakota and went through 2 winters and then moved to the Mojave dessert of California where I was driving 3+ hours a day in 100 degree weather for 2 years). It's also a very comfortable drive. I love my Rav.
I bought it new on Oct. 2023 I have never had issues even after an accident in the front left fender on Jan. 2024
I have a 2021 Prime. The cabin, seat heaters and heated wheel barely work, no exaggeration whatsoever. The dealer tells me all is working to specs.. In electric mode it actually does not heat the cabin on a cold day (20 degrees or less). The numbers on the climate control are a not even a suggestion, more like a rumor, as far as the HVAC is concerned. There are buttons on the lower left of the dash you cannot see without being a contortionist (while driving) There are a ridiculous amount of warning beeps that are overly strident and often completely unnecessary. Simply backing out of my driveway in winter gets me warning beeps for ice, warning beeps for the house next to the car being too close for the computers comfort, warning beeps for cars passing by on a street near my driveway, and a loud annoying "angel choir" warning when in reverse. All of this is a distraction form safety not an enhancement of it. Once on a busy street it would not let me (emergency braking came on) back up far enough to look for crossing traffic because it detected cars passing by ON OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET! The sunroof will not let you deploy the sunshade incrementally it insists on being open fully or not at all. There are buttons on the ceiling for things but they are impossible to read so you have to try to memorize their location and function (good luck at night) I found a bunch of rubber body/frame plugs in the trunk which should have covered holes in the frame and body which had not been installed, now salt and moisture have gotten into parts where they should not. Not sure if this is a dealer or Toyota responsibility. The gas door has not detent to hold it open and will flap around in a breeze while you are trying to fuel up. I am very disappointed in Toyota for this phoned in mess of the driver interface/control systems. I could have bought a cheaper brand if I was willing to live with problems like these.
I’m not at all thrilled with my new Rav-4 XLE. Very slow to respond. I absolutely HATE the feature that turns the car off at any stop, then starts it up when light is green/go. Yes you can turn it off each time you stop… that is super annoying! Also this RAV4-XLE IS SO SLOW … No get up and go! Comfort … not so much. All in all… way over priced! Not such a good deal at all. Disappointing!
