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.

Good size and style
Sensors have issues
Several issues, the biggest being the seat belt sensors all go haywire randomly, so constant dinging sounds. Dealership couldn’t fix it; I had to buy plugs or leave the belts plugged in. Went to a dealership for a second time and they told me it was because of the plugs and were too foolish to understand why I had them. Other issues are with the infotainment system- doesn’t work well unless phone is plugged in and has some connectivity problems.
3 days ago i was at a parking spot with break on and the car lurched forward jumping over the curve and slamming into a cement post in front of a medical building. I did not have my foot on the gas and i was almost at a stop parking. Very scary situation.
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
