2024 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium Review - America's Best Selling SUV and Best Value

Рет қаралды 52,338

Күн бұрын

The 2024 Toyota RAV4 looks to impress once again after a successful year of sales in 2023. A crossover that needs no introductions is quite possibly the best and only crossover worth considering, as it's reliability alone makes it a great pick. Despite the long list of competitors, the RAV4's practicality, available features, and performance is more than enough to capture the hearts of Americans. In this video we'll take a deep dive into the 2024 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium and see how it matches up against the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Subaru Forester.
Huge thank you to AutoFair Toyota in Tewksbury, MA for providing this 2024 RAV4 for this review.

You nailed this review. Just to piggy back on what you said: We looked at other vehicles that had more bells and whistles and performance but overall you can’t beat Toyotas dependability. As someone who owns this car here’s my pros/cons. Pros: Super bright lighting, you’ll see everything at night no matter the weather conditions. Dual climate control. Safety features. Very roomy and spacey for small suv(I’m 6’1). Really easy to drive, almost like it drives itself. Cons: Slight road noise when punching gas. Won’t win any illegal street races.

Here's something that's hardly ever mentioned, the reclining back seats. My 2024 has them and although it's not much of a recline, it does give a few more inches of room.

Toyota is the best and the seats are so comfortable . Very nice SUV so big for its class . Thank you Toyota

I hope the seats are comfortable because when I tried them at the dealership 😢 I didn’t like them. Maybe it takes time to adjust ?

@@juliett22 I know ;( but the leather is even better. But is it worth 6k more ? The SoftTex felt a little synthetic to touch but I guess still better than cloth. I don’t know anymore. I also feel like I’m too old for the Sport model with the big wheels and that’s the one that has SoftTex. I’m in my early 40s

This memo for long term owners only! Traded my 2022 CRV exl awd in for 2024 Rav 4 xle awd. The reason is mainly for the Atkinson cycle which has Direct AND PORT injection. No worries with carbon buildup ever and NO TURBO! Use our 05 accord for around town and Rav now for our 170 mile trips back and forth. If you get rid of a vehicle after 5 years 60 k then buy anything u want. No worries unless u don't mind taking ur UAW brand back to dealer constantly!

Great Review. Technically that's a wrong statement that Toyota uses CVT in hybrid models. It's actually e-CVT which is totally different. Nothing to do with the actual CVT we know of.

An e-CVT is still a CVT. So the statement is still accurate

Is it true Rav4 2024 xle premuim, hybird (not hybrid hybrid) only comes with the black rims? I want chrome color rims. My salesman said stock wheels, black only. Why do I see, chrome color wheels in all these videos. Is he lying?

@gailenrique2804 3 ай бұрын

The hybrids come with black wheels to differentiate from the gas only model. If you like chrome colored wheels, you could go aftermarket, which you could get from like pep boys or an online retailer.

Sorry to hurt your feelings, but this is an XLE Premium. If the XLE badge on the back of this RAV doesn’t convince you, the Limited has ventilated seats which we don’t have on this model because it’s an XLE Premium.

If the XLE badge that was clearly displayed throughout the video didn't convince you it's not a Limited, for 2024 the 10.5 inch touchscreen with the 11 speaker JBL sound system is a $2485 option. Also the Limited comes standard with ventilated seats which the XLE is not equipped with.

When they switch to CVT and hybrid-- they LOSE my interest.. JUNK most of it. The battery will die soon if we have sub zero days -- it kills them- and that's an $8000 repair- IF they still have one available to replace it with- MOST companies won't be stocking batteries. The CVT is crap too... even in toyota.. NO THANKS-- I'll buy a 2012 (V-6 with automatic trans) and have a lot more fun with NO repairs- other than small usual stuff like brake pads, oil changes, etc.. AND can customize it much easier.. and the MPG are good!! The little V-6 will run forever if the oil is changed regularly- and the main high pressure line has been changed. (to metal instead of rubber)..

The eCVT in Rav4 hybrid has nothing to do with the CVTs that everyone hates - it is a completely different design. Also, the battery is warranted for 150k miles/10 years, and is estimated to cost only $4k to replace with OEM at the dealer (aftermarket = cheaper). In short, you literally have no idea what you’re talking about.
