@lorenzosorice 3 жыл бұрын

I chose the gasoline 2019 Adventure model for the different trim/styling. A Hybrid XLE, at the time, would have been more expensive than the base Adventure for the features I wanted. I've been averaging 23-25 in the city and 34 on the highway. Typically about 29mpg combined. Vote sent out for Alison!

Jeff...Personally for me (and my lovely wife) we would choose the Limited Hybrid. WITH: Tech & Weather Packages! However, The last couple of years we rented a RAV4 for 10 days each year to take on vacation. Last year we had a 2019 Adventure with JBL and the Weather Package. (Including the Vented Seats) This year we could only get a 2020 XLE Premium. No JBL but it did have the Weather Package. (NO Vented Seats) I wanted to get a Limited Hybrid this year but there were none available. Actually I was lucky to rent any vehicle. Because of Covid they were not renting them. However half of my 10 days was for a recall and Toyota does give out loaners for that. For both years we did get up to 32 mpg overall. We were NOT on the highway all the time either. So having the gas engine is not all that bad. Plus they have a REAL transmission. Seems Toyota worked out the kinks to the 8 speed as well. The XLE Premium ran just fine. FYI: I would have voted for your friend but, I do NOT use Facebook. Sorry....

Cable gate Rav4 issues is still ongoing. They extended warranty for high voltage cable corrosion in 2019-2022 models. But did a minor “fix” and now they are not honoring the extended warranty on 2023+ models. I don’t want to be a guinea pig and be left stranded. While driving dynamics are nice with the added torque and HP in hybrid, it’s gas for me all day everyday. Plus the AWD gas model is an absolute beast in the snow whereas the hybrids rear electric motor is not mechanical and a lot weaker. Keep your car for years to come worry free.

Does the rear motor still run when the battery runs out of charge? In other words, at that point is it still AWD?

@barnaczukor4235 2 жыл бұрын

It has an electric motor for the rear wheel, while the fronts are driven by both electric and internal combustion. When the battery is low, there is no power for the rear wheel drive. The car loses its AWD functionality.

Please include in a future review expected 10 year maintenance costs. I have heard hybrids have extremely long lived brakes. Does not have parts that go on gas engines, I’m curious how the expected repairs on a gas version compares to a possible battery replacement cost on a hybrid. A lot of assumptions? Sure. But food for thought.

@rncondie 3 жыл бұрын

Test drive the gasoline Rav 4 and test drive the hybrid and you will know why the hybrid is outselling the 8 speed gasoline

@burjis24 Жыл бұрын

Hybrid is outselling for more initial torque and lower fuel consumption but hybrid comes with a CVT which is a downside no Fun to drive a CVT...no feel of gear shifts and CVT does not have a very long life

@bostonbeanman6173 Жыл бұрын

Prime or Hybrid = cablegate issue. I don’t like pending problems. I am old school and prefer to not worry about potential problems that could cost a lot. Just got rid of my last car in fear of a random issue that Ford has gone out of their way to hide and cover up. Right now, hybrid cost is more than the base msrp as you can always get a better deal on a non-hybrid (lower than msrp). If you drive a lot especially a longe range commute that often turns into parking lot of cars crab walking into a city, I would not hesitate for a second to get a hybrid or even step up to a plug-in or ev.
