Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars like this 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. This particular RAV4 Hybrid XSE trim is from KBB’s long-term test fleet. You can follow our adventures with it here: www.kbb.com/articles/reviews/...
Here’s our test car’s information explosion.
Information Explosion
2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE
Multi-electric motor assist (118 hp, 149 lb-ft)
Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Pack
Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission
On-Demand All-Wheel Drive
2.5L Inline-4
219 Total System Horsepower
(41city / 38hwy)
During our family review of the 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid we examine a range of practical details; passenger space, cargo space, child seat accommodations, safety, infotainment, the efficiency and performance of the hybrid motor and engine, overall refinement, and price. We expected the 2020 RAV4 to be efficient but we didn’t expect it to be fast and sporty. Does the idea of a speedy yet practical hybrid SUV make sense? Watch and see. #MicahDrives

I have always enjoyed your work over on the KBB channel, to which I am also subscribed, but I did not know about your here on this channel, and it was just great--well done to you, Evie and your lovely daughter. Such a fun but still informative review, and the energy you two have together is off the charts positive. I look forward to more. The RAV4 Prime is a car I am considering but it just depends if the numbers crunch -- despite their gas tank issues, the dealers where I live (Scottsdale/Phoenix) usually sell every one they can get before they can get off the truck. I am also considering a Subaru Forester or Outback, as I love to kayak, canoe, hike and fish. I am a year out yet so I hope you can review a RAV4 Prime, also. Great work!!!

Thanks for the rav 4 hybrid video. I find its really helpful when you bring your family along to get the full typical daily driving experience. Quick question wondering if you are planning test driving the honda crv hybrid, the 2020 subaru forester, audi q5 2020, and or the mercedes glc 2020 anytime soon? On a side note do you thing it makes more since to buy a vehicle that gets great gas mileage and has pretty low maintenance costs or investing in an hybrid?

@MicahMuzio 4 жыл бұрын

Angela Reddick We would love to review all of those vehicles. It just depends on access. Hopefully we can knock out videos with them in the coming months. As for whether or not to invest in a hybrid, it really depends on your driving habits. If you drive a ton of miles mostly in the city, a well-priced hybrid might make financial sense.

Much more car for a few thousand less, plus plenty of them on the lot!

I didn't have any knee issues but different cars fit differently people...differently. That's why it's so wise to take a thorough test drive. Regarding power delivery. Again, it can be a perception issue. The same behavior can read as abrupt or powerful. From my perspective though, I thought the RAV4's power delivery was just fine.

Any advice on where to get advice for car buying as a 6'9" guy? Thanks

@franman9731 4 жыл бұрын

First bit of advice.Don't even bother looking at getting one of these things.The roofline is so low your head will probably be hitting. I'm 6'1 and it was not comfortable at all. The vehicle just really feels closed in and tight. Check the specs. It's passenger volume is one of the smallest in the compact SUV segment. I was really amped up and excited when these were released over a year ago. With all the hype and crazy sales figures, I thought this was going to be my next vehicle. That was until I actually made it to my local dealer and checked one out in person. It was really a bummer and a letdown. Not to mention none of the trims come with a power passenger seat and the interior window controls,sunroof, locks, etc.. are not illuminated. The seats are fake leather (soft tex?)For a vehicle pushing in the high $30's, low $40k range, that is unacceptable. Toyota really cheaped out on things like that. Check out the competitors like Honda, Hyundai, and Subaru. I think you will find something more comfortable, along with a better value to boot.

Test drove one of these and at highway speeds the hood was moving noticeably. 38 grand is too much for a RAV4. Bought a 2020 sonata limited instead. Completely loaded for 34k

As always, great detailed review. But no power passenger seat on an almost $40,000 car?! Plus the interior looks a little cheap too.

Yeah. Don't forget that the window\door lock controls are not illuminated either. I mean come on, a POS Chevy Cruze has illuminated buttons throughout the entire car! I think I will wait for the CRV Hybrid to come out. The CRV may not look as nice and has a similar bland interior, but at least you will not feel like your head will smack into the roof at any second. The RAV4 roof line is way too low and you get that cramped, boxed-in feeling just sitting in the car(front or rear seats).

Drove one. Loved it. But seriously Toyota’s pricing was insane. Even if you buy a fairly high end version there are a ridiculous number of packages you want to buy. It’s like specing a BMW! By the time I was done I was in the mid 30s and the lease rates were some of the worst I’d seen. Not even close to competitive.

ZCT808 it’s actually about the exact same pricing as Honda and Mazda

@ZCT808 4 жыл бұрын

@@bradyb9929 No, not even close. Loaded Mazda CX-5 is $38K. Loaded Honda is $36K. The Rav4 loaded is $40K. But it isn't just the price disparity. When I leased my CX-5, loaded top of the line, I compared it to an identically priced CR-V at a dealership next door to the Mazda dealer. Price point was the same at the time, yet the Honda was $100 a month more. Not only is the Rav4 generally more expensive, it overly complicates things with an unnecessary number of 'packages' on top of the already excessive number of models. And at least at the dealer I test drove one at last week, their lease rates were horrible. Even on a mid range one with a few extras. So having literally just priced one, and shopping for a CX-5 replacement, I stand by my assertion that they have overly complicated the lineup, and it doesn't seem to lease competitively. But it is an excellent car. Just more than I am willing to spend on what is for me a secondary car I rarely use.

Agree..... if the Rav4 Prime can go 42 miles on electric then a Corolla PHEV would probably get 70 or 80 miles on electric.

@wess7831 4 жыл бұрын

FD Derek I agree. I think they are way overpriced. I ended up with a limited. I was hoping to buy the xle. So I guess I say it’s overpriced but then I got one anyways. I targeted 8-9% off msrp and if I had it to do over again I would have waited. Between the gas tank issue which I read about before hand and now the possible block issue I should have waited till spring to find out more.

@@wess7831 Don't feel too bad. The Limited is still the nicest CUV out on the road in terms of looks and bells/whistles. I've heard about the tank issue as well. Road noise is my biggest pet peeve so glad to hear your thoughts. Will push off a purchase for a while longer. Cheers!

Re leaving things out: How long and wide is the cargo space with 2nd row down and how many watts in the 110v outlet? These are the two most important questions for those who might want to boondock in their hybrid or electric vehicle, but I NEVER hear these two questions answered. Also, cubic feet is a useless metric for most viewers - when do we ever refer to cubic feet about anything? Can I lie down in the back is more meaningful. Otherwise, great approach and demeanor overall!

Too bad you can't fill the full tank and get the range Toyota is advertising. Google fuel issues Rav 4 2019/2020 or more info. Toyota has really dropped the ball on this one, and they continue to sell this vehicle to unsuspecting customers. Only people living where there are lemon laws, Toyota has started to buy back the vehicles.

@henryhonda8408 4 жыл бұрын

I haven't bought one yet BUT I will be buying one. This issue is way overblown..... the MPG you get doesn't matter at all with how much fuel you can pump into the gas tank. If you get 400 miles on a tank and you put in 10 gallons..... well guess what.... that equals 40mpg. What is the problem or are you just too lazy to stop for fuel once a week or so.
