    Excellent review, I have watched so many videos from all of the popular vloggers and no one explained the two buttons of the auto ev/hybrid and the charge ev/hybrid as simple as you did. My delivery is scheduled in June, same colors with the premium package, can't wait. I don't care that the Rav will be redesigned as I like owning the end of the cycle when all of the bugs have been cleared. I am hoping to get 20-25 years out of it.

      Skip the buttons. Run it in “normal” mode and be happy.

    Excellent review video...We live in Missouri, we looked at the 2024 Toyota prime last year...The dealers had a $5000 Premium, and a two year wait...I made a comment, I may not be alive...Also, the vehicle will be a 2026, and I will not pay a premium over sticker...We purchased a 2024 Lincoln Corsair...I do hope that Toyota understands the market and changes their policies...Again, Excellent video...

    Dealers - stop talking about features and start talking about performance. This car is quick and nimble with instant acceleration. It’s fun to drive in a way that the standard RAV4 is not. Skip the XSE. A decently equipped SE is more than good enough.

      Are we a little bitter because you can't afford the features?

      @@henryhonda8408 Not at all. I love the features of the XSE, and I can afford them many times over. The problem is that the car is made from unobtainium.

    It’s a shame that for Hondas and Toyotas there’s no rear seat folding release from the cargo area in the year 2024 pretty basic

    Will the RAV 4 Prime run on the highway at 60mph in electric mode for 30miles

    • @henryhonda8408
      @henryhonda8408 8 місяців тому +1

      It will, no problem at all. If there's no hills you should get around 45 miles in EV mode.
