Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a used prime SE from CarMax. They didn't know how to use any of the equipment on it. Very happy to have your video to show me! Keep up the good work!
My wife and I purchased our new 2022 RAV 4 Prime SE two days ago. Took our first trip yesterday to Portland Oregon 180 + mile round trip. Went 28 miles just on electricity with just a partially charged battery and the rest on gas. When we returned home the gas mpg (just on gas not including electric miles) was 43.1 mpg when we rolled into our driveway. Pretty impressive for winter driving here in Northwestern Oregon. Our old 2010 Prius could probably have not done much better.
I am so excited! I just bought one of these in the metallic gray. Sold my 2007 silver RAV4 last week …love these cars . Actually was hard to let go of my old one but ready for high tech! This one had plenty options for me and I’m not a huge fan of the sxe’s black roof. Great review!
Cringy dad moments that have surely embarrassed this man's children: 0:54 Heated rear seat dance 1:01 It's raining men 4:19 Unnecessary use of the word "Holla" 5:43 Sing and dance 5:57 Song lyric refference 6:24 Dad Joke followed by another "Holla" 6:45 "Coola" 16:22 Higher and higher 17:37 "Billy goat in a peppa patch"? 19:15 More singing forced upon you 21:42 No gasoline dance
This is GENIUS! I appreciate your level of commitment to index all my cringy moments - in JUST ! VIDEO! You made my day ... I'll keep trying for more thorough information and weird cringy moments to keep people entertained (and cringed)
I bought the prime se 2 months ago and get 50 miles electric on a full charge. Traded a 19 Adventure model for it. Paid regular price with no markup. So far so good
I love your singing and how you made the video fun. I just got my 2021 R4P yesterday. My maiden voyage was so devastating! It was very very cold here, but I park in a garage. I drove for a half hour FREEZING! There is no heat when its in the electric mode only. I still couldn't figure out to use the gas engine only so I could have heat. It literally blew cold air the whole time, which felt like I was using Air Conditioning!
I was finally able to get my hands on one (SE) last month. Love, love, love. Highly recommend, if you can find one that is not 5, 10, or 15 grand over MSRP. The dealer mafia is alive and well. Thanks Jeff for info.
Thank you for the walk around! We just finally got a rav4 prime se (sold obviously) but no one knew any of the special features. I was excited to see this upload thank you!
the prime is awesome per JEFF. FYI... I have been getting 49 to 51 on the EV portion , not bad at all.the last time I filled up was two months ago and I still have more than 7/8 a tank. I have the engine operate once a week since charge the prime only 6 days a week. All I can say, the rav4 prime is fast.
Please explain the "S" with a plus and minus sign just to the left of the gear shift. Shown in your video, but no explanation. Thanks. Hope you can let me know when you do so.
Hi sure I will be happy to. Short answer is that allows you to drive the vehicle almost like a stick shift. Or you can just keep it in D for drive and let the car do everything
Hello Mr. Jeff, can you do a video on how to remove start the prime with the key and app please? Also how to lock and unlock with the app like you did before on your Camry please?
Parking button is just an indicating light to let you know the parking break is engaged. The breaking button is useful when waiting at train crossings, funeral processions, long signal lights, etc.
My favorite version is the SE model but not the US version, I prefer Canadian version SE as there is no moon-roof at all, just clean roof and no openings to worry about in the future when rubber seals wear off and leaks start to ruin your life...
US SE comes with no moonroof. You must upgrade to Weather Package to get moonroof. My SE does not have a moonroof. However, my 2013 Highlander Limited does have a moonroof, and I have not had any issues in the 8+ years I have owned it.
I have a rav 4 adventure. Less horsepower because it doesn’t have the advantage of having an electric motor but better traction features and drives better with sport mode. The hybrid doesn’t have sport mode.
Hi what’s the info on new RAV4’s with battery voltage going down? I got a new RAV4 2021 just last June brand new with just 4 miles on it. Got an alert in the Toyota App that battery voltage is down to 10.2 volts bellow the minimum of 12 volts? Any opinion on this?
Pricing is different for every dealership all over the country. No telling what each dealer will charge. MSRP is the suggested price. Dealers can go lower or higher or stay the same :)
Hi Jeff, does Rav4 prime SE with weather and moonroof package also come with fabric floor mats plus all-weather mats? My car with same package as yours in the video does not come with regular fabric floor mats but only all weather mats. When I asked the dealer, they said Toyota factory only shipped with all weather mats without fabric mat when the car is equipped with all weather and moonroof package. Is that true?
Hi Jeff, love your videos! I just purchased 2021 Rav4 XLE and I'm thinking about installing dash cam front/rear with hardwire to use parking motion mode. Is this against the warranty? Would appreciate your answer! :)
The SE prime cannot do remote start or heat up the car if the high voltage battery is low. As far as the features go, it does not help in cold weather. Do your HW before you buy this car.
Two weeks ago, bought it below MSRP same car as in this video. $400 below. Under normal market, I can negotiate to get it at around $39K. But now car prices are crazy.
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a used prime SE from CarMax. They didn't know how to use any of the equipment on it. Very happy to have your video to show me! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jeff! This has been way more helpful than the 500 page manual
There’s a lot to learn for sure!!
Please don't change. Your crazy and i love it😂
I love you Toyota Jeff. You're my favorite Toyota UA-camr by far!

@@Toyotajeff haha I meant it as an observation and not an insult as they are hilarious. I found the video to be very informative. Keep it up!
Hey Jeff, anything special that needs to be done if you plan to use an drive-thru auto car wash?
I bought the prime se 2 months ago and get 50 miles electric on a full charge. Traded a 19 Adventure model for it. Paid regular price with no markup. So far so good
Do you know of you can install fog lights on Rav 4 Prime Se?

Do you work in a dealership?
So glad I could help you!
The rear seat reminder just works any time you shut down the vehicle it’s just an alarm it doesn’t take in consideration any weight on the back seat😊

I wish they made the premium audio package available in the SE
Rain sensor should be standard on any car above $20K.
Good Info as always. Any news on the 2022 RAV4??
No info. Toyota hasn’t even mentioned release date yet
@@Toyotajeff with chip shortages, I have a hard time getting even a 2021
The eCVT is great really smooth
My wife just got one. Very nice car. Waiting to put in break in miles before really test out acceleration:).
Finally a vehicle I am interested in and their is none to be found unless you are on the left coast
What is the left coast? Oklahoma. That is were I had the choice of two.
Does it have a digital rearview mirror or is that the XSE only?

Had to pay a 10k markup to get my prime today.. there was no negotiating. :( hopefully this car will be worth it.
I hope you love it!
I had to pay $7500 over. I think we get that back as a tax credit.
They are showing up in the Washington DC area as of Jul 2021
Life saver!! Thank you!!
1:22 "but... what you may not know is...." it uses a prop rod to hold the hood open. 😁
Great video. Will the 2022 RAV4 bring TSS 2.5 ?
how about some different trim levels? XLE Premium?
What does PBD stand for?
Found it. It stands for Power Back Door.
What's the purpose of the breaking button and the parking button?
Parking button is just an indicating light to let you know the parking break is engaged. The breaking button is useful when waiting at train crossings, funeral processions, long signal lights, etc.

Hi there. Can you get the XSE version without the panoramic moon roof? I would like to get the XSE without moon roof.
No at least basic moon roof is on all xse
@@sammushroomman4211 Thanks
@@arribasn Thanks
US SE comes with no moonroof. You must upgrade to Weather Package to get moonroof. My SE does not have a moonroof. However, my 2013 Highlander Limited does have a moonroof, and I have not had any issues in the 8+ years I have owned it.
Thanks Jeff, will Toyota come out Sienna Prime? I hope they do :)
the moon roof looks kinda small, can a person fit to go to the top from it ?
Very useful
My XSE R4P always charges to 51 miles of EV, sometimes 52.
My R4P SE does too. I use Charge Point Flex at my house.
@@akiba8978 2 to 2.5 hours if totally out of EV range. Cost me about $.75.
Weird.... only get 42
the remote does it have the A/C button - HVAC ?
6:34 = Michael Scott?
He's so quirky and weird...and yes I've had many people say I remind them of him lol
I have a rav 4 adventure. Less horsepower because it doesn’t have the advantage of having an electric motor but better traction features and drives better with sport mode. The hybrid doesn’t have sport mode.
Does the LED front "fog"accent lights on the RAV4 Prime XSE fit in the SE as a direct plug and play?
Didn't mention that they are very few. Also 2 to 3yrs wait time to get one
Hi what’s the info on new RAV4’s with battery voltage going down? I got a new RAV4 2021 just last June brand new with just 4 miles on it. Got an alert in the Toyota App that battery voltage is down to 10.2 volts bellow the minimum of 12 volts? Any opinion on this?
There is a technical service bulletin that addresses this, see your dealer for a software update
Will the 2022 RAV4 Hybrid AWD have Heads Up Display?
Please tell the viewers how if a dealer has a Rav4 prime it is going to be priced $10,000 over MSRP if you can even find one at all.
Pricing is different for every dealership all over the country. No telling what each dealer will charge. MSRP is the suggested price. Dealers can go lower or higher or stay the same :)
Is there any news on a 2021 Rav4 Adventure? Or is the offroad replacing it?

When I asked the dealer, they said Toyota factory only shipped with all weather mats without fabric mat when the car is equipped with all weather and moonroof package. Is that true?
Mats are always a separate line item. Depending on your region Toyota typically equips with all weather or carpet mats, but only one set, not both
@@arribasn thanks for the reply, appreciate your help
Does the SE come with wireless charger for your cell phone?
Nope
No but you can buy an after market from Amazon that will fit in the same spot.
Hi Jeff, love your videos! I just purchased 2021 Rav4 XLE and I'm thinking about installing dash cam front/rear with hardwire to use parking motion mode. Is this against the warranty? Would appreciate your answer! :)
No. I don't see why it should void the warranty. I had a 2018 Camry and went to Best Buy and had them install a 2 channel dash camera, front and back.
The SE prime cannot do remote start or heat up the car if the high voltage battery is low. As far as the features go, it does not help in cold weather. Do your HW before you buy this car.
Cloth seat in se prime
Has anyone bought one or is buying one at MSRP or less?
Aug 2020 yes $667 below MSRP
July 2021 second Prime $500 over MSRP
@@rncondie I bought on May 16, 2021. MSRP $41,650 with moonroof and all weather (rubber) RAV 4 floormats. In Rhode Island
Two weeks ago, bought it below MSRP same car as in this video. $400 below. Under normal market, I can negotiate to get it at around $39K. But now car prices are crazy.
how much tax benefit you get on Prime?
you forgot the passenger seat controls
I'll do better next time thanks :)
Is the $7500 ev tax credit passed on in a lease to the customer?
Only original OWNER.
Jeff, How many people are lined up around the block to buy this Prime?
My dealer always has R4P vehicles on the lot since May, that I'm aware. Choices limited but usually 2 to 4 SE or XSE.
@@mikegcolvin Lucky you. My area is supposed to get ONE soon. Then in January supposedly they will be available for order.
"... a whole *_mess_* of options..." 😂
HOLA!!!
Screaming Demon
that horn has GOT to go!!! put a tundra's horn in there not a Yaris
$409 for those junk OEM carpet mats???? That's like more than double retail parts counter, how does southeast Toyota dealer's get away with that...
Thank you Covid -19
Can you please stop advertising cars that are literally impossible to get from the dealership?
I have one if you want to buy it. same exact model with extra trims. 50,000 :0)
I have same car in this video, took 3 month after putting in request with dealer
@@arribasn I'm from Nj and this model went for as high as 50,000 and 55,000 for the XSE. Leaves much room for negotiation I'm assuming.
We have them available regularly where I live (Maine). I bought one in May for msrp, had a couple colors to choose from.
@@kreator-ys1yz I paid MSRP in CA, shop around, some dealers will sell without markup
