These days, you're buying cars blindly since there isn't many to test drive. This review alone, made me fall in love with this specific model. I know you'll give it to us straight with each review, so I trusted that I was making a good purchase after watching this. After 45+ days of waiting, I finally got my 2022 XSE Hybrid. Guys... this car is AMAZING! worth every dollar. Thank you Raiti's Rides for this amazing review that lead to this amazing purchase.

Wasn't expecting the 2022 RAV4. Thanks for bringing it to us first.

You and Lori are the hardest working couple on YouTube! Thanks for going above and beyond for your subscribers! And yes, I remember when the original RAV4 starting MSRP was like $14, 995! 😂

My wife loves her 2021 RAV4 XSE Hybrid. The MPG claims are real! This is a great in-town vehicle as well as a very comfortable long distance road machine! The Twinkie tray, avocado holder, and In and Out door storage is great in this vehicle. The hybrid technology is second to none. Another solid winner from Toyota!!

I love the detail you go to explaining the interior and exterior i love the snack jokes and Lori's camera fallow through how she smoothly transitions from the door panel to the dash its the little things that make it a good video also plz don't change the way you do your vids they're so entertaining to watch and i know what to expect next like after the door panel comes the dash then the info-tainment then the price its just simply well made and said well done the both of you thanks for what yall do<3

That might be one of the very best car reviews I've seen. Seriously, great job. So much bad video out there...nice to see a pro!

bought me a 2021 rav4 hybrid XLE. Could not have been more happier. Such a gorgeous body! The lunar rock color is beautiful! I contemplated between this, Honda CR-V, Taos and Seltos. Decided to go with a rav4. Thanks so much for the review Joe!

This is a awesome SUV! I’m getting a sweet 48 miles to a gallon combined. Really appreciate passing those gas stations for almost a whole month. NICE!!!

Thanks for the review. I've been out looking - Not many cars on the lots. This RAV4 XSE Hybrid looks like the perfect package.

It’s hard to beat a Toyota. One of my neighbors have two Rav 4’s. Thanks for the great review Joe and nice work Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

As always, great review by Raiti's Rides. I like how Toyota didn't try to do too much with an already excellent vehicle design, keeping the refreshing to a minimum. I currently own a 2018 RAV4 Hybrid in limited trim; it's the best all-around vehicle I've ever leased and owned. The vehicle I'm looking forward to is the upcoming Toyota Corolla Cross in hybrid form. When it arrives, I'm certain that Raiti's Rides will give it the usual excellent and unbiased review.

Perfect timing I was literally just starting to search up hybrid vehicles

[walu]

Excellent review, everything I need to know about rav4 is answered. I'm planning to trade in my escape. Thanks Lori 👍

[Cherry-Munchkin]
