Thanks Ben for your tour and review of the RAV4. Where was this filmed in?

[josezatarain]

I like how you demonstrate a d explain everything. Simple and quick. Keep at it.

Slow down, annunciate your words. Lol your opening didn't even sound like English. Hahaha good video though

[Kunani]

My neighbors have this exact model and color. It’s my favorite 🥰

203 HP and 184 lb-ft of torque for Toyota's 2.5-L Dynamic 4-cylinder engine is definitely better than the older 2.5-L Variable Valve Timing 4-cylinder engine that only made 176 HP and 172 lb-ft of torque. Definitely much improvement needed. It still isn't fast, but definitely good enough. I always drive in eco mode, so the throttle response and acceleration is very conservative, but I want the best gas mileage. I like this new generation of the RAV4, and the 2021 RAV4 I own now is much better than the previous generation 2017 RAV4 I owned. I still love both vehicles though.

Still a No. #1 reliable SUV for me to buy Ben.

I believe the TRD has torque vectoring also, which XLE premium does not.

Put the speed playback down to 0.75 to hear him speaking like a normal person and actually understand what he's saying.
Came here because I just got word that mine is showing up this week, and wanted to have a refresher.

I picked mine up yesterday! Ruby red. Rides beautifully

[swineplex]

Speaking way to fast. Slow diwn so we can understand you.

[SlightReturn]

I like these okay but unless you get a base model you have to have a sunroof. And whether you get the regular or pano roof, it's just too little headroom. Slicktop gets you about 2" more headroom but, if you want it that way, no frills for you!!!

I am glad I watched this video..That color grey metallic paint really shows a lot of dirt and dust. I am changing up to Lunar Rock or White now on my new purchase.

[SamMartinez]

Thanks for the review. Very complete. Hey just some feedback - slow down just a bit. If you are on a hard stop for your video length, remove some of your content. Covering everything but at 100MPH makes it very hard to follow and understand.

[gokuvegeta]

For such an expensive vehicle the console just sucks

[drizzyd]

So this Trim is equivalent to a Subaru Forester Limited trim? And a RAV4 limited would be equivalent to a Touring trim then?

2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium All Wheel Drive AWD!

[b.k.ontheair]

Speed talking isn’t always good. Nicely done video, but slow down a bit.😃

[kathysmith]

Are the front seats comfortable? You speak really fast.

[thebestphysician]

I will just answer the question, if you wont take the TRD, prime or woodland. Get the xle AWD hybrid. (Non leather seats) saves 3grand. Im in love with my XLE 😂😅

Toyota's version of an Escape, I've heard... It may not be a rocket ship, but 200HP is actually really good for a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder. This seems like a decent vehicle... It'll fit someone like a glove. I still think they should try stuffing small V6s in these smaller vehicles though (just mo).
