I know I’m getting older when I’m excited about the next gen Rav 4

[robertrousseaux]

We bought the first year Rav Hybrid. My wife’s daily driver and our long trip choice . Absolutely rock solid .

[cwilliams]

I build the Rav 4 here in Cambridge Ontario. We are currently building out the 2024 models and getting ready for all new model for 2025. Yes it will be all hybrid for the next generation.

Eliminate the noise in the cabin. Engine refinements, Include TSS 3, include heads up display, , latest infotainment, make digital cluster standard, add ventilated....and some additional colors. That's all they need to do.

Kirk, we own two Rav 4 Primes. Best automobiles we have ever owned.

I know someone who owns the first gen RAV hybrid and has well over 150k miles and it’s absolutely flawless(except for the sunroof leak). Can’t wait for it to get the Camrys treatment. It can definitely benefit from it. Especially the LE and XLE trims. And hopefully they kill off the XLE “premium” trim and give those features to the regular XLE and give the LE the features of the XLE.

I really want an updated RAV4 prime. One dealership near me had the 2024 and I went in to get it. They were asking $7k over sticker. I told the manager shove it in his a** and was about to leave . They already had another buyer waiting to see if I reject it or take the deal as he came in after I did.

After I rejected the deal that customer signed on the $7k over right away.. smh. Some people are crazy. Will wait till the 25’s are out

The current Rav4 was a revolutionary change from the previous model
This will be an evolutionary change, just like the Camry
This is typical Toyota. Every 5 years, do an evolution on the theme.
Every 10 years, makes a revolutionary change.

Honestly, if I was in that meeting, I would tell everybody they need to double down on the RAV4 off-road looks in equipment. Of course make it a hybrid, but that rear drive electric unit make it have a lockable rear differential increase ground clearance and giveit full A-trac. The more outdoorsy you can make it the better it’s going to be people will eat it up.

I own a 2019 Rav4 it was the revamped model when i purchased it and man what a vehicle ive rammed 70K miles into it

[illuminaughty]

I'm glad you're using the old school term Platform instead of the confusing term architecture when describing shared platforms across product lines

[winstonarmstead]

I vote for a RAV4 PRIME. I just hope the new model will look better than the current model. Mostly concerned with the front grill and headlights. If those things are improved on, I will be good.

Very informative, as always. Please let us know what you hear about the Lexus NX 350 hybrid. I'm trying to decide if I should buy a 2025 or wait to see if there are significant upgrades in 2026.

[RavageEject]

We loved our 2019 RAV-4 XLE, we needed something a bit bigger so we got the Grand Highlander Limited which reminds us of a BIG RAV-4, we call it RAV-4+

[ToyotaLife]

The Rav-4 is awesome and it looks great

Thank you, Kirk, for the updated info. I have recently test driven 2025 Lexus NX 350H, 2024 Lexus RX 350, and 2024 RAV4 Prime. This what I found out: the RAV4 Prime beats both NX350H and RX350! NX350H is rather tight and uncomfortable, and the cabin is noisy; while the RX350 is quiet and comfortable but acceleration is sluggish. In contrast, the RAV4 Prime is as quiet and comfortable as RX350 but has much faster acceleration, and it is $10K cheaper than RX350 (Premium Plus). Better yet, the local Toyota dealers were eager to sell their RAV4 Prime without any mark up or offered to allocate a car with the color I preferred. One dealer even offered a small discount over MSRP! What a difference of situation compared to one or two years ago when dealers had $10k mark up! Without the $7500 tax credit, the RAV4 Prime is too expensive and no longer a hot sale car. Another thing I don't like for the current RAV4 Prime is its aged infortaiment system (the display is small - 8.0 inch for SE and 10.5 inch for XSE). Therefore, I have decided to wait for another year for the redesigned RAV4 Prime. I really hope that the new RAV4 Prime has better and large (12 or 14 inch) infortaiment system, TSS3.0 or above, longer EV range, and genuine leather seats. Most importantly, bring back the $7500 tax credit so that it is more affordable!

I had my Rav4 for 15 years, that car has taken me in some of roughest winters in Canada. I want the new one for 2025

[MylifeislegendaryVDVUL]

Upcoming RAV4 should go full hybrid/PHEV and very much going to be a evolution just like their did with the Camry. Anyway current RAV4 is a excellent suv and only the CX50/CX50 HYBRID is better 👑🤴

[jimthumerzs]

Like most Toyota vehicles, I'd like to see them make the interior nicer, and quieter. Also, eliminate that weird Toyota trait of limited opening degree of the rear doors.

[cpftank]

Just imagine if they made a small truck based off the RAV4….it would sell like hot cakes!!!!
