This Is What 4 Years Does To A Toyota RAV4 Hybrid!

We all know and love the Toyota RAV4 hybrid, but what would the hybrid SUV look like and feel like after a while of use?

What will the wear and tear be to the vehicle and how will it age? How will the hybrid system drive and feel on a Toyota RAV4 hybrid after 4 years?

In this video, I answer and go over a lot of the questions, I even show you some general wear and tear on the RAV4 hybrid and how they hold up.

I think you will be very pleased.

Thanks for watching!

Toyota is the Best car on the market bar none. This shows why it's the leader of all car companies. Great Quality, Great Safety, Excellent Hybrid! I love my 2020 Camry SE Huybrid.

As a hybrid owner I can say this video does not address the main concern about hybrid vehicles, which is the state of the battery over time. To me it doesn't matter how pristine the vehicle looks, I want to know about the performance more than anything else .

I’ve a Prius 2019 purchased on march 2020 and it has now 133k kms and runs like new. I’m planning to keep it.

I have a 2023 Rav4 limited loaded it's a great vehicle I get 51 to 53 miles per gallon in the summer and around 47 in the winter. Hybrid is the only way to go stay away from all electric.

I have a 2020. RAV 4 Hybrid. Still looks like new after 46 thou kilm. Very satisfied. My forever car. Added side door protectors and side running boards. (Steps)

I have a 2021 Limited Hybrid with 105, 000 miles. Same pearl white color. Serviced every 5, 000 miles at dealership. Actual calculated 44 mpg overall. June 9, 2024 will be 3 years owned.

2009 Corolla first motor 400, 000 miles. ONLY blew a head gasket. Decided to get a used motor instead of costly HG repair. Miles now? 564, 000 and going strong. Oh, I replaced a noisy Transmission at 520, 000 miles. I just bought a '23 Tacoma 4 x 4.

Can we see an image of the MGR connection?

I once owned a Civic Hybrid. After 5 years, the engine was still running like brand new - although I had to replace the battery as it wasn't holding up its charge anymore. The point is that the battery was dynamically consistent in augmenting the engine from severe stress, which is the main factor that wears the engine down over time.

Show us the condition of the orange MGR cable underneath the car!

I have a 2021 XLE Rav4 Hybrid with 47K and it's held up well. A few minor road chips. no squaks or rattle. Gas milage is still great at 40mpg. I have it serviced regulary at my local dealer. The only problem I have is the cloth seat. I wish I had the softex seats. The color is the Ruby Pearl Red Meatalic. I aslo owned a 2018 Rav4 XLE non-hybrid, that was a amazing ride. Thank you for this video. I'm in the US but I enjoy your infomative videos,

16k km s on my 2024 Rav 4 Woodland HEV trim
45-52 🇨🇦 mpg. Best midsize SUV I’ve ever owned. Zero 🚩. Absolute Great value !

[codysantor]

I have a 2024 XSE Rav4 Hybrid and love it! Agree with you! LOVE the backup sound! Sounds sci-fi ish!!!

Was the hybrid cable replaced? My 2020 RAV4H had the corroded cable replaced at 60k km’s.

[igortokarev]

Just couple cents. It's 2020, so it might be close to the end of life of high voltage cable ( at least it should be covered by warranty). Another problem is more serious - it might have a problem with roof rail leak which can cause serious problems. Stains on top of the doors might be a traces of water leak.
Personally I would avoid years before 2022 because of possible water damage and old design of high voltage cable.
I have 2022 and it has problem with rail water leak fixed, but high voltage cable still has a problem with corrosion (even it's a newer design, but warranty for it was extended to 8Y/160K )

The first thing you need to do in such harsh environment is to anti rust treat the car. I am living in Norway, every 2 years I treated my RAV4 2012 with anti rust (Fluid film) and still no rust shown and its running like a clock.

[JorisSteurs]

This one is in Canada? Be prepared to have your high voltage cable replaced in the near future, expensive job if it is not done under warranty.

[SwordsCutEmDown]

What about the "cable gate" orange wire and connector--how's that Canadian road salt corrosion going?

[jeeotucnbwe]

can vouch, my 2020 LE Hybrid is the same (little better interior, but tiny hail damage on hood/roof), great car

I have a Venza with 85K miles on it. My only complaint is the tires don't last long on hybrids--lightweight without guts. Getting 41.5 mpg, and the vehicle has never been in the shop for any reason. My previous Camry Hybrid got 50.5 mpg, and it never saw the shop in 80K miles. Toyota engineers are genius', and they have perfected hybrid vehicles. Just the HVAC system is a work of art alone.
