Hybrids are for people who like to cruise! I loved this video none of that crazy slamming the engine crap you see people do. Fairly quiet ride.

[kalengkong]

love the sound of turning signal.
and love it when you didnt slam the gas, this is exactly how i drive too. the Hybrid is super quiet when you drive 'normal'

Pre-ordering an XLE Hybrid on Thursday and this is the closest I'm getting to a test drive until it arrives. Thank you!

I'm getting mine (hopefully) next week! Same trim. Watching this drive and how quiet everything is, while my current car's splash plate makes so much racket, makes me extremely excited. It looks like such a smooth ride!

Thank you. I appreciated that you mostly drove with moderate acceleration in electric mode, rather than focusing on showing what the petrol engine sounds like when you put your foot to the floor. You understand how a hybrid is meant to be driven, and gave as much demonstration of the sound of the petrol engine and of the acceleration as was nessecary.
One suggestion; if you can put a speedometer readout on the video, it would be helpful to be able to see your speed.
I'm in New Zealand, and ordered a GXL hybrid a month ago - the trim names are different here; GXL is mid spec, one down from the Limited. Personally, I prefer to not have leather, a moonroof, or a lift tailgate.
The estimated wait time is 6 months, which is frustrating, but for my requirements and preference, it's (almost) perfect, and none of the alternatives come even close - and I plan on keeping it for a long time, so worth waiting for. 👍

Love how you reviewed a middle trim which is like the most rare trim people review.

Thanks man, really cool video. I hope this will be my next car.

es idea mia o se escucha el pavimento en carretera, parece que no tiene muy buena asilación se escucha hasta cuando pasan los vehiclos en sentido contrario, que puedes decir al aislamiento

Can you do a road test for the 2022 Tav4 hybrid limited? Is it smoother than the 2021 Highlander?

[traolin]

6:15 this exit needs a redesign. Cutting it real close when getting out

19:25 oof, that wind noise during the acceleration parts. Was the mic on your camera just super sensitive or are you driving with a window open?

[steved]

Which dashcam do you have on the RAV4?

[timbarden]

Awesome video. Did you have a window or moonroof open while driving? Sounds like there's a lot of wind noise. How quiet is the cabin? Thanks again!

[tomtalker]

Nice SUV. However, i do not care for the loud THUNK every time you are at a stop. And then hit the pedal. I'm sure it's the battery or engine engaging. But i wish Toyota would find a way too quiet that one issue. Otherwise pretty good review of a hybrid.

[minxypink]

the noise is not that sure what everyone is complaining about - just turn on the radio :)

[romeolopez]

No power lift gate without using button, no panoramic sunroof, no wireless for apple/android…no ventilated front seats…no leather seats…with its price it should be included…please correct me if I’m wrong…thanks

[sunitjoshi]

I like the black color…guess that’s what it is.

[MideaMusic]

Love everything about this cars except of that panel behind the mirror. Really don't like it as not only it doesn't look good, but also personally for me it is a distraction and is obscuring the view. Wouldn't want to see anything in front of me, but the mirror.
Also, don't like the fact the the mirror is so low, as it feels right in the face.

[SamTheodore]

I got the point after a few minutes; the video is unnecessarily long. Great car, probably little excitement driving it as everything is so under button-down control. To sum up: a car I need to own.

you should talk and add your comments in to the video.
