2017 Toyota RAV4 consumer reviews

We have found the mileage to be significantly better than the EPA stated 22/29. We see 25/32. We are not aggressive drivers. The limited trim is really nice, and we love the 8-way adjustable drivers seat. First gear is geared for a brisk start if needed. Plenty of pep. Love the included safety features.

This is my third Rav 4 and my 7th Toyota. The reliability is absolutely great. My car is the right size for me and my lifestyle. The extra cargo room is just what I need

This SUV meets all of our needs and has exceeded our expectations. It rides smoothly, has all of the safety features to give us confidence, with power and good gas mileage!

Spent a lot of time researching and test-driving all different makes and models. So thrilled with my decision. My RAV4 has everything I wanted in a vehicle, for a great price. It has ample room, handles well and is a pleasure to drive.

This is an excellent vehicle. I came from a 2016 CR-V EX to the RAV4 XLE. The RAV has a somewhat better and quieter ride. It's still a small SUV but it is noticeable that it improves on both marks. It has far more safety features than the CR-V although Honda has now put them all into all models. There are a few issues that make it a 4.5 not a 5. The forward most cup holder is only good for shorter beverage containers or other stuff you may want handy. The automatic climate control A/C is slow to turn on. Even though it's still set from the last time the car was driven it takes 8-9 seconds before air begins flowing from the vents. That may not seem like much but on a south Texas 98 degree day with 72% humidity it is a very long time. The rear seat head restraints block too much of the view out the back window. Even with them pivoted forward as much as they will pivot and the rear seat backs reclined as much as they will recline they still impose a fair amount on rearward visibility. Lastly, the sound system, even with the fancy JBL upgrade, is mediocre. With the fader set one step up from 100% rear speakers you still only hear the front speakers. If you adjust it any more, the one last step available, then the fronts are turned off and it's only the rear speakers at maybe half the volume of the fronts. Those issues aside, it is still overall a great vehicle. I am pleased with my purchase.

This SUV has met all of our needs. We are very pleased with the ride, safety features, cargo space and the visibility is good for my wife who has had trouble seeing in others in this class.

I had a RAV4 previously, and then switched to something else. Switched back because I love the RAV4 so much! Great design, comfort and safety features.

I like how it looks and handles. Also it gets better gas mileage than I thought it would. It is easy to see out of and I like that my wife can adjust the seat up so she can see out of it better. I have not driven it in snow as of yet, but if it handles as well as it does now it will be great. I did take me a while to figure out all the displays but that is just me.

Love it. Suggest better adjustment range on air vents in front and a possible air vent for back passengers. All else is great.

The RAV4 has a comfortable drive, plenty of leg room, seats are great for the back, lots of head room. It has great safety features such as lights that tell me if a car is in my blind spot and back up camera. I like my heated seats, sun roof and roof racks.
