Very happy with my purchase

After purchase I immediately took the car on an 800 mile road trip. It is much more comfortable and rides more smoothly than our older RAV4 and had plenty of pep for highway driving. Averaged over 37 MPG at highway speed of 70-80 MPH. Would have liked a power hatchback but overall I’m very satisfied with the options that came with it as an LE model.

Not worth the money.

I bought a 2020 Rav 4 it has been in the shop more then anything. Always some with voltage and power steering. Computer updates. I have sank more money into repairs then anything else. Not reliable or dependable for what I paid for the vehicle.

toyota get in the game

no matter how basic a car the ability to open your garage door should be standard. rav4 LE strips too many basic needs. toyota stop being cheap get in the game

Going Places

Definition of practical while being affordable. All the bad reviews are because the geniuses who purchases them did no research. Auto Off engine kills your battery life, leaving it off is perfect. Packed with safety features, you want your kids in this car 100%. 28 mpg in the city and 35+ in 55 MPH zones. I get 38 mpg highway normally. Sure you can pay $35k+ for a hybrid, but this is well engineered already.

Rav4 Battery dead at 2.5 years

Car would not start at 25500 miles and 2.5 years. Battery completely dead. Trying to get battery recharged. We drive car regularly, so there is NO reason for battery to be dead. Horrible situation to find car want start after only 2.5 years. Checking on a used Honda.

Highly Recommend

We just bought a 2020 Rav4 LE as a Toyota Certified car with 21,500 miles. We downsized (literally) from a 20 year old Sequoia, so we're getting accustomed to the smaller size. My only complaint is that the cup holders seem to be a bit awkward. I love the design and the all of the safety features and the handling while driving.

a little bit expensive but worthy

only concern I have is the tire pressure sensor(s) are a little bit sensitive. This including the spare tire carried its own sensor. You only used spare tire once a while not daily. quality is good. no CVT transmission problems for Adventure model. The 4 wheels drive for adventure is amazing drove in heavy rain Floody conditions without a scratch (which Forester and CRV were parking on roadside cannot move)
