2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid consumer reviews

I was ready for a smaller SUV with AWD and better gas mileage. Who knew it would be so pretty and fancy!!

This vehicle caught my attention on the showroom floor. I was there to test drive, and subsequently purchase a used FJ, and upon waiting for the dealer to get me info on my new "used purchase".....I changed my mind and purchased the RAV4 right off the showroom floor! I was that impressed with it's beauty and Platinum series options!

This car is what I was looking for. I am a short person- it put me higher and let me see more, increased my ground clearance ( we get snow in winter) and makes me feel safer. I feel it will help me have better gas milage and it has great conveniences.

This car handles beautifully. I love it! I love the design of the dash and the steering is so comfortable. Cruise control is great and automatically slows down if you are in a certain distance from the car in front.

Only have it for awhile, but definitely getting the 30 miles per gallon. Compared to earlier Rav4 seems to have a bigger blind spot, but still a comfortable car to drive. Too soon to know about maintenance issues.

I have about 1,500 miles on my 2017 Rav4 Hybrid Limited. I use the vehicle primarily to navigate a long daily commute (125 miles a day). My route is a mix of interstate highway, 2-lane primary routes, and stop lights/heavier traffic. I am averaging about 37 mpg, and I haven't changed my driving style to try to "hyper mile". I had also been considering a Honda Civic- great styling and with mpg ratings of 31/42, clearly a good choice. But I really wanted the AWD, additional space, and ease of entry/exit in a small SUV. I am glad I did- and at 37 mpg this Rav4 hybrid is exceeding expectations. I went with the Limited model after a lot of angst. At various times I was considering both the XLE and SE models as well. I chose the Limited to spoil myself with the heated softex seating in the winter, and ultimately chose a model with most options including the front and rear radar and panoramic camera. The LED headlights put out an outstanding view- big help for night driving. The SE has many of the features of a Limited as well, and might be a good choice for many. I drove the XLE as well, and found it to be comfortable and tempting to purchase. I also considered the Honda CR-V, and it is a very nice vehicle as well. For me it came down to a slight styling preference towards the Rav4- rear visibility on the RAV seems a bit better, and I prefer the front end styling of the RAV. And, so far, the fuel economy on the hybrid RAV seems to be perhaps ~7 mpg better than the expected average of 30 mpg (27/33) than the CR-V rating. I would recommend the RAV4 hybrid as a fun, comfortable, secure, and pleasant vehicle for most driving scenarios. It excels as a commuter, road trip vehicle for 1 to 4, and daily chores. I've read that it does well in snow and rain- it's too soon for me to have had any experience with either yet.

Overall Satisfied with the vehicle, has a very smooth soundless ride with great fuel economy. Great Pic for small family.

I stay in the Poconos and its about 110 miles to Philly Airport. I do a lot of flying as i am in consulting. This car always gives a fuel efficiency avg of about 35mpg. Beat that! With a 2.5 lt engine, safety features such as lane change alert, collision detect, assisted cruise control, it's a pleasure to drive. The moon roof makes it a favorite for my gf and auto high beam is a blessing every time we drive at night.

This is my first hybrid-2017 RAV4 Limited. I've had it for five months. Just reaching 5,000 miles. No problems whatsoever! I love the keyless entry-I keep the key in my purse. Driving mostly highway, the average gas mileage has been 35 mpg-better than expected. It is higher when I drive on the weekend around town. The seats are comfortable -the stereo excellent. The birds eye view-great for parking. My friends say it is comfortable as passengers. The middle seat is small but I don't carry four passengers very often. I love driving this car!

The navigation system is a little touchy, but I need to read the manual in order to say the correct commands. It doesn't seem to recognize Caldwell, Idaho!
