Car of the future

I am very pleased to have been able to find one of these scarce vehicles. The plug in hybrid makes it a good match for the solar panels on our house. Very comfortable with plenty of torque and horsepower. I look forward to many years of low carbon emission driving.

RAV4 PrimeXSE replaces RangeRoverEvoqueDynamicHSE

Spent six months searching for a reliable new vehicle to purchase. My expectation was to locate a similar size SUV that would make a lasting impression on me comparable to how my current Range Rover Evoque Dynamic HSE did. My criteria included an economical decision to find a new compact SUV that wasn't as expensive to maintain/repair long term as my Evoque . After several months of research and test driving different Makes/Models, the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime XSE easily hit the top of my list. From ride/handling, horsepower, and comfort - to style, interior space, and available options, no other compact SUV quite compared to what the RAV4 Prime XSE had to offer. The Plug-In Hybrid option ultimately sealed my decision. The months of research and effort before deciding on a vehicle was well worth the wait for my upcoming purchase

The perfect transition car until fuel cell.

I wanted an environmentally excellent auto (I have solar PV cells on my house) with AWD. ground clearance, no range anxiety and ALL the safety bells and whistles to replace my 2017 Prius Prime advanced, which I loved. I kept my old Lexus RX330 hibernating in the grace through for winter storm days. This XSC-level RAV 4 Prime with all options is, from my point of view, the best car on the road for me right now. It does everything that both of my old cars did plus a LOT more, has every safety feature (HUD, surround camera, full-speed ACC, lots of room and OVER 300 HP with a 42+ mile electric range, FAST CHARGING capability (I just installed a 220V line and charger), a spare (which the Prius did not have), Qi charger, CarPlay, Alexa, ad infinitum. It even has a DIGITAL rear view mirror if you want to use that because your rear is filled with stuff and a 110V outlet!

Like electric with hybrid

Like the fact that I can drive in electric mode and then switch to hybrid mode. Wish Toyota had more inventory to choose from. Could only find one car in all of PA.
