Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for Sale

Early 2018. Gave my 2007 Camry Hybrid to a family member, which is still going strong after 130K miles. Beyond normal maintenance, this car only required a new 12V battery six months ago (not the main hybrid battery), and the hybrid battery still tests as nearly new. Wanted a new hybrid with all of the current safety devices, but did drive the highly acclaimed new-gen CRV to see what it was about (we own a 2010 CRV). Nice car, but no long term reliability track record for the turbo engine, and not hybrid mpg. The 2018 Camry Hybrid's entry/exit height is a lot lower than before and too low for me. Drove the 2018 RAV4 Hybrid and loved it. Was going to buy a new one when I found a 15 month old 2016 RAV4 Hybrid Limited with less than 5,000 miles at a nearby dealership. 2016 Limited has all of the same safety features as 2018, got a great price, bought it. My wife and I are delighted! No problem getting 30-31 mpg in our mostly urban driving, our former Camry Hybrid got 33-34 mpg for the same routine driving. Smoother, quieter, more fun to drive than the Camry, too. Best of all, we know that the hybrid drive in our new RAV4 will last for at least the next decade! Highly recommended!

Vehicle has been perfect for me. I am satisfied with the performance & comfort. Averaged 34.08 MPG over the 2 years. Safety systems all work correctly. Reliability has been great. Not a high tech guy, but everything works fine. Some competitors have better interiors, but it is OK. Has plenty of room & cargo space. Headlights could be a little stronger & liftgate could raise a little higher. Brakes are good. Gas to electric & back is seamless. With Toyota Care, I have had zero maintenance costs. Have signed up for Toyota Care Plus at a cost of $329 which is a no-brainer for another 2 years as it also covers a new air filter & cabin air filter at 30,000 miles.

This car should be driven by everyone. The Rav4Hybrid is tomorrows car available now.Safety performance good looks and economy meets today's drivers needs.Drive one and you will experience what I mean.

I have 17,000 miles on my 2017 Limited Hybrid. Car has been problem-free and gets an average of 32.8 mpg in warmer weather, mid to high 20s in cold weather. The hybrid system adds power in addition to saving gas, so acceleration is there when you need it. The brakes are good, but not as strong as other hybrids I've driven. Car drives very smoothy, but there is no feeling of attachment to the experience - very appliance like and boring. Visibility leaves a lot to be desired with terrible rear visibility and forward visibility hampered by thick windshield pillars that are far forward, interfering with the view of other cars and pedestrians at right angles at intersections. If it weren't for the rear camera and parking sensors, backing up would be a real adventure, hence the dents you see on the backs of so many RAV4s (it doesn't help the rear bumper is useless). All the safety tech works well. The pedestrian detection already warned me of a person about to walk behind me as I was about to reverse. Supposedly it has auto-braking, but Toyota doesn't make it clear. It may or may not help brake if needed. It will beep at you though!!! The first few months of owning, the driver's seat was ok... but has gotten more and more uncomfortable. An hours drive and I am in pain. I limp when getting out of the car. I keep a gel cushion now. I am not a huge or heavy person at all. The seat has a weird mix of support that is too soft in the middle and too hard and narrow at the hips. Maybe only designed for tiny people. Also, even though it is an 8-way power seat, it acts more like a 6-way as you raise it. The passenger side has no height control and is a bit low. The telescoping steering wheel barely telescopes... still too far away for long legged drivers. Cargo area is good, but the hump from the battery is annoying (the 2019 will be flat). The split rear seat is designed for Japan, not USA. The large part should be behind the passenger side!!!! The power tailgate is very slow and sometimes doesn't work the first try. I can open and close a tailgate 5 times in the amount of time it takes for this thing to work. And turning it off, it's still very hard to open. The tech is good, but could be better. Voice command is a joke. "She" can't understand almost anything you say, unlike Siri. The steering wheel controls for calling work well... but you can't scroll through phone numbers using them! You have to still press your finger on a tiny number on the screen... makes no sense. There is only two choices for NAV screen brightness; super bright or black at night... it won't let you dim to medium at night. Wipers work well, with many speed choices. Radio sound is good, but took some time to get used to the brassy sound and you need to keep most of the sound in the rear speakers. Only one window switch is lit at night, the door lock and other switches are a guessing game. There are no puddle lamps in the door bottoms. I can understand this cost-cutting on the cheapest trim, but not on the Limited or Premium, with sticker price pushing $40,000. Car rides well.... but the 18 inch wheels make you feel the small bumps, especially if you add a few more psi to the tires to get better economy. Would I buy this car again? Not sure! Maybe not. Not with these seats and not for what I paid!!!

I love the mileage, average over 32mpg, city and highway. being a hybrid I thought it wouls be low power but it has plenty of get up and go. recently had it in the Rockies, no problems. Averaged 22 going up and 99 coming down!

Quality fit, finish and performance . Great on gas. Fun to drive around town or on the open road. Great safety features. Comfort is awesome.

This vehicle has met my vehicles needs are far as comfort, stability and needs. This vehicle is great on gas and a full tank last me one week and I do drive a lot of miles. Very reliable vehicle for the whole entire family.

It was the exact vehicle I needed for my work needs and family leisure. The features inside the vehicle are amazing. Even though I couldn’t tap into them all without the help of kids

Really enjoy driving this car. Good visibility, ride is smooth, electronics are terrific. Drivers seat back not adjustable, so long term driving not as comfortable as my Prius was. Ave 30 mpg hybrid

I love my car, great on gas, handles all weather conditions with ease, and perfect performance! I love the space, look, and the fact that it should last a very long time.

The fact that we ended up with a low mileage used hybrid was a bonus. The car sits higher and is more comfortable than our previous car.

Good safety features, plenty of room for people and cargo in a small footprint, sits higher than a sedan for better visibility. Hybrid transition is seamless. CVT transmission feels like a regular automatic.

My 2018 RAV4 SE Hybrid Toyota was the least expensive "luxury feeling" SUV I could afford, and it's the only hybrid model in it's class. The interior is a bit cramped due to the battery, but overall there is enough space for 4 people to comfortably sit in. I haven't had any complaints from my front seat passengers. The "trunk" isn't as spacious as non-hybrids. A bicycle will fit in with a seat down and the front wheel off. The interior feels nicely put together. Some of the buttons are difficult to access, like the seat heaters. This 2018 has the same Entune system as other older models, it's not that well thought out, especially the nav unit, which doesn't anyways get you where you want to go. The premium stereo system sounds good. The air conditioner works ridiculously so much better than in the LE model I had previously, as does the phone (both the ac and the phone didn't have enough "bars" to blow out cool air, or hear phone conversations). Instead of leather, "leatherette" is used for the seating ("vegan" friendly, even Tesla is using this material now)- it seems to clean up well. Everything is power operated, including the hatch which is slow to open, I wish there was a pop up button in the car to open the hatch when I don't want to use the power lift. Cup holders aren't conveniently placed, and there aren't enough of them. More phone charging ability would also be welcomed. The driver's seat is very comfortable. It's easy to adjust the seat and steering wheel for optimal driving, for your height. The car isn't as zippy as the non-hybrid due to the weight of the battery, going up steep hills it's slow to reach full acceleration, and sounds like it's "lugging" it on the hills. The heaviness does make it feel stable on the freeway and while cornering. The RAV4 sits up higher off the ground which gives a secure feeling on the freeway. As with all trim levels of RAV4's, it has Toyota's standard safety features. On my SE there is true blind spot monitoring. So many other SUVs in this class make you pay extra for safety features that come standard on the RAV4, I'm very appreciative that Toyota doesn't charge more for these features (multiple air bags, lane departure warnings, sudden stopping of the car when a rear end accident is imminent, to name a few). Even with just 700 miles on the car, the car is getting an average of 30-32 mpg, a real improvement over the non-hybrids. Overall, the car is comfortable, easy to drive, looks good, and with care should last hopefully for many thousands of miles. For the money the RAV4 SE Hybrid was the most I could afford with the features I was looking for. I waited until the price came down as the 2019 RAV4's came in. The price was better and the dealer incentives available helped. All in all, I'm satisfied with the purchase. I think the gas savings and Toyota's well known reliability will make up for any negatives. The warranty seems pretty straightforward, the battery is under warranty for almost 100,000 miles. The RAV4 warranties aren't as good as the Kia or Hyundai models, but I feel Toyotas can last a long time with care. My dealer offers other incentives if you have maintenance done at their dealership, I'll take advantage of those offers. All in all I'm happy with my 2018 RAV4 SE. I'm happy with all the extra features that came with the SE model; power seats, windows, safety features, alloy wheels, AWD, etc. Those features make it a vehicle I plan on keeping for the long term. With Toyota's known reliability, if I take good care of the vehicle, it should last many thousands of miles. I'm satisfied.

This car runs great and seems to have more power and capacity than the Prius I have driven in the past. Comfortable seats, (cloth) just wish they were heated but I opted for the LXE instead of limited due to budget. Gas mileage runs around 28-29 mpg, not quite what they advertise at 30-34. Great car nonetheless.

I have all the features of an higher end model in my hybrid. I love the handeling and comfort of this vehicle. The gas mileage I get out of this car is absolutely amazing. I will probably never go back to an all gas vehicle.

I’ve only had this vehicle for about a week and so far it’s been perfect, fuel economy and sleek look are just what I was looking for.

My Toyota RAV4 Hybrid gives not only great gas mileage but an excellent ride with all the features of a luxury car . Very satisfied

I love driving this car. It gets 35-40 mpg, and has lots of power in the sport mode. Comfortable, great stereo, and good looking!

This is a solid vehicle with AWD, spacious interior , and low gas mileage. It has a variety of options especially the road safety package and towing capability which is not common in many hybrids.

I wanted a car with a bit more room than my Prius. The Rav 4 Hybrid is perfect for me. I love the fact that I’m a bit higher up with the additional visibility that brings. Getting a hybrid eased my concerns about getting into the SUV—gas mileage is great. Not as good as the Prius but far better than other heavy cars/SUV’s. Between 33-40 mpg depending on exterior temps.
