    The PHEV in XLINE Prestige is a legit luxury SUV. I'm about to pull the trigger on one. The inventory in So Cal is pretty robust so I'm hoping to get a good deal.

      I just looked at one today and I fell in love. It's especially amazing in the shadow matte grey. If I can negotiate the price a bit I'm definitely getting it.

      @@bobbygilmore2076 I bought mine three weeks ago and couldn't be happier. The matte looks good but understand it requires special care. I didn't want the hassle. What worked for me was I got an "out the door price" on a loaded RAV4 (not PRIME) at $48k. I walked in and said match this and I buy today. They matched and I ended up at about $1800 under MSRP and $7000 off their stupid sticker price.

    Color is limited to trim package and it is not a plethora of colors. Only about 6 choices and and all 6 are not available in all trims. Which sucks!

    Can the car run on pure EV when turning on the heat or AC?

      Other reviews say no, it lacks a heat pump system like the Rav4 so heat is generated by the gas engine

      Definitely not, it needs the heat production ofthe gas engine.
      I have one here in Chicago and that really sucks.

      I live in extreme climate area. So heat and AC is a must. Should we just consider the regular Hybrid instead of the much more expensive PHEV if there is no way it is run on pure EV??

      That's crazy! I'm in New Mexico, United States, and inordered my Sportage PHEV 5 months ago. At the time I was told a 5-8 month delivery time. I spoke to the dealership a few weeks ago and they said the factory had confirmed my order and was starting the build soon. I was told that meant about 2 more months of waiting. Now I'm worried they are blowing smoke up my a$$. Lol!
