Thank you! Is your Paint colour Frosted White? I'm thinking of getting a Frosted White instead of Glacier White GXL (no extra $$). Also, kindly confirm how long it took for them to deliver from ordering.
Thank you for this review. We are picking up a RAV4 today, exactly the same as this one, a white Cruiser hybrid. We are looking forward to it and this video is an excellent tutorial on the car.
Thanks for the detailed review. I ordered Cruiser AWD Hybrid in Graphite in June 21. Just went into production this month so will be a 2 year wait for us once delivery is received. I think 24-36 month wait is definitely what you should expect if placing a deposit today.
@@jayidabor4213 getting two facelifts since ordering is a painful wait but hey, at least we get the technical upgrades. I really wanted the better, bigger screens and usb-c.
@@jayidabor4213 for me too. Been informed that it's on the ship, so arrival is eminent. No the next wait however will be the Australian Biosecurity. They're backlogged too apparently.
I purchased a RAV4 Hybrid Cruiser a few months ago and have observed a distinct squeaking noise when I use the brakes in reverse. Is this a common issue with RAV4s, and have you encountered similar concerns?
I bought my Rav4 2023 earlier. I got lucky to have the only stock they have left in Australia otherwise i will have to wait for freaking 6-12 months! this car is in HUGE demand worldwide.
@Geoffrey Evans apparently my dealer accepted too many orders and therefore huge delay. However, the dealer expecting my car to arrive within March. Let's see.
I believe you can add a remote for your garage door to the car? That is an awesome feature to have, if possible. I would love to have remotes for my gate and garage door built into the car.
The Frosted White colour looks awesome. I'm going to get this colour. Nutmeg actually looks good in your car. Some videos it doesnt look too good. I wish they did a beige/cream interior.
Great review! Thanks for sharing it with us. Was wondering to buy exact the same model but the waiting time pushed me back. Also I don't understand why the main screen has such wide bezels, toyota could relocate power/volume button some where else as Mazda did.
@@hussainarefin2577 I hope it would not be the only change in 2024 model. 😃 Anyway it does not matter for now, the waiting period and increased price push me back to Mazda. Mazda is getting new CX-x0 models this and next year which are really interesting.
Agree on that mate. Either make a bigger screen or cut the bezel off😊. But i guess we are lucky to see a bigger screen in this model , unlike the 2022 one
Hi, No Toyota unfortunately doesn't come with Roadside assistance. However they offer two plans of Roadside assistance which can be purchased from Toyota if you like. thanks
Hi there, the colour of the car is "Frosted White" or some dealers call it "Pearl White". This would cost 700 AUD extra to upgrade from baseline white colour named as "Glacier White".
Hi, I went to toyota near my place and was planning to place an order on XSE AWD HYBRID but they said they don't recommend me to order XSE because toyota is planning to discontinue production of XSE so my time might be wasted. Like for example 12 month wait then toyota decides to discontinue it then I have to wait again for another 12 months for different model. Is that true? Or it is just a marketing strategy to increase sales of the higher tier modes like cruiser and edge? Everyone please share your thoughts. Thank you
Thanks Fahad for your review, it was very informative. I was disappointed to hear you point out that there is no graphic equaliser. Is there a treble and Bass control? We have ordered the RAV4 hybrid cruiser in glacier white with black interior. The Newcastle dealer told us it could be up to a 2 year wait. 😢
Thanks for all details. I am gonna have one by December. I will always drive on Economy. And for sure, I will find it really hard to accelerate it with the slow responsiveness along two systems and without making that big noise you did to yours. So if you see a slow Rav4 catching up to road speed like a turtle after the green light, it is me...🤣
Hi nice channel guy. I have the RAV4 Adventure Hybrid which I think in Aussie is the Edge. Anyway I’m unsure how to set up voice activation. But it would be handy to have as for some basic instructions. Cheers NZ.
Hi mate! Thanks for liking the channel. I have assed another short video to show you how to activate voice commands. Its here : czcams.com/video/Cs29qweLffc/video.html
Thanks for the review. But you really need to do aim something about the audio quality of your videos. Good quality lappel mics don't cost a fortune.. In the meantime, I'll watch other clips with better audio quarry thanks.
Hi mate , this is 2023 model. However the first two variants the GX and GXL come with 7" Touch screen. Then the higher variants XSE / Cruiser / Edge all come with 10.25" Touch screen. But if you have model 2022 , all variants are likely to have small touch screens. which one is yours?
Hi mate , to be honest , after almost 5 months of ownership , we as a family love this car even more. Pros - excellent fuel economy. fill the tank and forget about it for next 4 weeks. It works very well. No major cons or even minors as of now.
I've been waiting 12 months now. Not sure if I want to wait another 6 months or longer. Will consider the new Nissan X-Trail e-Power hybrid vehicle or the mild hybrid Volvo XC40.
Great review - I have the exact same one on order - been waiting approx 15 months now (they said 12months) - Toyota said I will now get this 2023 upgraded model, not the 2022 model I ordered
@@jayidabor4213 My Toyota dealer advised me I would get two price rises - a normal price rice (inflationary) and the newer model price rise. I personally don't agree with the new model price rise ! See what it ends up being ! I am suspicious they sold out my 2022 RAV4 out from under me though ! However, we can always decline to purchase if too expensive and get our deposit back !
@@varuneedilrazgoundowry3212 my patience is wearing out, can't believe I have waited this long. Wanted to sell my present car before the mileage goes over 100k, it had already.
Hi great review, I was hoping you were going to show us the new reverse camera display as for I know in the previous years the camera quality was very poor. Also wished that Toyota would have a black headlining instead of the white which in time will show marks. Thanks for your video 😊
yep 18 months into a 14 month contract and still no concrete build date. Buy a diffrent brand Honda hybrid same price and the closest comparison and you will get it in 3 months
Toyota have been receiving rubbish reviews for their entertainment system for years way before 2023, and whats with saying hey toyota? and not just say what you want , they can go to hell.

Thanks mate.
Loved the detailed review. Thanks
That was such a detailed review!!! Thank you
Thank you. Good for re-enforcement of what the dealer told us, but at that time it was information overload….. I needed this review!
Thanks for the review, I hope you can answer my question is there any button for the heated steering wheel? Thanks
Nice review. How about the audio system, especially the bass? Better than VW beats audio?

Great review. Very detailed. The cream colored softex is really making me wish I ordered mine in this color instead of black.
I assume it will get dirty fairly quickly

Should I choose 2WD or AWD? What do people recommend. Only for city driving so I guess 2WD?

Because Toyota left a bit of room for next year upgrade 🙃. 2024 model will come with thinner bezel .

Your audio system will have tone control, you just haven’t looked in the correct location. If not in a main menu it will be in a sub menu.

Dear Mohammad,
Yes Back lights are LED lights.
The people who are waiting for these will get the last of the current model by time it arrives. Bummer! The smart buyers are ordering the new model

Such annoying beeping when the boot is opening/closing! 🤦🏻♂️😝😖🤯🤮
Agreed but you just have to get use to it😅
Exactly same my microwave oven does upon finishing. 😄
@@hussainarefin2577 same as my washing machine too
