Would you take the RAV4 Hybrid over the new options like CR-V and Escape? Some of you may wonder about the gas tank issue, in my 900 mile trip with the RAV4 Hybrid last year it didn't let me fill the tank past about 3/4. I'm not sure about the status of that right now. Check out my road trip video with the RAV4 for more detail: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uYtq0IOVf6WXdno *Thanks for watching and have a great day!*

I have the 2021 rav-4 hybrid XSE. I managed to get 667 miles on one tank of ethenol free gas. The bad news: When you actually fully run out of gas on these bad boys, it triggers a "hybrid system malfunction" error code, and you cannot reset yourself unless you have an OBD2 reader, even if you have backup fuel with you. Otherwise you have to get it towed to a toyota dealership. Learned that lesson the hard way. Other than that, so far this car is really perfect.

I have a question concerning the rear defrost grid on the 2020 RAV4 Hybrids, I noticed that the grid (defrost wires) on our vehicle are not uniform in color when examining from the interior side of the window. Some of the grid is copper colored and as you look at other spots on the same wire it is darker gray in color. We looked at other RAV4 Hybrids on a dealer's lot and the rear defrost grids were all uniform in color (darker gray.) Our local dealer examined our vehicle, contacted Toyota, and they provided a new rear window. When I examined the installed window (again from the interior side of the glass) at the dealer, it still had the issue. I showed the service manager & he was embarrassed that he did not check the new window before swapping it out. They ordered another window which arrived with the same issue. They are contacting Toyota to discuss. Does anyone have this issue. You need to examine in a garage since backlight from the sun makes it hard to examine. Also a flashlight shined at an angle helps. We are concerned that this issue could lead to failure at some point & we keep our vehicles a long time (200K miles.) Our 2020 Toyota Tundra does not have this issue. Thank you to anyone replying.

The hybrid system is very low maintenance. There’s still the typical normal gas engine oil changes etc. up front there is a price difference...can’t remember but right around $800 more when comparing an AWD gas trim vs that corresponding hybrid trim. Over the long run, there’s a chance the hybrid battery will fail or wear out before the gas engine would...so life expectancy isn’t as good but there are still a lot of old toyota hybrids 10+ years old running great. Depends how often you will drive whether it would be worth it

@@PrimeAutotainment We have a 2020 RAV4 Limited Hybrid just 2 months old with this problem, and no they have not come up with a fix for the gas tank only taking about 10 gallons of gas. I spoke to several dealers who all said that Toyota knows about the issue and is working on a fix. I then called the toll free number to Toyota Care and was told they would document my case, and that there have been others but they do not have the data as to how many vehicles exhibit this problem. The CSR said that there may one day be a recall (owners get notified) or maybe a technical bulletin (owners do not get notified per the CSR.) So you need to decide if a 10 gallon gas tank and the range it provides is adequate for you.

They had to design the gas tank in order to accommodate they placement of the batteries and for some reason the gas tanks will only take about 10 gallons/37.8 liters of fuel. I have heard that there may be a difference in design/parts between the Canadian vs Japanese built vehicles and that the Japanese built Hybrids do not have this gas tank filling issue. Seems to me if that were true a quick comparison of the parts would lead to a solution. But this problem persists on 2019 & 2020 Hybrids. That is a very long time!
