Ongoing reliability nightmare
Fourteen months, more time at the dealer than my driveway. Turbo failed at 8,000 miles, infotainment blank at 11,000 miles, persistent vibration they cannot locate. First and last experience with this brand.

Decent, but not outstanding
Solid car that does its job without exciting me. Ride comfortable, easy to drive, safety features work well. Interior materials feel a step below the price point, engine noisy when pushed. Reliable but not class-leading.

Average experience — wouldn't buy again
Functional but underwhelming. Ride is fine, fuel economy acceptable, reliable enough. But every time I get in I feel I settled. Looking at competitors for my next car.

Disappointed — expected better reliability
Bought on strong reviews and brand reputation. Ongoing electronic issues: infotainment crashed twice, emergency braking triggered unexpectedly three times. Dealer slow to acknowledge. Driving experience fine but reliability has soured everything.

1,200-mile round trip with two kids and a dog. Boot swallowed everything, rear space genuinely comfortable, fuel stops infrequent. Kids slept most of the way. Ultimate endorsement.

The 2023 Toyota RAV4 is a solid car that does its job competently without really exciting me. The ride is comfortable, easy to drive, and the safety features work well. However, the interior materials feel a step below what the price suggests, and the engine is noticeably noisy when pushed. Expected…

Family road trip approved
Just returned from a 1,200-mile round trip in our 2023 Toyota RAV4 with two children and a labrador. Couldn't have asked for a better companion. Boot swallowed everything we packed, rear passenger space was comfortable even for a ten-hour day, and the fuel stops were infrequent. Kids slept most of t…
