UPDATED 2023 TOYOTA RAV4 WOODLAND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition is reviewed as a highly practical and value-oriented compact SUV, maintaining its position as a top contender in the market. The reviewers highlight its excellent fuel economy, strong resale value, and affordable hybrid pricing as key strengths. The Woodland Edition package adds aesthetic appeal with bronze wheels and off-road suspension, though the reviewers question its value proposition over the XLE trim, especially in Canada where it lacks some features available in the US. Updates for 2023 include a new infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and an available larger touchscreen. While praised for its comfortable seats and spacious interior, criticisms include the lack of a height-adjustable passenger seat on all trims and a steering wheel that isn't fully heated. The review also touches on the 'cablegate' issue, noting Toyota's extended warranty for affected models. Ultimately, the RAV4 Hybrid is deemed a better value than its competitors, particularly the Honda CR-V Hybrid in Canada, due to its superior pricing and fuel efficiency.
