THIS IS THE BEST SPEC! TOYOTA RAV4 CRUISER HYBRID 2022 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Toyota RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid for 2022 remains a compelling choice, solidifying its position as a top pick within the range. The reviewer highlights its pragmatic blend of luxury and practicality, particularly praising the leather-appointed, heated, and ventilated front seats with full electric adjustment, including for the passenger, a significant upgrade over lower trims. While the interior features ample hard plastics, the overall cabin is deemed comfortable and functional, with clever storage solutions and a decent JBL sound system. The boot space is practical, though lacking a sliding second row. On the road, the 2WD hybrid system offers adequate performance, though it can be noisy under acceleration. The ride comfort is a standout, with the 18-inch wheels contributing to a plush and supple experience, though the reviewer notes the suspension may need time to settle on this new example. Downsides include a dated infotainment system, a grainy reverse camera, and safety features that, while functional, lack the polish of newer competitors. Despite these points, the RAV4's low running costs, excellent fuel efficiency (though real-world highway figures were higher than expected on this new model), and overall ease of use make it a highly recommendable, albeit long-wait-list, SUV.
