The RAV4 is at its best when it's tackling more suburban tasks, such as daily commuting and trips to the home improvement store. The RAV4's rugged looks allow it to look at home among 4Runners and Tacomas, but even the most capable TRD Off-Road model isn't going to make it to the same remote locales as those more rugged off-roaders. A hybrid and a plug-in-hybrid powertrain are also available, but we review those models separately. Acceleration is somewhat poky, but fuel economy is good. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder drives the front or all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 2023 RAV4 continues the tradition, with a cargo-friendly interior, an attractive base price, and sensible road manners. Can hear a fair amount of road noise when driving and rattling inside, car seems on the unstable side while driving, car is advertised to have a 14.5 gallon fuel tank, but what they don’t disclose to you if you buy one it only fills up to about 10 gallons then the pump clicks off, your suppose to get 580 miles to empty on a full tank but since the pump clicks off before the tank is full you only get around 400 miles to empty, looked online to discover this started with the 2019’s when Toyota redesigned the fuel tank but they are still selling the vehicle without telling customers about this issue and still saying it has a 14.5 gallon tank and you’ll get 580 miles to empty on a full tank but with the changes they made to the fuel tank in 2019 that cause the pump to click off before the tank is full getting 14.5 gallons and or the 580 miles to empty is misleading, I contacted Toyota they said they know about it and are working on a solution but why is it taking so long, they did the redesign of the RAV4 hybrids fuel tanks in 2019 which according to Toyota is the cause of the issue, it’s now over halfway to 2021 still they haven’t fixed the problem and their dealerships continue to sell this vehicle without disclosing the fuel tank problem.There are good reasons why the RAV4 is a perennial bestseller for Toyota-it's a practical and efficient SUV that appeals to your common sense.
