Ordered 2019 RAV4 Hybrid Limited - Canada

Hello All, new member checking in from Ottawa, Canada. Ordered new 2019 Rav4 Limited Hybrid. Build date is 26 April, so it will probably be delivered early/middle May.
I traded in 2016 Lexus ES300H Hybrid. Dealer discounted the RAV4 by $1100, and gave me the top Black Book price on the trade in. Its always nice to leave dealership thinking that you got a good price (even if you didn't).

RAV4 Limited Hybrid was delivered 7 May. I am enjoying it.

Hi. I’m a new member and I took possession of my 2019 RAV4 Limited Hybrid (Blizzard Pearl on black leather) on 10 May 2019. I ordered it on 02 Feb 2019 so it took three months to arrive. I’ve had it three days and I’m liking what I see.

New 2019 Hybrid RAV owner

Hello to everyone! Purchased my new RAV 4 2019 Hybrid almost 2 weeks ago, XLE, convenience & weather packages in white after trading in my Volvo that used 93 octane...wasn't told that until after I had signed for it. Also had to keep taking it in for software updates. Had always had Toyota's or Honda's up to that point. I love this Hybrid. Very quiet, enough power, very comfortable and feel they have greatly improved the visibility opportunities! I'm in Kentucky and my salesman, whom I've known for a while, said they are overwhelmed by the demand for the hybrid and at this time, they are selling as fast as they come in. Currently getting between 41-44mpg. Very pleased.

Welcome, new members.
Congratulations on your rides.
Enjoy them.


This thread is for introduction ONLY.

Any questions arising should be asked in dedicated posts - after Search feature was used.
Hybrid principles are pretty much same across all the years and models, many of your questions have already been answered.

Purchased my 2020 Rav4 HYBRID XLE in late November. I got one in Blueprint with a Nutmeg interior. I added Roof Rack Rails, Weathertech FloorLiners, Toyota Mud Flaps, and a BlackVue DR750S-2CH camera system with a Power Magic Ultra Battery. I also added a Netgear cellular modem for uploading video & passenger use.

Hi everyone, I am now the proud owner of a 2020 Limited RAV4 Hybrid in Midnight Black Metallic that was manufactured on Aug. 7th at Georgetown, Kentucky. First time I've bought any vehicle with only 1 mile showing on the odometer.

I have owned 3 Prii, and am now looking forward to a bit more room in my car. I have a deposit down on an XLE that my dealer says is about 50 days out. Hello all! I look forward to sharing this new experience with you guys and gals!

Update: Took delivery July 6, and lovin’ it!

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a 2021 Rav4 Hybrid. Picking it up in a couple of days. Looking to see what others did on their pick up day, such as asking the dealer to update the fob so that all windows go down when holding down unlock. Anything else I should inquire about?

Looking forward to reading all the threads here.

Cheers,

Update please! What I did was to begin slogging thru the owners manual. But I have had greater success just sitting in my garage (garage door open) and wasting some gas & battery power and punching thru the menus myself on the Multi-function display and the Apple CarPlay, etc. (in the middle of the dash) screen. Good luck, and happy discovering!

Hi there, new member. Just picked up a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid Limited with the works. Any tips/general wisdom is much appreciated. I haven’t owed a Toyota prior to this. So far so good, I’m still glad I took it home (all of 40 miles on it so far).

Good morning from Omaha, Nebraska. Just purchased a new 2023 RAV4 Hybrid XLE Premium. We've owned many Toyota's over the years and have never been disappointed. Looking forward to many years of ownership with this one.
