Get over yourself Toyota. Your Entune app sucks. Build in Apple CarPlay.

The vehicle and manufacturer's reliability are second to none. Would have preferred wider front seats.

Owner Review

It would've been nice if even the lower models had a GPS system, but the alternative is acceptable when needed.

I have driven Toyotas for the last 12 years, and the RAV4 XLE was a great new car for me when I needed a new one over Labor Day. The controls are incredibly user friendly, the legroom is amazing (I'm tall, so that's always a concern), and it's really comfortable to drive. The fact that I could get it in Electric Storm Blue was the cherry on top!
