2016 RAV4 hybrid owner here was shocked last week when the service manager stated the passenger side rear wheel is a non-adjustable for alignment! I asked if the parts on the vehicle were Toyota and was told yes! Hello, just wondering what the expectation is for the performance of these 8 speed transmissions on the new Rav.

Understanding the Context

Just trying to see if I should expect a smooth shift or is it still known to be kinda jerky and funny acting/sounding. I recently bought a 2025 Rav4 XLE. The battery consistently shows 2/3 full or less. It usually shows 1/2 full and sometimes only has 2 bars.

Key Insights

I have more than 1500 miles on the car, with a mix of city and highway. We had a Prius for 20 years and have a 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid as our second... We have a 2020 Rav4 Limited Hybrid and a 2020 Lexus RX350. There is no comparison between the heating and cooling seats in the two cars. The Lexus is warmer and cooler by far than the Rav4.

Final Thoughts

I realize the Lexus cost considerable more but it shows Toyota has the technology to make seats which cool and heat well. For the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid XLE, AMCI claims: Better Overall Active Safety Performance on Snow and Ice than Chevrolet Equinox AWD LT, Honda CR-V AWD EX, Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4×4, and Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium RAV4 Hybrid AWD... is it really ALL wheel drive? | Toyota Forum I have 2014 RAV4 XLE (lease) and not really happy. I went from 2010 Venza V6 to Rav4 and it was a huge mistake. A lot of missing or not included in the Rav4.

- No sunglasses holder - No coin change holder - No power assist for the hatchback - No garage door power - Tighter than Venza - Cargo is smaller than Venza.
