2023 RAV4 LE Review & Tutorial + Hidden "Dexter" Reference

hello everyone I'm Jeff Teague this is Toyota Jeff reviews thanks for hitting subscribe this is the 2023 RAV4 Le this is also the least expensive of all the trim levels it may be the best value so I'm going to show you everything I know so that you can research it better or learn more about the one you've just bought so let's walk around this one while I tell you about some pricing the front wheel drive you can get it in front wheel or all-wheel drive is just under 28 000 Factory MSRP before delivery the all-wheel drive is going to be just over 29 000 so either way you can get yourself the best selling small SUV in the country for several years for under thirty thousand and that's why I'm saying this one might be the best one for your budget and the best value plain here's your first look at the interior it's got the dark black interior cloth seats the seats are very comfortable they're plush they feel nice good bolstering look at the dash and then here we go we're looking from the driver's side this one still has the plastic on it must have just been delivered what a rip-off what I mean I'm gonna rip this off [Music] oh no where's Dexter where here well well this is a 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine it gives you 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission I see hood blanket here I see prop Rod pushed off to the side all copacetic this has independent McPherson struts in the front multi-link rear suspension in the back disc brakes in the front and the back 12 inches and 11.1 inches in the rear let's talk fuel 14.5 gallon fuel tank this one front wheel drive 27 in the city 35 on the highway 30 combined interestingly enough all-wheel drive is the same city 27 different Highway 34 and then 30 combined same combined and plane check out this new headlight design new for 2022 Sinister ominous and dark no way bright and these are bright these are LED headlights LED daytime running lights it's got that dark trapezoidal Grille here new Toyota safety sense 2.5 it bumps up from 2.0 so we now have intersection support gives a little assistance verbally visually and if you need it when you're turning and somebody might be in the crosswalker coming at you so that could help you ground clearance on this one is 8.4 inches how does it look in the front Le is the one trim level that does not have alloy wheels it's got 17 inch steel wheels there we go now let's look at it on the whole profile that's pretty cool then we've got let's see up here we've got no turn signal indicators in the side mirrors we've got no auto lock and auto unlock because it opens with a key you gotta click that on the key fob so that means it does not have Smart Key you'll see matte black accents along the pillars shark fin antenna no moon roof on this one Chrome accents around the windows and profile and scene all RAV4s have standard LED tail lights yes I'm holding the key because I wanted to show you the switchblade here that's what it looks like lock unlock it's got the Panic on it but it does not have the tailgate release so we gotta pop it like that pop it lock it polka dot it then we've got backup camera here all right for cargo space you have 37.6 cubic feet of space with the seats up and then 69.8 so almost 70 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats so now we've got lots of room to plank we can meditate because look how tall this is you can't see because it actually goes up but yeah you can meditate you can just chill you can lay down you can stack boxes you can sit here with your dog while they observe the world and have the best day of their whole lives couple interesting tips Pearls of Wisdom you can get this all-weather cargo tray it goes up the back of the rear seats if you notice and then if you want this floor to be flat and carpeted you can do that or you can make it a hard surface like that or you can take this and slide it under the main floor now you can open up even more storage space it's a little bit but sometimes an inch or two makes all the difference in the world come Vlog with me here we've got a tall interior so that'll help people who are taller and they want more Headroom there's already 39.5 inches of rear seat Headroom and I can go ahead and flip this and make it go forward or I can recline it just a little bit so I've got more Headroom we have 37.8 inches of rear seat leg room this is with the seats more forward so obviously they're going to get pushed back for most people but this is a good example of how much room you could get it's got a 12 volt circular back here we've got air vents a pocket there sport bottle holders I like it do we have an armrest it's an Le it should have one it does have one deep cup holders here they're durable too nice wide surface squishy squishy latches for child safety seats hidden into there you can see it a little bit like the ground hole wondering if it should see its shadow next month or not six more weeks of winter or will it be done the groundhog knows only that one groundhog knows let's do a horn test the biggest difference we're going to notice in all RAV4s Toyota audio multimedia this is an eight inch screen it can go all the way up to 10.5 inches in other trim levels it's raised it's really fast with this processing times for voice commands it can give you tons of information about your vehicle or just about the car or about everyday trivia once you get that all set up so that's kind of nice Wireless Apple carplay and wireless I enjoy it auto I just set Android auto wrong but just keep going all right so we've got a soft armrest here good room for sport bottle smart Shelf what else do we have we've got the books some cables we got more room so that's good this does not have a power passenger seat right there we can see the the bar it's firmer on the edges but it's soft in the center like the perfect marshmallow right all right what do we got in here we've got USBS that's nice I see some lighting in there too that's nice deep deep cupholders here holla then we've got Eco for better gas mileage normal for normal sport for better acceleration going up hills getting onto a highway passing somebody electronic brake hold and electronic parking brake that could be where the wireless charging goes for some people we've got USB there in other trim levels I mean we've got digital temperature but it's not specific to the actual temperature it just shows you it's getting warmer or colder also of Interest power driver seat no bar it's got the power by hand we'll call it the Poor Man's power seat here can raise you up You Raise Me Up then you can also lower it just like that as well so we've got mirror adjustments door adjustments fuel Hood nothing super fancy about those we got brightness of the dash automatic high beams storage pocket manually adjusted steering wheel it's not leather wrapped controls are I think easy enough to figure out and use you can do this or you can just use voice commands which would be nice you can wake it up it's called the wake-up call you can wake it up before you go go don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo one little tip here if you want to use the speedometer that's given you can do that or you can go digital that's analog right there digital will be this let's leave it there so some other things that we could see these are just the settings you can do different safety features get those all set up now you can also do the 12.3 inch fully digital you could do that that would be on the higher trim levels so that's certainly an option that'll be exciting to see if you like that one here so we could do our music turn that down enable audio and then hits one you could do that classic vinyl all sorts of things you can set up I want Sports our current information let's see trip information vehicle oh wait I'm sorry history secretary or MPG we've got different settings you can set up your own profiles you can pair or have set up in the system I think five smartphones and you can keep two active at any one time driver and passenger side as well this might be helpful to you when you're setting up your locks especially and up top we've got the poor man's auto dimming mirror we've got this right here sunglass holder safety connect and then got our lighted mirrors that oh they do not slide okay so this is one of the things that does not have a slider here's a microphone here door handle here there's a microphone I'll go over here and show you that it's on the driver's side as well so it picks up both of your voices in a perfect world let's take a look at the window sticker how much does it cost what's standard magnetic gray with black interior made in Canada this one is could be made in Japan Canada Georgetown Kentucky all right we got this right here that right there oh look at that then safety with the new 2.5 it has eight different airbags in it this is a six speaker system by the way so take a look at some of those features on your own 27 975 has no factory options underneath it so this is as it is what you see is what you get at least from the factory because we've got delivery then we've got some Port installed options on this specific one let me know if any of these are of interest to you and then we'll take it down here this will be thirty one thousand one twenty nine this one's at Fred
