electrical system shuts itself off

Pros - ["spacious interior", "looks good", "large display"]

Cons - ["electric system shuts off", "dashboard statistics hard to navigate", "hybrid mode"]

The RAV4 is a nice ride. The biggest downfall of this vehicle is the electrical system. As you drive down the road, the radio and display just shuts itself down, while driving. It affects the radio, the air conditioning/heat, and anything else that is up and running. This is clearly a defect in the electrical system, almost as if there is a short in the system. The hybrid feature is annoying. Whe...

I love my 2021 Toyota RAV4 hybrid!

Pros - ["Great gas mileage, 36-40 for a mid-size suv is great!", "Smooth ride, sounds and feels good even at fast speeds. Feels luxurious."]

Cons - ["No heated steering wheel or cooled seats.", "No birds eye view monitor, makes parking a bit difficult."]

The ride is always smooth, I love the leather seats and all the seat accents. It's very comfortable, and roomy, however the rear doors do not open very wide. There is a blind spot monitor but there is no overview Bird's Eye camera. The gas mileage is great! The lane keep assist is not as good as the one that was on my Hyundai Tucson but it does its job. Adaptive cruise control is great.
