This thing is sold in Oakland not in your area. and people who can really afford to park two cars inside garage will not be looking RAV4 prime.
RAV4 prime is for working class here who really need to drive alot.
not everything is captured in statistics. and surely any breakins will cost insurance rates to skyrocket into thousands not to mention waiting for glass repair.. I am not even counting cat converters theft.
Of course they will. Parking two cars inside is solidly middle class America. That said, I park three cars inside and can't afford a $100k RAV4 lol.
Most of my neighbors park in their garage, except the few with 3-4 kids & a garage full of bikes & such.
Looking at recent listing prices, these are houses in the 3-600k range.

I can assure you this RAV4 Prime sale location is not where middle class people can afford two cars inside the garage.
every market is local.
click on street view. how many garages you see and how many cars in driveway. Property tax already $30K a year. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Oakland/62...8/home/1649857

The house in the link you posted has a two car garage and no cars in the driveway so...
How we could go from a $50k markup on a RAV4 to how many cars you can park in your garage is a achievement is on its own... you guys are being played by him

According to this chart the marriage rate in California is definitely correlated to the number of Japanese passenger cars sold in the US so definitely people can afford a $100k RAV4.
The point is they have two German SUVs thats why they have 2 car garage in that area even with compromise on space at home.
for single garage family. they are not llkely buying two expensive SUVs. One will be beatup vehicles parked on the street and second one will be parked in single garage. but they will still try to save money on gas/maintaince/insurance.
Toyota Hybrids brakes last longer than non hybrid Toyotas not to mention hybrid advantage in traffic.
this has single garage. look around street view. there is no SUVs like the two car garage homes had. https://www.redfin.com/CA/Oakland/95...08/home/528249
You are making fun of plug in $100K RAV4 that will last 30 years and save countless money for owners when parked in safety of garage. People will have to make compromise for things that they actually needed.
some people do need to drive.
This car i worth the price when you compared it to competition and this is not XSE model.

Yes i am making fun of people who would spend DOUBLE of WHAT THE MANUF. is asking.
And WTF does "Save Countless money" mean? I dont care if it last 30 years.. life is too short to only drive 2 cars in your life time.. Fuck that... you can keep your RAV4 for 30 years.
Things they actually needed? NOBODY NEEDS a $100k RAV4 when you can get a $30k 4 banger RAV4. It will take you a lifetime to justify the additional $70k to spend on a RAV4 Prime.
Unlike other brands, you can't even brag about buying a $100k RAV4, because the reaction will be the same as here: "Are you that Stupid to buy a $100k RAV4?"

It is much more refined than other RAV4. so more usable to spend time in it.
The PHEV RAV4 you may not need to put fuel and oil change often. it has room mode incase you want to sleep /work/camping .
it still have incentive credit. so end price will be closer to $90K. The dealer is not stupid. he may have price slightly higher but what it brings to the table at this price. no other vehicles can do it. some people are time constrained. they cannot waste time in 200 mile range Model Y not mention no 18inch rim.

So you're saying that the German SUVs are better than the beat up Toyotas and Hondas on the road which is why they need to be garaged?

Even the LC is too expensive for what it is. Should be way less money given how old everything in it is.

It is not about better or worse. Two car garaged people in that area has certain level of income. They will not look at Toyota/Honda in majority of cases.
One Car garaged people can afford one new vehicle in majority of cases and they will likely want to save money on it and be more reliable. as there second car will be a deadbeat parked on street.
every city is different.

Ok got it. So only poor people buy Hondas and Toyotas because they cannot afford to garage a car as good as one of the German ones.
Toyota is taking the RAV4 Hybrid to a whole new level of adventure with the new 2023 Woodland Edition. Equipped with everything needed for an outdoor excursion, the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition is the first hybrid off-road special edition SUV for the brand.
The arrival of the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition to US dealerships in fall 2022 also demonstrates our support for a charitable endeavor. To support local communities and make our public lands more accessible and enjoyable for Americans of all abilities, Toyota is proud to contribute $500,000 to the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) toward improving accessibility in these beloved spaces. Through local outreach projects, education programs and accessibility improvement efforts, Toyota and NEEF will make an impact that goes beyond the pavement.
TRD-Tuned & Ready
The new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition, available in Midnight Black Metallic, Cavalry Blue and Ice Cap exterior colors, offers a distinctively rugged exterior and premium interior styling with the versatile features one would expect from the fifth-generation RAV4. Featuring a TRD-tuned suspension, the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition is engineered to enhance body control and small-bump isolation to help smooth out trails and rough city streets. Coil springs are tuned for an off-road focus and bump stops maximize compression-direction wheel travel. The twin-tube shocks feature internal rebound springs for optimal roll control and unique valving to help body control over large bumps and dips.
Designed with a focus on versatility and efficiency, the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition also comes standard with Falken WILDPEAK AT tires for optimal off-roading, raised black roof rack cross bars to pack an array of supplies for a weekend camping trip and a 120V inverter to power-up an array of compatible household items for a short day trip or an overnight camping excursion. Other mentionable standard features include:
Flow-formed Bronze-colored wheels for greater strength
Custom all-weather floor and cargo mats
Black badging
Black mud guards
Dual black chrome-tipped exhaust
And with the roominess to fit people, pets, and recreational gear - the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition also comes standard with features like LED projector-beam headlights and integrated fog lights. Handy storage abounds in the RAV4 Hybrid, including the console's large volume, side-by-side cup holders and an open tray capable of holding small items. In addition, an in-dash tray within easy reach of the front passenger can hold electronics, sunglasses and other travel must-haves. Rear seat passengers will appreciate the spacious cabin. The rear cargo area features a reversible cargo floor insert as well as side nets for storing small items. The 60/40 folding rear seats easily expand the rear cargo area.
Hybrid+AWD for RAV4 Woodland Edition
Engineered to tackle urban, suburban and outdoor adventures, the fifth-generation RAV4 is built on Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA-K) platform. With a boldly chiseled design inspired by Toyota's tough trucks, this latest RAV4 amplifies the desirable crossover traits that made the first RAV4 an instant success a quarter-century ago. Depending on model grade and options, the current RAV4 can be whatever the customer needs it to be, from the exceptionally well equipped LE model to a technology tour de force plug-in hybrid, with various levels of luxury and adventure in between.
In any RAV4 Hybrid, the Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) works in sync with the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine to make the hybrid models performance and efficiency leaders of the RAV4 family. It is truly the no-compromise compact SUV.
In the hybrid models, a Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT) is exclusively paired with an Electronic All-Wheel Drive system (AWD), making it possible to operate at all vehicle speeds. An improvement from previous generation, the rear axle motor operates proactively anytime rear torque would be beneficial to keep the vehicle on the driver's intended line, or when conditions get slippery. The AWD system uses an independent electric motor at the rear wheels, rather than a torque-distribution system in the transmission and additional driveshaft to the rear.
New to RAV4: Toyota Audio Multimedia and Gauge Cluster Tech
RAV4 for 2023 will receive some updates across all trims, as well. For 2023, all RAV4 models have the new Toyota Audio Multimedia system.
Thanks to the Toyota Audio Multimedia system designed and engineered by Toyota's Texas-based Connected Technology team, RAV4 drivers will be at the ready thanks to a wide range of enhanced connectivity and convenience features, including being Over-the-Air (OTA) updatable. Users can interact with the system through intuitive touch and voice activation controls. With the available Connected Service Drive Connect trial or subscription, drivers and passengers have access to Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation and Destination Assist. With Intelligent Assistant, simple phrases like "Hey Toyota" awaken the system for voice activated commands to search for directions, find Points of Interest (POI), adjust audio controls, change the cabin temperatures and more. Cloud Navigation, the available onboard navigation solution, utilizes the cloud to download the latest available map, traffic and routing information. To ensure users have the most up-to-date search capabilities, POI search is provided by Google Points-of-Interest data. Destination Assist also gives access to 24/7 live agent assistance to locate the next destination.
The new Toyota Audio Multimedia allows for dual Bluetooth® phone connectivity, with support for standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. With further connectivity, the RAV4 has an available Wi-Fi Connect trial or subscription that offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices - turning the RAV4 into an AT&T Hotspot. Adding to the already robust offering of audio playback ability with HD Radio®, USB data and a SiriusXM® Platinum Plan 3-month trial subscription, an active Wi-Fi Connect trial or subscription also enables the new Integrated Streaming feature, providing the ability to link separate Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions to the vehicle for onboard control.
New for 2023, RAV4 receives upgrades to both its Multimedia and Multi-Information Display screens, as well. An 8-inch Multimedia screen now comes standard on LE/Hybrid LE, XLE/Hybrid XLE, XLE Premium/Hybrid XLE Premium, Adventure and Hybrid SE, while TRD Off-Road, Hybrid XSE, Limited/Hybrid Limited, and Prime XSE now all come standard with a new 10.5-inch Multimedia display for 2023. Also new to RAV4 for 2023 is a 12.3-inch Multi-Information Display that comes standard on Limited/Hybrid Limited and Prime XSE. The 12.3-inch display is an optional upgrade on XLE Premium/Hybrid XLE Premium, TRD Off-Road and Hybrid XSE grades. A 7-inch Multi-Information Display screen is also now standard on LE/Hybrid LE, XLE/Hybrid XLE and Hybrid SE grades.
Standard Safety
The 2023 RAV4 comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, Toyota's suite of active safety systems. It includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection that features enhancements over the previous generation, including the ability to detect an oncoming vehicle or a pedestrian at intersections when making a turn. The Pre-Collision System is designed to detect vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists and provide audio/visual alerts and automatic braking in certain conditions. Emergency steering assist is an additional function designed to detect pedestrians and stabilize the driver's emergency evasive steering maneuvers and help prevent lane departure.
TSS2.5 on RAV4 also includes Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC). Lane Departure Alert is designed to notify the driver via audible alert if it senses the vehicle is leaving the lane without engaging a turn signal. When DRCC is set and engaged, Lane Tracing Assist is designed to assist the driver by providing a slight steering force to help center the vehicle in its lane using visible lane markers or a preceding vehicle.
Automatic High Beams are designed to detect preceding or oncoming vehicles and automatically switch between high beam and low beam headlights. Road Sign Assist is designed to recognize certain road sign information using a forward-facing camera and display them on the multi-information display (MID).
In addition to the TSS 2.5 system, other standard safety features include Blind Spot Monitor, which is designed to help detect and warn you of vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent lanes. Rear Cross Traffic Alert can offer added peace of mind by helping to detect vehicles approaching from either side while backing out and alerting you with a visual and audible warning. Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking is designed to provide warning and if needed, implement brake control when there's a possibility of a collision with a stationary object or an approaching vehicle while parking. In addition to TSS 2.5, the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition is equipped with Toyota's Star Safety System, which includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Smart Stop Technology (SST). Available safety technologies include Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Bird's Eye View Camera, Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) and Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB) system.
Toyota's Rear Seat Reminder also comes standard on RAV4. The feature can note whether a rear door was opened within 10 minutes of the vehicle being turned on, or at any time after the vehicle has been turned on, with a reminder message in the instrument cluster after the engine is turned off, accompanied by multitone chimes.
Toyota Limited Warranty
Toyota's 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and against perforation from corrosion for 60 months with no mileage limitation. Hybrid-related components that require repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first from original date of first use when sold as new. The HV battery is covered for 10 years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first, and is transferrable across ownership.
RAV4 also comes with ToyotaCare, a complimentary plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance, for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and 2 years of Roadside Assistance, regardless of mileage.
Sounds like their existing RAV4 TRD Off-Road trim.
What I meant were things like on the 4Runner TRD Off-Road/Pro trim. like a rear locking differential. CRAWL control. KDSS. Etc.
guess I was expecting something else based off the “off road” designation.
roflwaffles, absolutely not. No one buying one of these is going to off road it at all beyond driving down a graded gravel road. My brother has a RAV4 Adventure and it's barely different from any other one, just has a different front bumper so you don't scrape on shit and a few other cosmetic things, that's about it.
A programme of constant evolution and improvement has kept the segment-defining Toyota RAV4 at the top of its game for almost 30 years. True to its track record of regularly introducing fresh ideas to maintain customer appeal, Toyota has successfully applied its world-leading electrification know-how to deliver hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric powertrains, bringing new levels of efficiency while maintaining authentic SUV practicality and performance.
Now it is adding a new, sportier dimension to the RAV4 line-up with the addition of new GR SPORT versions.
Following the successful roll-out of the GR SPORT grades across other model ranges including the Yaris, Yaris Cross, Corolla, C-HR, and Hilux, the RAV4 gains a new styling package and handling tweaks that will resonate with customers who prefer a vehicle with sharper image.
The new grade is available for both the hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric versions with intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD-i) and takes its styling inspiration from the multiple world championship-winning success of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing.
Exterior
The GR SPORT treatment makes a bold style statement with the addition of piano black wheel arch trims, side mouldings and back door garnish. To the front there are more prominent fog light bezels with the same black G-mesh pattern as the grille and new front spoilers - finished in dark silver on the hybrid model and, with a different design appropriate to the powertrain, gunmetal grey on the plug-in hybrid. Discreet GR badging on the front grille and back door signify the sportier grade.
The new Toyota RAV4 GR SPORT is the first model to feature alloy wheels finished using a new, ultra-precise line-cutting technique. The 19-inch rims, fitted as standard, have a gloss black finish with fine bright machined pinstripe detailing that adds emphasis to their strong, five-double-spoke design.
Interior
The sporty yet sophisticated appearance carries through to the interior where the sports front seats are finished in a tactile, suede-effect upholstery with synthetic leather bolsters - materials that are free from animal products. The headrests are embossed black-on-black with the GR logo, while contrasts are struck with silver stitching on the seats, steering wheel, shift lever and gunmetal trim detailing on the doors and steering wheel. The GR logo is also featured on the floor mats and steering wheel.
The new models come as standard with the new multimedia system with 10.5-inch high-definition display and customisable 12.3-inch driver's digital combimeter that are key elements in the RAV4 upgrade for the 2023 model year. Similarly, the Toyota T-Mate safety and driver assistance features include the additional functionality of the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense. The package includes the new Emergency Steering Assist system and enhanced Pre-Collision System.
In addition, all GR SPORT models come with power adjustment for the front seats, together with memory settings for the driver's seat, as well as panoramic view monitor as standard.
Performance
The sportier looks are complemented by further improvements to the suspension for the GR SPORT model. The new stiffer springs and shock absorber settings are expected to give the Toyota RAV4 GR SPORT a handling boost and offer a more engaging driving experience.
Toyota RAV4
The Toyota RAV4 has the distinction of being the world's original recreational SUV. Its launch in 1994 created what is today one of the most popular and highly competitive market segments. The RAV4's lasting success is reflected in cumulative global sales that passed the 10 million mark in 2020, while the RAV4 continues to reign as the world's best-selling SUV.
In its latest, fifth generation, it continues to define its segment, giving customers a breadth of choice of efficient and electrified powertrains, together with the option of Toyota's electric intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD-i). As the first model to use Toyota's GA-K global architecture platform, its low centre of gravity and high body rigidity deliver significantly improved handling, comfort and generous interior space for both passengers and cargo.
