Good on gas, easy to manage and dependable.
Have driven this car for 6 years, and have never had any problems with it. We have had to change the battery once, we still have the same tires on it and everything still works great. The key fob needs a battery changed once a year, but that is the only issue.

Color, efficiency and speed.
Need an updated. It is slow but very comfortable. It is quick but needs a push from the start. It has the perfect height for the kids to jump in and out of the car. It does need an update that uses less mileage but it still is efficient. I love my car it has went through a years and it will last many more years.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Kimberlea G.

The pros to this vehicle include: lots of room to carry items (for example groceries), 4 wheel drive, 4 doors, average size vehicle, and it is a dependable family car. We have had very little maintenance on it. I like the color.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Kimberlea G.

It is getting older. The Toyota dealership near us charges a great deal more to repair this vehicle than it I take it somewhere else. It is probably more vehicle than we need since our family is growing.

How Reliable Is The 2012 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid?

It has only failed us one time but it was the battery that was not working. I had to change a flat tire once, other than that, it has been great.

Is The 2012 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid A Good Value?

My 2011 rav4 cost 24,000 dollars but it was 3 years old when we got it. I suppose a 2012 would be about $30,000. It was a good value for me.
