So, You Thought You Bought a Hybrid?!
I think I’m utterly disappointed in my 2020 RAV4 Hybrid XLE. One, I had to order it and wait for it but now my average mileage is 27.6. I’ve been trying to drive real slow, making sure I am driving the speed limit being as economical as I can trying to get a higher MPG but no go; still at 27.4. The reason I bought this vehicle was because I’m a disabled vet and it was hard for me to get out of my Kia Niro because it’s a little lower to the ground. Because this vehicle, the RAV4 Hybrid XLE had about the same MPG as the Kia, I thought I’d get this instead. What a huge disappointment, if you’re thinking that you’re going to get 38 MPGs, it’s not even close. Skip this vehicle if you’re only purchasing it for the MPGs because you’re not gonna get anywhere close. Taking it in on Monday to see about maybe returning it because it’s the most disappointing vehicle I’ve ever driven; had it almost 24 days. The KIA Niro is a beautiful car and gets the MPG it advertises; around 46 MPGs. This one DOES NOT! False advertising at its best. I could’ve spent about $7000 less to get the regular RAV4 which gets around 27 to 28 MPG’s.
DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE PURCHASING FOR GAS ECONOMY!
