To me it looks ideal, I like the smooth lines instead of the jagged lines of the Rav4. Also it’s smaller which is nice for parking, and I don’t need a lot of cargo space, just enough to get some medium sized items in the back.

      Just so you know, the eCVT in the hybrid models has nothing to do with normal CVTs.

      I really find it strange they gave it such a name, considering the reputation the CVT as a design has.

      eCVT is probably the most reliable “transmission” you can have in a car.

      The hybrid gets you an extra 30ish horsepower and +10mpg. But AWD is standard whether or not you want it.

      The newer Toyota CVTs uses a conventional 1st gear, an advantage over any other brand.

      If you can find one hybrid is always the way to go.

      I’ve been with Toyota for almost 2 decades. That only time I’ve changed a CVT was under warranty, it had a leak that Toyota hadn’t released the seal for at the time, so warranty had us replace an entire transmission instead of changing a seal.
