The 2016 RAV4 Hybrid is the most efficient compact crossover in America while at the same time being the fastest RAV4. If you're RAV shopping, the hybrid model should be tops on your list.

^^^ says rav4 on the highway is one of the noisiest in its class and you can't get rear seat (center) air vents on any trim level?

p.s. in the UK, they have 5-6 month waiting list for Rav4 Hybrid... Toyota UK estimated 50% of sales will go hybrid but it is around 70% and more than they expected, so there are big waiting times right now.

The RAV4 and RAV4 hybrid are the only vehicles listed with Chinese engines.
The only other vehicle I can see with Chinese parts is a Cadillac CT6-17% and a Buick Encore -18%.

so the 'japanese' rav4 hybrid and nx hybrid use an engine built in china. where's the outrage here? 
i personally couldn't care less. it's now possible to build great quality products anywhere.

I'm starting to see a lot of the hybrid models around. I think it was long overdue.

Lexus NX is always Japanese built.
Personally, I trust them to have same quality control anywhere... Here in Europe Toyota's turkish plant usually gets the best plant awards, not British or French plants while engines are always done in Poland.

Who said anything about outrage?
I was surprised hear about it. Appears to be an industry first. My curiosity made me look into it. Anywhere it's built can have a problem. I had one of the Toyota "Sludge engines".

Pole Position
Needs more power and refinement for the next Rav4, regardless of where its built or where the engine came from. Especially for a model expected to outsell the Camry in the future.
