The $7000 you quote includes about $1200 to $1500 increase from going from a 2022 to 2023. The rest is going to be from the increased interest rate on your loan. I know everyone's situation is different, but what I am planning to do is take the finance rate being offered, as it is in line with what my bank is charging. Then when interest rates start declining, I will look into paying off Toyota Credit and financing with my bank.

Makes sense. I am only in dilemma to this ever-growing huge cost commitment. There will be another interest rate hike in March 2023 in Canada

I just got the call today that my XLE premium hybrid came in. Ordered end of Nov as a second order as the premium wasn't available for my 2022 xle I ordered in August. The premium came in first! Ontario

Got to drive it yesterday! It came with different rims than I was anticipating, much nicer! Score

Yes, great looking rims. Those rims are standard on the XLE Premium Hybrid as well as the Limited Hybrid. Congratulations on your new car!

The dealership finally got back to me today letting me know my Rav4 XSE with the Tech package will arrive in April.

Ordered March 10th, 2022 in Ontario

 

[Rav4LG99]

Have you received a confirmation your Rav is on the way?

I ordered a Tech XSE in March 2022 and haven't heard anything yet.

I ordered a white XSE non tech in March of last yr, they called me last week to tell me they have a silver XSE non tech coming in next month ( March ) so I took it, no eta on a white one.

 

[Hallex]

I'm cautiously enthused to see that they're starting to fulfill March 2022 XSE orders. Crossing my fingers for a call in the next few weeks.

 

[DavidLen]

Went to check out my 23 xse today and the horn sounds much better. Did they update it on the 23 models?

Can the ETA change drastically (more than +/-14 days) once the vehicle reaches this stage? Current ETA is March 31 to April 10.

No idea but it's a lot more positive then I've seen. The only thing I receive from my sales person is a generic email he sends to all his customers waiting for vehicles that says "As of today, your order remains in the cue as we await Toyota’s next factory order update. Next update to come on February 16th or 17th."

My wife just got an update says Toyota Canada provided a date of April 1 (Not sure if that is a April fools joke), but subject to change. Nothing else, so more than you got and less what 'RAV4Limited' has.

I ordered mine March 7, 2022, we will see how it goes.

Congrats! I ordered mine (XSE) May 28, 2022 so still a ways to go for me. Things seem to be going in the right direction now at least.

You will get in that ETA specified time. Good luck.
Which date and month you ordered?

This was a cancelled order, original customer ordered it June of 2022 and picked up a different RAV4 Limited sometime around November. I couldn't believe the timelines when the salesman told me considering that I was waiting since April for my original Hybrid Limited order. I explained the full story in page 82 of the post I believe there's a little more detail there.

My 2022 Rav4 Hybrid XLE in Blueprint will be arriving soon as a 2023. I will be willing to sell if anyone is interested.

Called in to place an order for xse. Dealer said there is one coming in this month end and got it allocated to me.
Had deposit on prime se at another dealer.. is it good idea to leave prime se and go with xse hybrid? Thoughts?

You just called today and they offered you a XSE Hybrid for delivery in the same month? What magical dealership was this at? And depending on when you put in your deposit for the Prime, you could probably keep the order considering it'll likely be over a year before you get it. Could decide then if you want to 'trade in' or keep the XSE at that point.

Yeah I was shocked and agreed to hold it. Luckily it was for msrp. Initially they asked 1000$ market adjustment, later agreed for msrp. One of the dealer in Alberta. I was open for cavalry blue or white chillpearl and it was white
Rav4 prime se, I placed order in October and wait time was 2 years according to dealer

It depends on how fast you want the car ultimately. If you can live with the HEV and want it now, get the HEV. If you can wait, and you believe that a PHEV will eventually materialize, you can wait. As others have noted, you may be able to drive the HEV until the PHEV is available, and maybe make some money selling the HEV used. Or the market could crash and you could lose a ton of $. Tough choice. At least if the market crashes and you can't sell the HEV, you can back out of the PHEV and maybe not loose too much (I'm not sure how big your deposit is). And ofcourse, you can buy the HEV, then buy the PHEV, then sell the PHEV and probabally not lose too much $.

In the same month? I'd being playing Lotto Max and hitting on a supermodel tonight with that luck.
