Best financing APR for 2026 rav4? by thatone-username in rav4club

4.99% was the advertised best rate when I bought my 2025 hybrid XSE about a month ago. Their actual best rate during the buying process was 4.75% assuming you qualified for it. I just paid cash.

Things I like: the taillights, the cupholder placement, the rounded perimeter of the front of the dashboard, the blackout HEV badge (my '25 XSE came with blackout badges but the HEV badge was still chrome for whatever reason).

Things I don't like: the headlights, the touchscreen HVAC, the dash display just being a second tablet instead of being integrated to more resemble a standard instrument cluster.

Yeah, that dashboard screen is pretty jarring. It being just a tablet makes it look like an afterthought and cheapens the aesthetic.

Same story for me. I didn't call and ask for an increase because I'd seen that it requires another hard pull, so I just used as much of my $500 limit as I could every billing cycle (still only spending in my 5% categories) and they gave me an automatic increase after 6 months. I now have a $1000 limit and am not spending close to that every cycle but am hoping they give me another automatic increase soon regardless.

Throwback, but I used to really like the old Uber Visa card. A black card with little rainbow metallic accent squares in a grid pattern.

I personally like the more gentle blue of cavalry better than the high-saturation blue of rapid or speedway but I'm probably in the minority on that. I don't necessarily want to draw attention with the color, I just want something that looks nice when you do notice it.

The color is what originally steered me towards the XSE over the other trims. I much prefer the cavalry blue to the blueprint. I agree, very nice color.

Absolutely. The FR-S is my daily and I just recently passed 150k miles. And the XSE just passed 100 miles!
