It looks like the PHEV has got the upgrades, despite Toyota representative saying otherwise.

Are there any other possible changes apart from the lights?

So I had an email from Toyota last night saying my black edition is cancelled - quote:

"Your order for the Toyota RAV4 Black Edition was cancelled as we have been unable to fulfill any orders due to levels of stock. The RAV4 is an extremely popular model and, unfortunately, all available production space for UK orders have already been taken"

Phoned my dealer this morning who assures me my order is still live, no problems and to expect delivery May/June.

Might just flip a coin at this stage .... 😉

Looks like I just missed out by a month….. however mine has the illuminated window switches…. And yes, it looks bl88dy good. I parked next to my boss’s white one (a 2wd mid range HEV) on Monday and he was a bit jealous he hadn’t gone for a more blinged up spec.

Contact Toyota and explain about the dealer saying the order is still live, they will probably then contact them directly. It also may be a good bargaining chip to get some discount if you choose a different model.

Just found a photo I took of the front end of the car when I picked it up, editied the dealer out of the shot. Just to clarify the ‘21 front end.

Not sure of the equipment level that is on the PHEV, one change could be the fitting of usb-c connection and some of the lights being changed to led ones and some electric adjustment on the passenger seat.

How about the roof console? Are those buttons lit now and can you tell if they're led's fitted on the interior now?

That's a good point, has it got adjustment on the passenger seat? 🤔 

[Flatcoat]

My 21MY PHEV has passenger seat electric adjustment….. 

[Vainona70]

The online PHEV brochure says it was published in January 22, so should now clarify the specs. Not sure when this was updated online. I'm just a HEV wannabe 3 months into a 9 month wait for delivery...

Although the SE trim in the US is slightly different to the Design model, it does appear that all ‘prime’ models have the powered height adjustable seat. 
 

Would love this confirmed, as the brochure for the 21 model doesn’t say this is standard on any trim.

Having been 'in transit' to Derby since 19th January, my car is now shown as 'arrived at dealership' today. That's despite the JSON data showing delivery as 10th March for the last few weeks.

I'm a happy bunny. The dealership emailed a list of possible registrations today and new 22 reg.no. chosen.

I'm looking forward to collecting it in the first week of March after a five and a half month wait.

You could be the first on here with a MY22 HEV model, so if you go to the dealer for early peek, a few pictures would be appreciated.

Both my 2019 and 2021 Excel have Brown trays.

Didn't know 2wd only get cheapy drive mode buttons and not the nice colour changing glowing knob you get in the 4wd.

[Catlover]

I like the brown interior, and the shiny silver wheels.

Just the one I'm waiting for. Build in progress for 5 days now on MyT. Who knows when it will arrive, anytime between April and June, dealer calls monthly but I think they just sit and throw darts at the calendar 🥱

[Bolt13]

Placed my order for Black Edition on 14th September 2021.

MyT still says ‘Processing order’.

Not heard a sausage, so phoned dealer last week ….. nothing to update!  No ETA at all and dealerships not even taking orders anymore.

The Black Edition isn't being carried forward as part of the MY22 range, which is why no more orders are being taken. Toyota have said they will honour existing orders.
