I've been quoted 13 months wait if i order now , for a RAV4 with the same specs like mine (Excel AWD HEV)

I was looking at the Ghost 2 and this was at the bottom of the page, looks like all the manufacturers are in trouble with deliveries.

In thanks for Toyota keeping it's word (honour and all that), I've decided to buy a Mazda CX-5. Can't wait, just a few more days.

Someone out there will get my slot in production.

Before I forget, Toyota did a new hard credit check, I have no explanation as to why it did that. I presume it might have something to do with the updated interest rate.
Still, they didn't have my approval.

Good Luck!

Yes, nothing new there. The forecast return to normality in 2023 is being pushed back to 2024…..

Guys, I am I the only one affected by this interest rate change? Update from my dealer below

 

 

If you read a few pages back youll find out that: No you arent.

 

Same here. Ordered HEV Dynamic on 24th Dec 2021, still no build yet. No delivery date estimate either and my interest rate just got put up. 

 

No idea how they prioritize orders. Surely my Dynamic would make Toyota more money, I ordered it before you yet mines build hasnt started.

Something silly going on.

Making a bold prediction that things will significantly improve in 2023.

Market is ruled by supply and demand, and where there is money to be made people usually step up to the mark

Could just be wishful thinking to speed up our order of course....

Hi folks,

So after driving thousands of miles in a rental RAV4 and being really impressed by it I was all ready to order a brand new one. However, two dealerships have told me that the JBL system and panoramic camera is no longer an option for the 2023 model in the UK. Is that correct?

As it stands, I'd rather buy a used model with those options over a brand new one even if it means losing the new instrument cluster and infotainment. Seems quite odd for Toyota to downgrade the latest model.

The Toyota UK October 2022 price list shows both options available for the 2023 PHEV

Those options no longer appear in the current (October) price list for the self-charging hybrid. So it looks unlikely that a dealer could order them on a MY23 car ... 😞

The JBL system is an alternative implementation of the old "touch and go" infotainment / sat nav system. So going forward in terms of the infotainment unit may, at least temporarily, rule out JBL and PVM ...

10 month wait but today was the day I collect my Excel 2WD HEV. ordered the Galaxy Black with protection plus pack. I am so happy and for me she is worth the wait. Hang in everyone!

Did they honour your original contract or up the interest etc..?

It’s a private lease so I don’t have interest on it. I did have a £20 a month price increase for the extra VED charge which I was told about just as arranging a collection date but after weighing up other brands and what’s around in stock as my lease had already gone back so I needed a car ASAP, I decided to accept and so glad I did.

Ordered 24 Dec 2021 HEV dynamic premium, been told that it's still Oct after being delayed from Sept. 

So frustrating seeing the MyT app every morning and seeing it still say "processing order" 

Any updates on this spec Rav ,  regards Tony

UPDATE on RAV4 PHEV Dynamic Premium - ordered March / April 2022. 
Delivery now estimated to be July 2023 (but again may change).

Dealer currently not passing on price increase in RRP to customers waiting delivery…but this might change.

Cannot guarantee exact spec of vehicle this far out from manufacture.

I guess supply chains are still not improving! Not for this particular make / model anyway 🥲.

Ah, maybe not so good news then....

This week picked up my Rav4 PHEV Dynamic and really pleased - it's as good as I remember when I test drove and ordered it in February. Dealership was also great and they/Toyota honoured original price and APR.

For anyone still waiting, It's a fantastic car and worth the wait.

Sounds like you had a good dealer who was able to keep you updated. 

Enjoy!

Just had the dealer email with an update this morning stating

"Our latest estimate is that your vehicle will now be delivered to you within the week commencing
14 November 2022. "

Obviously this is not concrete as the last update stated week commencing 17th October,    in an email from August.

I think some RAV4s will arrive from Japan during the week of 14 November. Extract below was the email dated 28 September from Toyota UK to my Dealer.

''The vehicle is still in build and due to line off this week, the UK arrival the vehicle is estimated as the 14th November''

Nice to hear for you guys.

Mine says its not even started build yet! So I doubt I'll be getting it pre-xmas.

Please those that already received their cars, what is the diameter measurement in CM for RAV4 Excel Hybrid 2022 steering?  I want to buy disklok in preparation for my car arriving but there are 3 sizes.

So between ordering my 2WD Excel and it being delivered (10 Months) it is now over over the £40K Car Tax Threshold.  I am told the value for tax is determined at the date of registration, price I bought at was £35450, not best pleased as one of the reasons I agreed to the update was I was assured that the car tax would be below the £40K
