PVM is and unfortunately never was available on the PHEV in any trim. Premium on the PHEV does however have HUD and some other fripperies.  

Oh yes it is ... check the current price list and options ... 😉

Edit: ... unless, of course, the current price list is just plain wrong ...

It is almost certainly down to the spec that they ordered vs the spec that you ordered. I spoke to the dealer whence I purchased my car and they said that cars where JBL was spec'd (Premium?) were delayed because of unavailable JBL speakers. If you didn't spec those then that particular delay would not have affected you. That will not be the only thing causing problems though.

Other manufacturers have the same issues and are changing specs to remove features that they are unable to supply.

I agree. Ordered a white Icon spec RAV4 in late January and it was available for collection late November

For those who think it is only Toyota that cannot supply cars and PHEV’s in particular, Skoda have stopped taking orders for the Octavia PHEV due to inability to meet existing orders.

As well as lots of other manufacturers and even if you can get an order, it’s likely to be not the spec you think you’d ordered.

With the HEV there never was a Dynamic Premium grade - just a Dynamic grade with a Premium pack option.

In the current (November) price list the PHEV is now available as just a Dynamic grade with a Premium pack option. If you previously ordered a Dynamic Premium, they really should be trying to order / deliver a Dynamic with the Premium pack option - that would give you the pan roof, JBL and PVM. But that might well have implications for timescale (JBL) and price since that would be an increase to the spec you originally ordered ...

Was told mine would be coming without the JBL at all.

Yes, exactly.

I understand the Premium pack on the PHEV does not include JBL which was part of the model specific Dynamic Premium. However I have No idea if HUD is still part of it?

As mentioned earlier, according to the current price list the Premium Pack includes pan roof, JBL and PVM:

Of course that may be 'wrong' or apply only to orders currently in progress since as far as I can tell one can't presently order a PHEV at all ...

I"m currently in New Zealand and I think that I have discovered why there are such long lead times for new RAV4s in the UK - they are clearly all going to New Zealand!  Whilst the current model is still quite a rare sight on UK roads, they are everywhere over here!  All right-hand drive too.  Maybe I ought to just bring one home with me...

[Flatcoat]

I am sure I read the RAV is one of the best selling cars in Australia too.

Probably because Australia and NZ don't obsessively faun over VW group and  luxury German and JLR cars to the exclusion of all else.

Worldwide the Rav4 PHEV consistently gets in the top billing, yet barely gets a mention in the UK motoring press. Reliability and engineering being more important elsewhere than the blingy badges so popular in the UK. So if Toyota doesn't prioritise the UK then its probably understandable.

Last time I checked I don't think NZ have the Rav4 PHEV  model yet and OZ said they had no plans to import the PHEV. I suppose a bit like Toyota  UK  deciding not to supply the UK with the Prius PHEV.

No, I don"t think that there are any PHEVs over here, which seems strange as the local, generally short-distance driving suits electrification probably more so than in the UK.  Certainly, there are an awful lot of Teslas running around here.

I’m in a similar situation, ordered a RAV 4 Excel on the 18^th October expected date for delivery was April 2022 but I have nothing showing in the My T app.

[richie69]

Update on mine: Ordered Feb '22, original ETA September '22, now the ETA is April '23. Yesterday I got an email that the "factory has gotten my order" and the status is "waiting for production", even though in the MyT app the status has been like that from the start. Interestingly though there seems to be additional info on it now about the manufacturing facility (Toyota City, Aichi) and about the seaports on the way (fex.  Zeebrugge, Belgium) that wasn't there before. The car might be now on the factory's production schedule, can't think of any other reason why these things happened.

You can't compare it to the UK models, they seem tweak the accessories between market areas somewhat. I went thru the UK brochure and seems my model is between Dynamic and Dynamic premium in some sense. My model is one down from the premium model, that has basically everything except the pano foor which is the only optional accessory on that trim level. The stuff missing compared to the premium are: 360 camera, automatic breaking while parking, 19" wheels, Bi-Tone color, ventilated front seats, drivers seat with memory function, electronically adjusted passenger seat, ****f Switch steering wheel.

I hope that's a typo for roof and not floor

Definitely would not want that. 🤪

Copied from BG runaround thread but also relevant here:-

Charger now installed and working very well (albeit on a Tesla). I paid extra to have the charger located discreetly, and also had a surge protection device fitted (not sure whether that was needed tbh)….the good news is, it’s 4X faster than using a 3-pin socket.

The engineer did mention that he’s doing a few Toyotas of late…one customer who ordered a PHEV in January has just taken delivery this week….🤞things are starting to move now!

Positive news for you! Ordered mine 24th Dec 2021. So over a year ago now. Still no info and no further ETA than "maybe june" 

 

Very frustrating.

Happy new year to everyone. My hybrid rav4 has been manufactured and is waiting to be shipped, does anyone know how I can see when it will arrive in Greece? (when does someone leave general information) here we don't have the myt application so I can see it, thank you!

You may be able to track your delivery through the My Toyota website (for Greece) if such exists. Either way, your dealer should be able to tell you where the car currently is and how to track it (if that is possible).

thanks philip42h :-))

Not sure how accurate the website is (howmanyleft.co.uk), but shows no new RAV4 PHEV’s have been taxed in the last 6 months of 2022, for all three varieties…Design, Dynamic and Dynamic Premium!

 

That’s one hell of a bottleneck if true….

[FROSTYBALLS]

Usually 'how many left' are 1-2 quarters behind. The screen you attached is for vehicles taxed - not new registrations. The new registrations tab shows that 660 Dynamic PHEVs were first registered in 2022, but the site doesn't indicate whether this was for the full year, or how many quarters the 660 relates to.
