Best Looking Hybrid over 40MPG????

[TCPTX65]

My wife has a Camry Hybrid that gets over 50mpg. I like the styling of both the Maverick and her Camry.

But can the can the Camry do "truck stuff"?

Camry do "truck stuff"?

Depends on what "Truck stuff" I have to do. Haul a few bags of chicken feed - yes. Haul 25 bags of mulch - Maverick takes that win.

Nope, but it looks a heck of lot better than the Maverick.

People were always blown away with how much stuff I put in my Camry Hybrid (vehicle I owned before the Maverick BTW). I would show up to a job site, and people would be asking if I needed to borrow their tools. Then I'd open the trunk and start hauling all my gear out. With the back seat down I could put stuff in there that doesn't fit in the bed of the Maverick, without the tailgate down.

You can fit more stuff in the Camry than a Mav??

I am aware the current gen body style is from 2019. I think the body style looks very dated, blah/bland/boring.

I think this body of the Rav4 is the best one. It actually looks more like an adventure SUV. I currently have a 2018 and almost held out for the 2019 but saw one in my blue and was sucked in. Totally regret it. The new body style looks so much better and gets better mpg

I feel that the Maverick Hybrid is the best looking Hybrid over 40 MPG, EVER. Maybe the 2023 Prius will take that crown when it comes out...thoughts???

To each their own. I think it looks tired and dated, though other generations have looked worse. We'll have to agree to disagree on the esthetics of the current generation RAV4.

Ahh yes, but the RAV4 is in desperate need of a body style refresh!

Although the current generation is something like 5 years old, I think it's held up pretty well.

I suspect Toyota will update the RAV4 in '24, at which point they will probably improve the efficiency of the model even further. That's kind of what Toyota does. If the RAV4 gets a similar treatment to the Corolla and Prius, it'll definitely be a looker.

BTW, Toyota managed to sell 149,000 US-spec hybrid RAV4s in 2022, roughly double the number of Mavericks (gas AND hybrid) that Ford sold in the US.

Depends on what you mean by more. Not height wise no. Length wise with the back seats down, it gave more space than the bed of the Maverick with the gate closed. The total length of a Camry from the 2007-2010 generation I had is only 11 inches shorter than the Maverick after all. I could fit items over 6 feet long in the back of the Camry. Stuff like that in the Maverick has to be with the tailgate down, or propped up against the tailgate with the bed cover pulled back. Maverick is still way easier, and safer, to transport stuff.

Got you beat. My 07 Ford Focus wagon can haul 8 ft. lumber with the hatch closed. 10-12 ft. opened up. I get 31-35 mpg too. Not bad for a car pushing over 265,000 miles on it.

Not really, I got 40MPG with the Camry. Not in construction, so moving lumber wasn't important. If I'd had to it would have gone on the roof rack though.

My 2021 Toyota Avalon Limited Hybrid gets 45 to 50 mpg all day long, but, I wouldn't call it "good looking. However I really like the tan interior and and comfort. 21,000 miles and no recall.
My 2023 HPR Maverick gets mid 40s mpg and looks great. 5,000 miles 4 recalls and counting. Not what I hoped for. I haven't had to carry around a spare battery and or jumper cables since I was 18 and drove a '68 Dodge with 150 k miles.
