Hi,

What are you all getting for MPG with the AWD model? I rented a FWD one for two weeks and was getting an average of 40 MPG after driving mostly on the highway for two weeks but the rating is only 32.

Thanks!

If I were to turn my AWD off will the AWD come on when it detects rear wheel spin? or do I have to lock it to AWD and turn it back on to get it to come on thanks

Probably not. The AWD comes on automatically when traction is needed, only if the AWD is left turned on. When turned off, I don't believe it will come on.

Is there a center diff lock option as well similar to the rav4? This is to lock all 4 wheels going the same speed.

Hello, I have a 22' LE with 4,800k on it, and I'm averaging 26 MPG around the city. When I get to the highway I can get about 34 MPG. Any advice or input on how to improve my MPG? I think 26 in Los Angeles city is horrible. One of the main reasons why I got this baby was the mpg estimates

Have 23' LE FWD same km's. Getting 32 city, eco mode and turning off auto start/off. Toronto. Drive cautious but get a harsh accel or harsh turning notification once every few trips from the Toyota app lol.

I am in LA city as well, I agree. My freeway drive is great, but definitely not in constant stop/go traffic.
