Toyota RAV4 faces criticism over interior design

Owners of the sixth-generation Toyota RAV4 have reported discomfort regarding the vehicle's interior design. Specifically, the center console is reportedly too wide in the area where the driver's right knee rests, particularly near the USB-C ports and drive mode selector.

Users on platforms such as Reddit have noted that the hard plastic construction of the console exacerbates the issue, leading some drivers to install makeshift pads or cushions to alleviate knee discomfort. This design choice appears to be a result of accommodating large cup holders, an armrest, storage space, and various physical controls within a compact area.

Separately, the Suzuki Across, a badge-engineered version of the Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, has been reviewed following its latest generation unveiling. The Suzuki model shares an identical cabin and much of its design with the RAV4, distinguished primarily by its hexagonal mesh grille and Suzuki badging.
