2023 Toyota RAV4 Limited

The 2023 RAV4 is Toyota's compact SUV, offered in gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid forms to suit a wide range of buyers. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Subaru Forester, and the hybrid versions go head-to-head with the Ford Escape Hybrid. The RAV4 handles with a composed, planted feel, and the hybrid's instant torque makes it feel quicker than its numbers suggest. The ride is firm and controlled, especially on TRD and Adventure trims, which is the price of its capable off-road attitude. The cabin is practical and roomy, with a straightforward layout and ample cargo space, though some plastics feel hard to the touch. Standard safety includes Toyota Safety Sense with adaptive cruise and lane-keeping, and the available 8-inch touchscreen is easy to use. Toyota's reputation for reliability carries over here, with the RAV4 expected to be a long-lasting, trouble-free companion. Strong resale values are a hallmark of the RAV4, helped by its popularity and proven durability. Stepping up to the Limited brings leather-trimmed seats, a power liftgate, and a moonroof, plus the option of ventilated front seats that the XLE Premium doesn't offer. The 2.5L I4 pairs with the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive to deliver 203 horsepower and an honest 28 mpg combined for everyday driving.
