2025 Toyota RAV4 XLE

The 2025 RAV4 is a compact SUV that anchors Toyota's lineup, offering a choice of gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains. It goes head-to-head with the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Subaru Forester, standing out for its hybrid efficiency. The RAV4 handles confidently with a composed ride, though the gas engine can feel a bit strained under hard acceleration. Inside, the cabin is practical and well laid out, with generous cargo space and available features like a power liftgate and heated seats. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard, and the infotainment system includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The XLE sits above the base LE with added comfort features like SofTex seats and a power liftgate, while the XLE Premium and Limited above it add leather and more tech. Its 2.5L I4 makes 203 horsepower and pairs with a eight-speed automatic, returning 29 mpg combined with all-wheel drive.
