2024 Toyota RAV4 LE

The 2024 RAV4 is a compact SUV that anchors Toyota's lineup, offered in conventional, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid forms. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, and Subaru Forester, standing out for its mix of efficiency and off-road-ready trims. The RAV4 handles with a composed, planted feel, and the hybrid's instant torque makes it the pick for city driving. The ride is firm but well-controlled, a trade-off for the sharp handling that keeps it engaging. The cabin is functional and roomy, with a user-friendly layout and generous cargo space behind the rear seats. The LE is the entry point to the RAV4 lineup, so you skip the XLE's extras like alloy wheels and a power driver's seat, but you get the same capable platform for less. This LE pairs the 2.5L I4 hybrid with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, returning 39 mpg combined. It's the rare base trim that still gets you Toyota's hybrid system, so you're not giving up efficiency for a lower price.
