Hybrid Efficiency

Drivers looking for a compact SUV that prioritizes fuel efficiency have found it in the RAV4 Hybrid. Power isn’t sacrificed in the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. The RAV4 Hybrid delivers up to 219 combined net horsepower.

Five different drive modes help you make the most of your RAV4. The EV mode lets you maximize your fuel efficiency during short trips by pulling more power from the battery. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the trail mode’s ability to provide improved traction. Additional modes include normal, sport for increased acceleration, and eco to reduce acceleration and prioritize fuel efficiency.


The 2023 Model Has an Infotainment Upgrade

Every RAV4 comes with Toyota’s newly updated user interface. The infotainment system comes standard with over-the-air update capabilities and now includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Drivers can interact with the touchscreen through touch, sight, and voice recognition.

The standard touchscreen in the entry-level Hybrid LE is an eight-inch display. It’s paired with six speakers for excellent sound quality and includes a three-month SiriusXM subscription to the Platinum Plan. Some of the higher trim levels, like the XSE, come with a 10.5-inch touchscreen. These higher-trims have the option to upgrade to an 11-speaker sound system from JBL.


Exploring the New Hybrid Woodland Edition

Outdoor enthusiasts will want to take a much closer look at the new Woodland Edition for 2023. This hybrid SUV is designed for camping trips and off-roading adventures with electronic-on-demand all-wheel drive. Seeing ahead in any condition is made easier thanks to integrated LED fog lights. Unique raised black roof rails paired with cross bars create a space for storing your outdoor equipment.

The Woodland Edition adds features to improve performance, like a TRD-tuned suspension kit for a smoother experience as you travel rough roads. Skid plates and mud flaps better protect the vehicle from gravel while your all-season Woodland Edition floor mats protect your vehicle’s interior surfaces. A sportier exterior includes unique black RAV4 badging and adds 18-inch six-spoke bronze-colored alloy wheels with all-terrain tires.
