2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is offered in SE and XSE trim levels that are equivalent to the higher trims available on the gas-only RAV4.

SE
The base SE trim is well appointed with feature highlights that include:

  • Powertrain consisting of a four-cylinder engine and a plug-in hybrid system
  • Combined output of 302 horsepower
  • All-wheel drive
  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Power liftgate
  • Keyless entry and start
  • 7-inch digital driver display
  • Heated front seats
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (with wireless connectivity for both)

The SE also includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the RAV4 Prime and the car in front)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the RAV4 Prime back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot warning (monitors your blind spots for other vehicles, illuminating a warning signal on the outside mirrors)

XSE
The XSE adds several niceties, such as:

  • Two-tone exterior (black roof)
  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Sunroof
  • Paddle shifters
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • 12.3-inch digital driver display
  • 10.5-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Red accent stitching
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • 11-speaker JBL audio system

Available on either trim, the Weather package starts off the RAV4 Prime's bundled options with:

  • Sunroof (SE only)
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear outboard seats
  • Automatic wipers with de-icers

Finally, the Premium package (XSE only) rounds out the add-ons with:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Head-up display
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Household-style power outlet in the cargo area
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the RAV4 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Which RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest stepping up to the top XSE trim. It's more expensive but provides some worthwhile upgrades such as a larger touchscreen, synthetic leather upholstery and a wireless smartphone charging station.
