Used 2023 Toyota RAV4 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Toyota RAV4 is available in six trim levels: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road and Limited. All come with a 203-horsepower four-cylinder engine paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on most of the trim levels, with all-wheel drive offered as an option. The Adventure and the TRD Off-Road come standard with an upgraded all-wheel-drive system that can enhance traction on loose and slippery surfaces. Standard feature highlights include:

LE
Starts you off with:

  • LED headlights
  • 17-inch wheels
  • 8-inch touchscreen interface
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)

    • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
    • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the RAV4 and the car in front)
    • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
    • Automatic high beams

XLE
Adds more convenience features such as:

  • Slightly raised suspension
  • Sunroof

This trim goes without the sunroof and power liftgate but adds some off-road appearance and mechanical elements that include:

  • Fender flares
  • Taller roof rails
  • Selectable terrain drive modes
  • Hill descent control

TRD Off-Road
It gets the sunroof and liftgate back and adds more capabilities with:

  • 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires
  • Off-road-tuned suspension
  • Unique black trim elements and interior trim
  • 10.5-inch touchscreen

  • Digital instrument panel
  • 10.5-inch touchscreen
  • 11-speaker premium JBL audio system

Some features are available as options on supporting trims. Other notable options are dependent on trim level and include:

  • Surround-view parking camera system (gives you a top-down view of the RAV4 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)

Which RAV4 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the XLE Premium trim. In addition to all of the features found in the supporting LE and XLE models, you get some desirable updates that include a power liftgate, a sunroof and synthetic leather upholstery.
