No significant changes for 2024
Part of the fifth Toyota RAV4 generation introduced for 2019

Overview

The Toyota RAV4 is one of the best-selling vehicles in America, and it's easy to understand why. The RAV4 is spacious, practical and available in a wide variety of trims and models to suit a lot of shoppers looking for a small SUV. Within the RAV4 lineup, our favorite is the 2024 RAV4 Hybrid.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid LE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Better mpg, and sportier too

The RAV4 Hybrid has more power than the regular model and boasts an excellent EPA fuel economy estimate of 40 mpg in combined driving. Compared to the standard RAV4, the price increase is reasonable, and the RAV4 Hybrid offers just as much cargo space as the standard version. Toyota highlights the hybrid's quick acceleration by offering it in sporty SE and XSE trim levels, and there is a Woodland Edition for slightly better off-roading capability.

Competitors to consider

This SUV is nearing the end of its current generation, and a completely redesigned version might arrive for 2025. That would ensure the RAV4 remains competitive with rivals with newer designs, including the Honda CR-V Hybrid, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Kia Sportage Hybrid. If you're interested in getting into a new 2024 RAV4, first read our Expert Rating to see our test team's full evaluation.

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid delivers where it counts, boasting a roomy interior, a smooth ride and high mpg. It's a versatile small SUV that doesn't have any major drawbacks.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the RAV4 Hybrid drive? Surprisingly swift acceleration helps make the RAV4 Hybrid kind of fun to drive. There's always enough power ready for lively slingshots around traffic, and straight-line sprints are equally entertaining. Our test vehicle did 0-60 mph in 7.8 seconds. That's more than a second quicker than the non-hybrid RAV4 and respectably quick for a small SUV.

Things are less amusing when stopping — the brakes feel mushy and devoid of much feedback — and the same can be said of the steering. Handling is also lackluster, though the XSE trim (which is what we tested) has a sport-tuned suspension that better helps the hybrid stay planted and stable around turns. All RAV4 Hybrids have all-wheel drive. It's not meant for off-roading, but it will definitely help provide more traction on snowy and icy roads.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the RAV4 Hybrid? The RAV4 Hybrid can cover long and short distances in pleasant comfort. The XSE trim we tested handled rough patches and bumps with ease without feeling overly firm or harsh. The front seats are nicely sculpted and padded appropriately, but the seat bottoms begin to feel flat on longer drives. The passenger side's lack of adjustment can also make it difficult to find a comfortable position.

At highway speeds, the RAV4 is generally quiet. The exception is when you hit the gas for a burst of speed, at which point the engine sound gets rather coarse. The climate control system regulates temps quickly and distributes air well throughout the cabin.

Build & Price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? It's easy to get in and out of the RAV4 Hybrid's front and back seats, and the roomy cabin gives four adults plenty of space to stretch out. The RAV4 doesn't feel claustrophobic, and there's good visibility in all directions. And while the rear seats are set low, the front seats are oddly high and can't be adjusted down. It can be an issue for taller drivers and front passengers.

Most controls are logically placed and easy to figure out at a glance. Unfortunately, there's still a long reach to the touchscreen. The tuning knob and buttons on the passenger side of the screen require a reach to use.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The RAV4 Hybrid has an 8-inch touchscreen standard or an optional 10.5-inch touchscreen. While easy to use, it suffers from middling performance. Load times are slow, graphics are outdated, and it requires a monthly subscription to unlock the highlight features. The standard six-speaker audio system also leaves a lot to be desired. Get the upgraded JBL system if you can.

Toyota's driver assist features are a highlight. For example, the adaptive cruise control works cohesively on the highway, both in traffic-heavy and free-flowing situations, to keep a constant gap from the vehicle ahead.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The RAV4's cargo hold is nearly the largest in its class, hybrid or otherwise, and the load floor is low and makes loading items easy. The battery pack doesn't consume valuable cargo space, and the RAV4 Hybrid offers the same luggage space (37.5 cubic feet) as its gas counterpart.

A small center console and a handful of storage nooks offer space for most small items, although a nifty tray lined with rubber grip spans the length of the dash and makes a good spot to park phones and wallets. Parents with young kids will appreciate the RAV4. It's easy to locate and connect safety seats to the lower car seat anchors. Forward-facing seats and boosters fit readily, but installing a rear-facing infant seat on the passenger side will likely require scooting the front seat up.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? You'll have a hard time doing better than the RAV4 Hybrid's EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined. (The Woodland Edition gets 37 mpg combined.) That's not only impressive in its own right, but it's also a full 10 mpg better than non-hybrid RAV4 models. We averaged 35.2 mpg during our test. While that's disappointing, we've found most other small hybrid SUVs also underperform in our real-world testing. Drive with a bit of restraint in the city and 40 mpg is within realistic reach.

Value

8.5/10

Is the RAV4 Hybrid a good value? The RAV4 Hybrid looks and feels well built. Nice tactile touches abound, such as rubberized grips on dials and soft landings for elbows. The optional synthetic leather upholstery is soft and pliable. The hybrid doesn't cost much more than a non-hybrid, and in return you get better power and fuel economy. It should pay for itself in gas savings during your loan or lease. Toyota's traditional warranty coverage is average, but the hybrid components are covered for eight years/100,000 miles. Free scheduled maintenance for two years/25,000 miles is generous.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The RAV4 Hybrid has a somewhat rugged look, but there's only so much design aggression you can bake into a crossover. Much of the fun of stabbing the hybrid's throttle for a juicy burst of low-end punch is negated by its rubbery steering, numb braking, and droning engine under high load. Still, its zippy electrically assisted acceleration and modest off-road capability make the RAV4 Hybrid a solid all-around driver.

Which RAV4 Hybrid does Edmunds recommend?

The SE is a pretty good trim level to pick for overall value. It's one of the less expensive trims but still has enough features to satisfy many small-SUV buyers. The sport-tuned suspension also provides a little more handling precision without being uncomfortable.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid models

The 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is available in seven trim levels: LE, XLE, SE, Woodland Edition, XLE Premium, XSE and Limited. All trims are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired to an electric motor and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). A second electric motor powers the rear wheels when traction is necessary, meaning every RAV4 Hybrid comes standard with all-wheel drive. Altogether, the hybrid powertrain produces 219 horsepower. Feature highlights for each trim include:

LE
The base LE is the most affordable trim in the RAV4 lineup and includes these key features:

17-inch wheels
LED headlights
Six-speaker audio system
Dual-zone automatic climate control
8-inch touchscreen display
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)

Every RAV4 Hybrid also comes with Toyota's Safety Sense 2.5 suite of advanced driver aids. It includes:

Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

XLE
Stepping up to the XLE gets you all of the LE's features, plus:

Keyless entry with push-button start
Heated exterior mirrors
Power-adjustable driver's seat
Rear seat USB ports
Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

SE
The SE serves as the more affordable of the two sporty RAV4 Hybrid trims. It includes the above features and adds:

18-inch black wheels
Upgraded projector-style LED headlights
Sport suspension
Ambient cabin lighting
Leather-trimmed steering wheel

Woodland Edition
Based on the XLE, the Woodland Edition is styled and equipped to head off-road with:

TRD off-road-tuned suspension
Bronze-color wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires
Raised roof rails

XLE Premium
Building off the XLE trim, the XLE Premium adds:

18-inch wheels
Sunroof
Power liftgate
Synthetic leather upholstery

XSE
The sportiest XSE trim builds off the SE and XLE Premium trims and adds:

Two-tone paint with black trim
Synthetic leather upholstery with cloth inserts
Heated front seats
10.5-inch touchscreen
Auto-dimming rearview mirror

Limited
The top-tier Limited trip eschews the XSE's sporty looks but keeps many of its features and adds:

Heated and ventilated front seats
11-speaker JBL audio system
Digital instrument cluster
Power-adjustable front passenger seat
Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking

Many features that are standard on higher trims are available as options on lower trims. Other notable options are dependent on trim level and include:

Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the RAV4 Hybrid and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
Panoramic sunroof
Heated steering wheel
Heated rear seats
Wireless charging pad
Hands-free liftgate
Digital rearview mirror

2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Liked its acceleration, gas mileage, user friendly infotainment cotrols, roominess, and predicted reliability. Didnt like its high price, along with dealer markups. The cabin is slightly noisey. Mileage dropped from 40 to 38mpg irreguardless of driving habits.

Sold my old CR-V and bought this 2023 Rav-4 XLE Hybrid. Amazing car. We love all of the safety features. The Apple Car Play software has worked great. No USB wires to deal with. This is a very quiet car. The motor rumble that some complain about is barely noticeable. The hybrid at 219 horsepower engine makes acceleration to highway speeds a snap. Of course the mpg is as …

Finally got my new 2023 Toyota hybrid Premium RAV4 in July. It’s a smooth ride with nice features and great gas mileage. I initially had rated it 1-star due to my new car having a fuel tank capacity issue (tank would not fill up all the way), but Toyota was able to fix the issue (entire tank had to be replaced due to a defect), so I have updated my review to 5 stars. Now that the tank …

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs. Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is a capable small crossover SUV. A hybrid powertrain is standard in the Sport, Sport-L and Sport Touring trim levels, and it offers nearly as much power as the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid along with similar fuel economy estimates. The Honda has a layer of refinement and sophistication that is missing from the Toyota, which is showing its age. However, in Edmunds' testing, the Honda fell far short of fuel economy expectations, which is a cause for concern.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs. Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

Though its styling represents an acquired taste, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is an impressive compact SUV. Based on a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Hyundai's hybrid powertrain provides a combined 226 horsepower. Unfortunately, the Tucson Hybrid's EPA fuel economy estimate isn't as high as the RAV4 Hybrid's. But with its sense of style, impressive tech, competitive cargo space, and all the perks associated with buying a Hyundai, it's worth consideration.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs. Kia Sportage Hybrid

The Kia Sportage Hybrid is a terrific value in the fuel-efficient compact crossover segment. And with 227 horsepower from its turbocharged hybrid drivetrain, it's one of the quickest hybrid SUVs in its class. Choose the front-wheel-drive version, and it earns a higher EPA fuel economy estimate than the RAV4 Hybrid. In addition, the styling is more sophisticated than rugged, and the interior comes across as more technologically advanced than the Toyota's.
