Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

1/13/2025

Toyota is taking a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it approach" to the über-popular RAV4 Hybrid, which soldiers on for another year unchanged. That's not a bad thing, even if most rivals have outpaced it with up-to-date technology. The 2025 Toyota RAV4's mix of capabilities — standard all-wheel drive, punchy acceleration, 39 mpg combined, and an airy cabin with plenty of headroom and cargo space — still make it a solid pick for a compact SUV. It's also one of the more affordable hybrids in its segment in base LE trim, although we suggest selecting a version with a few more features.

Edmunds spotlight: A strong contender, but time is catching up

Many automakers tinker with their top sellers every few years to stay current. But Toyota tends to ride a winning hand as long as possible. (Witness the Tacoma pickup, which has changed just three times in 30 years.) The current RAV4 has been knocking around since 2019, a fairly extended run in the constantly evolving compact SUV class. And while the RAV4 moves swiftly off dealer lots, it's starting to show its age as rivals offer newer and more advanced tech. The touchscreen interface's software and graphics respond slowly, and the bundle of standard driver assist features, while varied and useful, lack other extras like safe exit alerts and automated parking systems that are available on rivals. These aren't deal-breakers given the RAV4 Hybrid's other strengths, only a reminder that other options are out there.

Competitors to consider

Compact SUVs are plentiful, but hybrid versions less so. The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Kia Sportage Hybrid are cut from the same corporate cloth with similar powertrains and underpinnings, and they offer plenty of standard convenience and safety features. The Honda CR-V Hybrid is a pricier rival but backs it up with loads of rear seat legroom and up to 40 mpg combined. The Ford Escape Hybrid is a budget-minded pick that delivers the essentials. And performance-oriented drivers will also want to check out the new Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. It uses the same powertrain as the RAV4 Hybrid, but the CX-50 has a more luxurious interior.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Clint Simone

Good

7.8

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7/10

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.

Interior

8/10

2025 toyota rav4 hybrid woodland edition

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 also require a reach to use.

Technology

8/10

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

8/10

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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

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.

2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid trim level differences

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is a compact SUV 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. The hybrid powertrain produces a combined 219 horsepower. Feature highlights include:

Which RAV4 Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

If we lived anywhere remotely rural, mountainous or with exciting terrain, we'd probably opt for the Woodland Edition, which gives the RAV4 a modest amount of off-road ability (namely, all-terrain tires and an off-road suspension). It also looks great with its bronze wheels and rugged design elements. But if life limits you to the pavement, the SE trim is hard to beat for overall value. It's a midtier trim that offers nice upgrades like a sport suspension, better headlights and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.

Actually love this car, with some minor complaints

MB, 02/19/2024

2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I have owned numerous Toyota trucks the last 35 years and was recently assigned a 2024 Rav4 XLE for work. I like so much about this car, let me just concentrate on the few knit-picky negatives that I have found : Off the bat, this car drives and handles amazing. The AWD is solid, the steering is tight with no play and just makes the car feel like it is solidly planted on the pavement. … A far cry from the FWD 2022 Hyundai Tucson I had been driving (bleh). The hybrid electric to gas engine is seamless, you can barely notice when the two engines stop and start. So much nicer than the newer cars that have the engine stop on you when stopped in traffic then roar back to life and briefly lag before you start driving again. I have driven this car in the dumping rain, unpacked snow and solid ice and it just does great. I will drive anywhere from 2 to 5 hours daily and the car is very comfortable on a long trip. It has great get up and go and acceleration, which is even better when dialed into "sport" mode. Great storage in the back and this model has all weather rubber material on the backs of the back seats. When the seats fold down to extend the cargo area, the back of the seats are protected from whatever wet or muddy item gets put in the cargo area. The rear seats DO NOT fold flat thought (which is a negative) so you will not be able to lay a large object flat when the seats are down and will face a little uphill bump when trying to fully load this area with cargo. One oddity- the cargo net that comes with the car cannot be used like a gate to keep items from falling out of the cargo area when you open the hatchback. It is actually a "spiderweb" hold down net that anchors to four tie downs. Great if you don't want soccer balls rolling around on the floor, or a case of soda sliding around, but that's it. The actual picture on the cargo net package shows it installed as a "gate" across the width of the opening of the hatch--- don't be fooled! The electronics are good (not great), it will support 2 bluetooth devices at the same time (I run two different phones an iphone and an android), but it is a little extended going from Carplay back to the Toyota menu to get to say the satellite radio settings. There is also no way to split the screen to have your map on and an app at the same time where maybe you are listening to a podcast and want to be able to pause, play or fwd what you are listening to or take a phone call and keep the map displayed at the same time. As much as I hated the Tucson, it had the ability to have two things on the screen at once. Another minor complaint I have is the light and dark gray seat color combo in cloth. It took only a few days for the light gray fabric (which is on the edges of the seats, including the sections right next to the cup holders) to get stained up. I recommend getting dark, one color seats if possible. Biggest complaint about the Rav4? The interior buttons and layout. The interior itself is great, leather feel surfaces, no shiny piano black plastics. It has a nice higher end and refined look and feel. The first thing I noticed is how far forward the interior door grab handles are. Going to pull the door in to shut it does not give you the proper leverage (due to the handle being so close to the hinge point of the door). Very awkward feeling and it takes some muscle to get it going and still feels off. I have had the car for 3 months and I still can't get used to the feeling. The doors themselves are actually very light feeling when you open it from the outside, obvious effort to reduce weight for fuel economy. I have not looked at the side crash data yet, but I doubt the doors offer much protection. Many controls are located to the left of the steering wheel, below the dash line and below the line of sight of the wheel. These include the light cluster adjustment, the auto dim high beam button, the heated wiper nozzle, heated steering wheel and trunk release. You really have to shift your body left and look down awkwardly to find these buttons to use them. While the speedometer is digital with a digital "needle" on fixed digital numbers, there is no option for a real time digital number speedometer readout. There is a very small digital km/hr display in the far left corner, but it is too small to be of any value and can't be converted to MPH. I would much rather have a large real-time digital speed display. Weird this isn't a programmable option. The digital display (speedometer area) is also not very functional, with the majority of the information surrounding battery and fuel consumption screens. The steering wheel buttons are also pretty small with the radio volume ones not very thumb friendly. While the temperature control knobs are nice and big round dials, the defrost, fan speed, re-circulation and vent controls are extremely small, thin, rectangular buttons all laid out in a long row very close to each other that need the tips of your fingers to activate. While it all looks very clean and minimalist, they are a pain to locate and activate while driving and keeping your eyes on the road. My last gripe would be the location of the side-by side cup holders in relation to the shifter. Any beverage in the cup holder makes you have to reach over the top of the beverage to get to the shifter which feels like it is far forward and deep under the dash. My complaints aside, I have actually recommended this model to several friends based on the comfort, handling and performance. After 5k miles, I consistently get 36 mpg with majority highway driving. If this wasn't a work vehicle, I would seriously consider getting one for myself if in the market for a small SUV.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs. Honda CR-V

Next to the RAV4, the Honda CR-V Hybrid is the biggest kid on the block when it comes to the small SUV market. It's been around almost as long as the Toyota, and it makes an excellent case for itself as an alternative. How? By offering a more modern feeling interior, a higher-quality interior, and more space not just for cargo, but a roomier back seat as well. Throw in a better driving experience and it's easy to see why the CR-V remains a thorn in the Toyota's side. Justnote fuel economy isn't quite as good as the Toyota.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs. Hyundai Tucson

If you want your small SUV to feel more high-tech, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid is worth a look. The instrument panel and infotainment display are blended into a single panel that spans the dash. Not only does it look cool, it also conveys info in a sharp and clear way that's usually associated with more expensive cars. The Tucson is also comfortable and roomy, and of course there's that long-lasting Hyundai warranty. We wish the engine had a bit more verve, but beyond that the Tucson is a solid choice.

Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs. Ford Bronco Sport

If you decide fuel economy isn't as important as you originally thought, and prefer an SUV with trail dirt splashed on the sides, the Ford Bronco Sport might be a good choice. Going beyond most other compact SUVs, the Bronco Sport can be equipped with some serious off-road gear, making it a candidate for excursions that would make its competitors quake in their all-season tires. Granted, the Bronco Sport isn't as roomy or comfortable as some others, and obviously it can't beat the hybrids on fuel economy, but if you seek adventure on less beaten paths the Bronco Sport is worth a look.
