It’s a deservedly popular choice that benefits from a huge range of configurations, decent infotainment, and lots of crash-avoidance tech. Hybrid versions are the real gems here, including the costly RAV4 Prime. Overall, the RAV4 rates 6.5 out of 10 on the TCC scale. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What’s new for the 2023 Toyota RAV4?
The RAV4 gains a new infotainment system this year, plus its collision-avoidance tech sees several behind-the-scenes changes. A new Woodland Edition trim level adds bronze-painted wheels, too.
Carried over are the rakish good looks that have helped catapult the RAV4 to the top sales position in the U.S. for the last few years. Crisp lines, squared-off wheel wells, and plenty of contrasting trim give the RAV4 a decidedly rugged appearance. It’s adventurous—if you want it to be.
Base versions use a 203-hp inline-4 that works just fine, though it could be quieter when pushed. The hybrid powertrain is the gem of this lineup, with better acceleration matched to improved fuel economy, too. Grab the RAV4 Prime—if you can find one—and you’ll find that 60 mph arrives in less than 6.0 seconds, plus you’ll have 42 miles of all-electric commuting.
Base RAV4s still average somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 mpg combined, which isn’t too bad. Prime models may qualify for some tax breaks, too.
The RAV4’s cabin is just as busy as its exterior, though it’s well-equipped if light on head room. Cargo space is good, and so is safety. The RAV4 nearly aces crash testing and comes standard with a particularly good array of driver-assistance tech.
How much does the 2023 Toyota RAV4 cost?
The 2023 Toyota RAV4 starts at $28,910 in LE trim, plus $1,400 with all-wheel drive. While not the bargain it once was, it’s still possible to find a reasonably equipped RAV4 Hybrid XLE for about $34,000.
The range tops out well north of that, pushing $50,000 in top-end Prime configuration.
Where is the 2023 Toyota RAV4 made?
In Georgetown, Kentucky. RAV4 Prime models come from Japan, however.
