The Toyota RAV4 has been around for almost 30 years now, and it continues to be one of the most popular vehicles in the entire Toyota lineup each year. People appreciate both the practicality and the efficiency of every new release of the RAV4.
The 2023 model is going to continue this tradition by providing you with more of the things that you have come to love about this SUV while also adding a few new features into the mix to help make the 2023 Toyota RAV4 the best one ever created. The team at Koons Tysons Toyota have put together this guide to help you learn more about the 2023 Toyota RAV4.
Trims
Over the years, Toyota has expanded the number of trims it offers for the RAV4 to make sure that there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a reliable SUV that you can use for your work commute in and around Vienna, Virginia, or a more heavy-duty SUV that you can take on off-roading adventures, Toyota has you covered. The trims available for the 2023 Toyota RAV4 include the following:
- LE.
- XLE.
- XLE Premium.
- Adventure.
- Limited.
- TRD Off-Road.
The XLE Premium might prove to be the best choice for many people, as it offers a wide range of excellent standard features that include 19-inch wheels, faux-leather upholstery, a power liftgate, and more. But you can’t go wrong with any of the 2023 Toyota RAV4 trims. It’s all about finding which one complements your lifestyle.
Exterior
The Toyota RAV4 has always had a sporty and fun look, and that remains the same with the 2023 edition. But the latest incarnation also has a ruggedness to it that hasn’t always been found in previous RAV4 models. The higher-level trims look exceptionally rugged, which makes sense when you consider that they’re designed for off-roading. There are also a lot of optional features that you can add to the 2023 Toyota RAV4’s exterior, including running boards, door sill protectors, and mudguards, so you can customize your SUV to your liking.
Engine
No matter which Toyota RAV4 trim you decide to invest in, you’ll get access to the same great engine. The 2023 model comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that can produce up to 203 horsepower. It pairs nicely with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and you’ll get to choose either the standard front-wheel-drive system or an optional all-wheel-drive system. When it comes to fuel economy, the 2023 Toyota RAV4 gives you about 27 mpg when driving around the city and 35 mpg when cruising on Virginia highways.
Interior
The practicality of the Toyota RAV4 really stands out on the interior of the 2023 model. Although some of the lower-end trims have only the basics, such as cloth seats, the middle and top trims step it up a notch. As you explore the different trims, you’ll find lots of great options, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a dashboard that’s both stitched and padded to make it stand out.
In the back, the rear seats are amazingly easy to stow away, and doing so will provide you with plenty of cargo space. Under normal circumstances, you’ll get about 37 cubic feet of room in the back, but you can bump that all the way up to 69 cubic feet of cargo space once the rear seating is stowed. This will give you ample room for sports equipment or luggage for weekends away.
Technology
You won’t notice too many differences between the 2022 Toyota RAV4 and the 2023 Toyota RAV4 on the inside, but one significant change comes in the form of a larger infotainment system screen. The 2022 Toyota RAV4 only had a 7-inch screen in it, whereas the 2023 model now comes standard with an 8-inch screen. You’ll also have the option to increase this to a 10.5-inch screen in some of the top trims. Each of these screens comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability so you can connect your device for music or navigation.
You’ll also have the chance to incorporate other optional tech features into the mix inside a 2023 Toyota RAV4. These include a JBL premium audio system, a navigation system, and even a wireless charging pad for your phone so you can power up without any annoying cables.
Safety
Safety is something that Toyota has taken seriously for a long time now, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise to see that the 2023 Toyota RAV4 comes with its fair share of standard safety features. You’ll get immediate access to technologies that include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane departure warning with lane-keep assist. It even comes standard with adaptive cruise control, which is only an optional safety feature in many of the RAV4’s closest competitors.
MSRP
Even with all of the many features found in the 2023 Toyota RAV4, one of the things people will like most about the latest model, as they did with the previous versions, is that it isn’t going to break the bank. The 2023 Toyota RAV4 starts at a mere $29,310, and even if you decide to go all out with the highest trim, the TRD Off-Road will only set you back $38,930. This is a relatively small price to pay for one of the most well-respected SUVs out on the road today.
