2021 Toyota RAV4 Trim Levels

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 is one of the most anticipated SUVs because of its adventure-ready design and Toyota's commitment to safety. Drivers can choose from six available trim levels in the Toyota RAV4, with each one of the RAV4 configurations offering its own benefits. Here are a few of the top RAV4 model differences:

LE

While the RAV4 LE might be the standard trim level, it still offers plenty of comfort and technology features. Drivers can expect 17.0-inch, six-spoke wheels, which will give you plenty of good traction. Multi-LED headlights light the road ahead while giving the RAV4 a sporty look, with a black bezel design. The LE also comes with LED daytime running lights and taillights. The design of the exterior flows nicely, with a color-keyed front and low bumper. Roof rails are standard on all trim levels, adding to your adventurous drive. 

All 2021 RAV4 models also come with 60/40 split-folding seats, perfect for your sporting or camping equipment. Find your way with the 7.0-inch driver infotainment system, which can be paired with your smartphone. RAV4 drivers can enjoy a long list of standard safety features, including the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 and the Star Safety System. All trim levels also come with a backup camera.

Powered with a 2.5-liter engine with a dual-valve injection, even the LE can keep up with you. A hybrid option is also available in the LE and is equipped with numerous drive modes, including Normal, ECO, EV, Sport, and Trail.

XLE

The RAV4 XLE is the first upgrade available configuration on the new RAV4. While a climate control system with dust and pollen filters improves the air quality in all trim levels, the XLE comes with a dual-zone automatic climate control system. Drivers also receive sun visors with sliding extensions to block out more of the sunlight on your commute. Keep your cargo area cleaned with a standard tonneau cover. XLE drivers also enjoy more passenger connectivity with five USB ports throughout the interior cabin, as well as a 12-volt auxiliary power outlet. 

The XLE comes with slightly upgraded 17.0-inch, five-spoke wheels. A smart key system is available on the XLE and higher trim levels, offering a power-activated lift gate and push-button start system. The XLE has an optional upgrade of an 8.0-inch driver infotainment system. With the same standard safety features, the XLE will keep you and your passengers safe. XLE drivers also have the optional upgrade of the backup camera with added dynamic grid lines. The blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert is also standard. 

Powered with the same 2.5-liter engine, you can expect similar power capabilities, but with the addition of a start-stop system.

XLE Premium

The XLE premium features a few design and functionality upgrades. It comes with multi-LED headlights, but instead of the black bezel design on the previous trim levels, it features a bold, chrome design. The XLE also comes with upgraded interior comfort features, like heated power mirrors and a luxurious power moon roof. On the exterior, you can take advantage of more traction with larger, 19.0-inch wheels. An adjustable liftgate is also available, making it easier to load and unload your cargo.

Two engine options are available in the XLE Premium, which include the same 2.4-liter engine, or a hybrid option. Exclusive to the XLE Premium is also aerodynamic underbody panels.

Adventure

Set yourself apart from other vehicles on the road, or even other RAV4s on the road, with the available two-tone exterior color patterns, only available in the Adventure and Off-Road trim levels. The Adventure trim level features its own exclusive branding and SofTex-trimmed seats with orange accents. It also features an 8.0-inch driver infotainment system with smartphone connections. 

While all trim levels are designed for adventure, the Adventure trim level comes with unique raised roof rails to accommodate more cargo. RAV4 Adventure and higher trim levels come with improved performance features, like active grille shutters and an aerodynamically designed underbody. Rain-sensing windshield wipers are available on the Adventure. Powered with the same 2.5-liter engine, the Adventure is the first trim level to offer all-wheel drive.

Limited

Drivers will feel the upgraded luxuries of the Limited RAV4 configuration. You can sit back and enjoy the comfortable ride with SofTex-trimmed, heated, powered, front seats with eight-way memory settings. A Qi-compatible wireless charging pad is available in the Limited and Off-Road trim levels. The Smart Key System is also available. You have more storage capabilities with a center console that includes covered, securable storage compartments throughout. 

Of course, you get the same safety features that are available in all trim levels, but a bird's eye camera with perimeter scan is also available in the Limited trim level. Integrated fog and LED lights give the Limited a unique look, along with good visibility.

TRD Off-Road

The TRD Off-Road is the highest trim level upgrade available with the 2021 RAV4. It comes equipped with many off-roading features, like 18.0-inch wheels, integrated LED fog lights, higher roof rails, a unique split guard in the upper grille. An upgraded navigation system is also available, helping you find your way when off-roading. The power moonroof gives you a breath of fresh air, wherever the road takes you. The TRD is the only trim level with upgraded, premium, SofTex-trimmed seating with bold red accents. Heated and ventilated seats are also available, but do not come standard. 

You will easily recognize the TRD Off-Road with its special RAV4 and Off-Road badges. Powered with the 2.5-liter engine, it offers 203 horsepower with 184 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard on the TRD Off-Road and front and rear parking sensors are available.
