Trim Levels Exterior
There are two trim levels available on the Hybrid model. The base model, XLE, has heated exterior mirrors, roof rails, and 17-inch wheels. On the upgraded Limited trim model, the exterior looks nicer with chrome trim and slightly larger 18-inch wheels. Toyota has positioned this vehicle as a higher-end option, comparable to luxury compact SUVs, with features that make it more appealing. But with the lower starting price, it fits into a class on its own.
Engine Power
Both the XLE and Premium trim levels feature a four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine paired with two electric motors, mounted in the front and the rear. This SUV also has a battery pack made from nickel-metal hydride, which provides power to the electric motors. When operating in conjunction with the continuously variable transmission, the ride is quite smooth and pleasant. It also produces 194 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard in average driving conditions, but the rear wheels are also powered. If the powertrain senses slippery road conditions, such as rain, snow, or ice, it will automatically engage the rear-wheel drive to improve traction.
Performance
One of the major perks of the 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is its impressive fuel economy. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the hybrid engine and hardware within the vehicle can provide up to 33 combined mpg, which breaks down to 31 mpg on the highway and 34 mpg in the city. Among other compact SUVs, this is substantially better. The only other hybrid compact SUV that can compare is the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, which doesn't have as much to offer in terms of acceleration or cabin space.
Interior
Inside the base model, the XLE, you will find dual-zone automatic climate control, driver's seat that is fully adjustable for varying heights, a sunroof, 6.1-inch touchscreen interface with Entune, Bluetooth connectivity for phone and audio, a USB port and auxiliary jack, keyless entry and ignition, and a six-speaker sound system. In the Limited edition, the touchscreen is upgraded to a seven-inch model that includes navigation, along with memory settings on the driver's seat, synthetic leather upholstery, and heated front seats. The infotainment system is also more impressive in this model, with satellite radio capabilities and smartphone app integration.
Safety Features
Standard safety features come on both options, including full-length, driver knee, and front side airbags, traction and stability control, antilock brakes, a rearview camera, and blind-spot mirror for the driver. On the Limited model, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, forward collision mitigation with automatic braking in emergency situations, lane departure warning and intervention, blind-spot warning and rear-cross traffic alerts also come standard, and these additional features are available as optional upgrades on the XLE. It also received top ratings in government crash testing, making it a safe choice for families or drivers who commute to work or school.
