The Toyota RAV4 LE is the base model for this vehicle, but it’s still well-equipped with a broad range of features. As with all 2021 RAV4 vehicles, this SUV has an eight-speed direct-shift automatic transmission and a four-cylinder engine that delivers 203 horsepower. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, but all-wheel drive (AWD) is available. The LE comes standard with 17-inch steel wheels.

You’ll enjoy stability and control in nearly all conditions with Multi-Terrain Select, which includes modes for mud and sand, rock and dirt, and snow. This model gets 27/35/30 MPG city/highway/combined. LED headlights illuminate the road beautifully, while Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 provides a full suite of safety features, including:

  • Adaptive cruise control.
  • Forward collision mitigation.
  • Automatic high beams.
  • Lane-keeping system.
  • Traffic sign reader.

Many of these safety features are accessed via the 7-inch touch-screen display. The RAV4 LE comes equipped with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto connectivity, and a six-speaker sound system.

2021 Toyota RAV4 LE Hybrid

The LE Hybrid provides enhanced fuel economy with 41/38/40 MPG city/highway/combined, thanks to the hybrid 2.5-liter dynamic force four-cylinder engine. The HV electric motor provides 118 horsepower to the front and 54 horsepower to the rear. This vehicle has electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT). Electronic on-demand AWD comes standard with all-wheel drive integrated management (AIM) and a multi-information display (MID) monitor. It also offers an electronically controlled braking system.

2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE

The XLE enhances convenience for drivers with additional perks like keyless entry and ignition, start and stop engine system, and a blind-spot monitor. This option has slightly enhanced fuel efficiency with 28 MPG city rather than 27 as with the LE. Comfort increases with this trim level, thanks to a power-adjustable driver’s seat and dual-zone USB charging ports. You’ll also find additional USB charging ports so everyone in the family can stay plugged in. This trim level comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels. The LED headlights include auto on/off which isn’t featured on the lower trim. Integrated fog lights are a welcome addition as well.

While the LE offers a six-way adjustable driver’s seat and four-way adjustable front passenger seat, the XLE has an eight-way adjustable driver’s seat. The passenger seat maintains its four-way adjustability.

2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid

The XLE Hybrid offers the same mileage and engine configuration as the LE Hybrid. This trim level offers enhancements like integrated fog lights, and LED projector headlights. The eight-way adjustable driver’s seat comes along as in the standard XLE.

2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium

The XLE Premium offers a higher suspension and larger 19-inch super-chrome alloy wheels. Luxurious additions like Toyota’s SofTex simulated leather upholstery, a soft-touch dashboard, leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a power tilt moonroof make this ride exceptionally comfortable. Anti-slip in-dash storage trays and an overhead console help you stay organized on the road.

The XLE Premium also offers a power liftgate to simplify your errands. The Smart Key System, which is only available with an added package on lower trim levels, comes standard with the XLE Premium.

2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium Hybrid

This trim level features the same engine and fuel efficiency as the other hybrid RAV4s. The XLE Premium Hybrid features 18-inch super-chrome sport alloy wheels. The interior of the hybrid XLE Premium features the same upgrades as the standard XLE Premium, including the power liftgate and moonroof.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Adventure

The Adventure trim for the RAV4 eliminates some of the features found on the XLE Premium, such as the moonroof and power liftgate. It makes up for this by offering an 8-inch touch screen, fender flares, and enhanced mechanical features. As its name suggests, the Adventure is ready to hit the road and explore. Selectable terrain drive modes and hill descent control will help you navigate tricky conditions. It provides taller roof rails to help secure your gear and a mounted storage net in the cargo area.

The interior features a soft-touch dash and armrests like XLE Premium with the addition of a soft-touch door as well. The Adventure has bold orange stitching on these interior features to create a striking look. The cargo area has a 120V/100W AC power outlet to power your equipment on the road. Though this option has plenty of features, it sacrifices some in the way of fuel efficiency, with 25/33/28 MPG city/highway/combined.

2021 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road

With the Off-Road, you’ll reclaim the power liftgate and moonroof that come with the XLE Premium. The fuel efficiency is similar to the Adventure, offering 25/32/28 MPG city/highway/combined. This trim level has 18-inch black-painted alloy wheels and all-terrain tires. The suspension is tuned for off-road travel, so this vehicle can live up to its moniker. It offers a sleek look with black badging, black heated power mirrors, and integrated fog lights with black trim.

2021 Toyota RAV4 XSE Hybrid

The XSE Hybrid offers the outstanding fuel efficiency you’ve come to expect from RAV4 Hybrids. It offers 18-inch black-painted sport alloy wheels, black mirrors, a blue shock-absorber, and a distinct two-toned exterior for a flashy style.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Limited

This top trim level has the same equipment as the XLE Premium with the addition of an 8-inch touch screen, premium 11-speaker JBL sound system, and digital rearview mirror. Heated front seats will keep you cozy, while the navigation system is designed to streamline all your travel.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Limited Hybrid

The Limited Hybrid provides many of the standard features of the Limited with the hybrid engine and fuel efficiency of other hybrid RAV4s. Integrated fog lights, SofTex-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat are among this option’s notable features.
