Trim Levels and Features

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 is a midgrade exclusive available in both XLE and Limited trim levels. While both share the green powertrain and smooth performance, they offer a different package of amenities. Here is what makes each trim stand out:

The XLE Hybrid has tons of standard and optional features that any driver can appreciate. The XLE Hybrid has projector beam headlights that automatically turn on and off. Models have the option for a camera with parking assistance that uses sonar detection and camera guidelines to steer you in the right direction. Passengers can stay comfortable with dual temperature control. Add optional Entune Premium Audio with Navigation for excellent sound and directions at the touch of your fingertips. Models come wrapped in SofTex cloth with sporty seating.

The Limited Hybrid trim adds a few extra luxuries to your eco-friendly commute. The Limited Hybrid comes with LED daytime running lights and LED projector beam headlights for excellent visibility on dark roads. Available Entune can be used with an App Suite to access your favorite apps with ease. The standard Bird's Eye camera provides a thorough view of your surroundings to guide you through any environment. Ride tall on 18-inch SuperChrome alloy wheels and enjoy the power outdoor mirrors with heating.

Hybrid Performance

The 2016 RAV4 Hybrid has a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine that generates 34 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. This dynamic engine features one electric motor per axle with a continuously variable transmission. It creates 194 net hp with VVT-i technology. This high-tech powertrain delivers a more powerful experience with tremendous acceleration. The RAV4 Hybrid also features ultra-low emission rates, an eco-friendly choice for both you and the environment. Electronic All-Wheel Drive makes handling easier than ever before. If freezing temperatures hit, the engine is backed by a battery and a heavy duty engine temperature control to function on even the snowiest days.

Dashing Appearance

The 2016 RAV4 Hybrid shares many of the stunning design qualities of the gasoline-powered RAV4. From nose to tailgate, the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid presents a streamlined look. Both front and rear fascias and the tailgate have been updated for a fresh appearance. Finally, the rocker panels have been restyled for convenience. From the updated exterior features to the new 17-inch wheels, you will enjoy miles of smooth driving in this refined SUV.

While the RAV4 Hybrid commands attention, it also preserves your privacy. This SUV features privacy glass in the rear and on the liftgate window. You can expect a quiet and relaxing cabin from the acoustic windshield.

Tech and Safety

There is plenty of technology to enjoy within the state-of-the-art RAV4 Hybrid. The 4.2-inch TFT Multi-Informational Display will inform you about fuel economy, trip distance, energy monitor, warning messages, and much more. Are you always looking for spots to charge your electronic devices? Models come with three different 12-volt power sources. Two of them are located in the front cabin for easy driver access, and one is found in the back of the cabin for passengers to enjoy. There is also a standard USB port for greater connectivity.

As for safety, the steering wheel comes with Bluetooth for hands-free phone and texting controls. These systems can be used with simple voice commands for extra convenience while driving. Models also include the following:

• Advanced stability and traction system

• Brake-force distribution and Brake Assist

• Trailer sway control
