The RAV4 hybrid is also available in a variety of trims, too. Although Toyota could rest on its laurels, they haven't with the current RAV4. For the 2023 model year, a new Woodland trim joins the RAV4 hybrid offerings. The Woodland trim is the RAV4's first off-road hybrid equipped with all-terrain tires, special springs and dampers.
While the competitors continue to play catch up, the RAV4 is making great strides to appeal to every demographic. The RAV4 is available as a hybrid, plug-in and gasoline model.
