The 2027 Toyota RAV4 is destined to remain one of the most popular vehicles in America. Drivers love this SUV's efficient hybrid powertrain, legendary reliability, spacious cabin, and long list of modern features. When shopping for a new RAV4, some buyers will ultimately be choose between the LE and XLE Premium trim levels. Here's an overview of how these two trims compare.
Performance
These RAV4 trims feature the same 2.5-liter, four-cylinder hybrid engine. While front-wheel-drive models are rated at 226 horsepower, models equipped with all-wheel drive develop 236 horsepower.
Although these two trims offer the same performance, the RAV4 XLE Premium has a higher maximum towing capacity. A heavy-duty transmission cooler enables the RAV4 XLE Premium to tow up to 3,500 pounds, topping the RAV4 LE's maximum towing capacity of 1,750 pounds.
Appearance
Whether you're going to the supermarket or taking a weekend road trip, the entry-level RAV4 LE allows you to travel in style. It comes standard with multi-reflector LED headlights and full LED taillights. In the rear, a prominent roof spoiler adds even more flair. Several eye-catching exterior colors are available, including premium paint finishes such as Ruby Flare Pearl and White Chill Pearl.
While the RAV4 LE features 17-inch steel wheels with covers, the RAV4 XLE Premium steps up to an especially eye-catching set of 18-inch alloy wheels. Color-keyed side mirrors with integrated turn signals further enhance the XLE Premium trim's more upscale appearance.
Features
The RAV4 LE is a well-equipped base model, making it a strong value. Dual-zone automatic climate control allows front passengers to enjoy personalized cabin comfort, while a digital gauge cluster gives you quick access to information like driving directions and safety alerts. Another exciting feature is the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, which boasts a 10.5-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Other standard equipment includes Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, a six-speaker audio system, and cloud-based navigation.
Featuring SofTex upholstery, the RAV4 XLE Premium adds more luxurious amenities. Just a few of the niceties include a power liftgate, a wireless phone charger, and heated front seats. When maneuvering in busy areas, Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking provides added confidence.
