This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2022 Toyota RAV4 compact SUV. The Toyota RAV4 gets a few updates for 2022; we’ve got the Hybrid XSE model to review. What’s new? Select trims of the RAV4 get new wheel designs, a new Calvary Blue colour which you see in the pictures, XLE models and above get new headlamps both for style and capability improvement and LED fog lamps are standard on XLE Premium, Limited, Trail/Adventure and TRD Off Road models. Toyota has added a new SE Hybrid trim that slots between the XLE and XSE trims for a more affordable hybrid option at $38,150 CAD/$31,730 USD. It’s similar to the XSE model with a sport-tuned suspension, black accents and black wheels but it has less features compared to the XSE model. The RAV4 Hybrid offers a ground clearance of 8.1”, the same as the new bZ4X but less than the RAV4 gas model which has 8.3” to 8.5” depending on the trim you choose. We love this blue and black colour-combo on our XSE test model with body-coloured door handles, projector LED headlights, vertical LED accent lights and 18” black wheels, standard 17” wheels. The technology package for $4,200 CAD has been added to this trim, which includes, a wireless charger, 11-speaker JBL sound system, 9” touchscreen, driver seat memory and a panoramic view monitor. There are plenty of trims to choose from, you’ll be able to find one that fits your budget. The base trim comes with plenty of standard features including, a 7” touchscreen, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 6-speaker audio system, heated front cloth seats and blind spot monitoring and rear-cross traffic alert. One reason to buy a hybrid is for its excellent fuel economy and this RAV4 doesn’t disappoint getting 5.8L/100km, 41 MPG in the city and 6.3L/100km, 38 MPG on the highway. The RAV4 Hybrid starts at $33,350 CAD/$29,075 USD, XLE $36,350 CAD/$30,545 USD, XLE Premium $33,435 USD, SE $38,150 CAD/$31,730 USD, XSE $40,790 CAD/$35,055 USD and Limited $44,650 CAD/$37,575 USD.
