The 2026 Toyota RAV4 arrives as a fully redesigned sixth generation — and for the first time, every model runs on hybrid power. With six Hybrid trims organized into three design themes — Core, Sport, and Rugged — Toyota has built a RAV4 lineup that fits a wide range of driving styles, from daily commuting through North Hollywood to weekend trips beyond Burbank and Studio City.

Each trim pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motors, producing 226 horsepower with front-wheel drive or 236 horsepower with all-wheel drive. Every model comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The differences between trims come down to features, styling, capability, and price.

Here is how each 2026 RAV4 Hybrid trim compares.

LE — Starting at $33,350

The LE is the entry point to the 2026 RAV4 and the only Hybrid trim available with front-wheel drive as standard. All-wheel drive is optional for $1,400. Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, a 10.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. The LE delivers strong fuel efficiency with a manufacturer-estimated 47 MPG city and 40 MPG highway, making it an excellent choice for drivers who prioritize fuel savings on daily commutes through Toluca Lake and Valley Village. Towing capacity is 1,750 pounds for both FWD and AWD configurations.

XLE Premium — Comfort and Convenience

The XLE Premium builds on the LE with meaningful upgrades for drivers who want more refinement without jumping to a luxury price point. This trim adds SofTex-trimmed heated front seats, a wireless phone charging pad, dual-zone automatic climate control, and upgraded wheels. All-wheel drive is available on the XLE Premium, and AWD models gain a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds — double the LE's rating. For shoppers near Sun Valley and Valley Glen looking for the strongest balance of features and value, the XLE Premium is a compelling choice.

Limited — Premium Features and Technology

The Limited is the top Core trim and comes standard with all-wheel drive. It adds a 12.9-inch touchscreen, a nine-speaker JBL premium audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic glass sunroof, and an available head-up display. The Limited also includes a hands-free power liftgate and delivers 236 horsepower with its standard AWD system. Towing capacity reaches 3,500 pounds. This trim is built for drivers who want a near-luxury experience with the RAV4's practical hybrid efficiency.

SE — Sporty Styling and Heated Seats

The SE introduces the Sport aesthetic with 18-inch black alloy wheels, black exterior trim, and a more aggressive front-end design. Inside, heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver's seat come standard. Like the LE, the SE is available with FWD or optional AWD ($1,400). AWD models produce 236 horsepower and gain the 3,500-pound towing capacity. The SE is positioned for drivers who want a sportier look and additional comfort features beyond the LE without the higher price of the XSE.

XSE — The Complete Sport Package

The XSE is the highest-content Sport trim and comes standard with all-wheel drive. It combines the SE's athletic styling with premium features including a moonroof, hands-free power liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 12.9-inch touchscreen. Two-tone paint options and up to 20-inch wheels set the XSE apart visually. With 236 horsepower, 3,500-pound towing capacity, and a well-equipped cabin, the XSE appeals to drivers who want both style and substance.

Woodland — Adventure-Ready Capability

The Woodland stands apart in the 2026 lineup with standard all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, raised roof rails with crossbars, a 2-inch tow hitch receiver, and integrated Rigid Industries LED fog lights. Ground clearance increases by half an inch compared to other trims, and underbody protection supports light off-road use. Inside, the Woodland includes SofTex upholstery, a heated steering wheel, all-weather floor mats, and a 3D Panoramic View Monitor. Towing capacity is 3,500 pounds. For North Hollywood drivers who spend weekends exploring trails in the San Gabriel Mountains or beyond, the Woodland delivers rugged capability without sacrificing hybrid efficiency.
