2023 Toyota RAV4 Review| Hybrid Woodland and EV Explained
Toyota likes to be first, and that’s what’s happened with the 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition. It is the first true hybrid off-road SUV, an important part of the all new 2023 Toyota RAV4 lineup.
The fact that this special edition is part of the popular and exciting RAV4 family is definitely a plus. Car and Driver has named both the regular and hybrid RAV4 to its Editor’s Choice list.
In this 2023 RAV4 Review, you’ll learn about Toyota Safety Sense, the newest dash tech upgrades, trim levels, and other aspects of the RAV4 lineup. Keep scrolling to find the details that matter most to your lifestyle.
Multimedia Technology
All RAV4 editions have upgraded dash technology. The new standard is an 8-inch multimedia screen with a 7-inch or 10.5-inch multimedia display. The Limited and Prime XSE editions have a 12.3-inch multi-information display.
The new multimedia system has intuitive touch and voice activation controls. It can connect with two phones via Bluetooth. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto expand what it can do with the owner’s smartphone apps. Toyota is one of the few brands to include audio playback with its HD Radio.
WiFi 4G connectivity is available with a subscription. This allows the driver to utilize their Apple Music or Amazon Music subscriptions via streaming. There’s also a subscription based Cloud Navigation system with over the air updates to keep it current.
Drivers can simply say “Hey Toyota” to start a process. Then they can ask to turn the audio up or down, change the temperature, or search for directions.
Interior Quality and Spaciousness
As the entry level RAV4, the LE model is the most affordable. Yet it comes packed with dash tech, driver assistance, and high quality interior details. Second-row air vents make sure the backseat passengers enjoy the air conditioning.
The stylish cabin has an ample 98.9 cubic feet for its passengers. This allows the second row to offer 37.8 inches of legroom.
Large and spacious, the cargo hold measures 37.5 cubic feet. It’s easy to load with its low floor and available power liftgate. The total area, once the second row is folded, is 69.8 cubic feet.
XLE and Limited Models
XLE trim levels add more tech toys such as dual-zone automatic climate controls and push button start. There are more USB ports and illuminated switches.
XLE Premium models have a padded dashboard with decorative stitching. Faux leather covers the seats in softness. A moonroof helps open up the cabin with natural light. Phoenix shoppers are always happy to know they can add ventilated seats to this package.
Combining higher quality style with more amenities, the Limited trim level adds color with blue ambient lighting. There are dark brown interior accents for more visual interest. Drivers enjoy an 8-way power chair.
Offered with the gas engine only, the 2023 Toyota RAV4 Adventure is trimmed in orange stitching whereas the TRD Off-Road models wear racy red stitching. Upholstery is a lush SofTex leatherette.
Hybrid Woodland Edition and Other Hybrid Exclusive Choices
The first hybrid edition of the RAV4 for off-roading, the Woodland has a distinctive look. Available in three colors, it is recognizable by its star-like bronze wheels, thicker roof rack, and distinctive exhaust tips. It also has mud flaps and special badging.
Special equipment includes a TRD suspension with its specially tuned springs and shocks. The all-terrain tires are Falken Wildpeak models that assist this hybrid as it takes on its role as a true recreational activity vehicle (RAV). The interior is ready to get dirty. It has rubber all-weather mats to take care of muddy days.
Gas and Hybrid Performance
With the regular four-cylinder engine, the driver commands 203 horsepower. Toyota uses an 8-speed automatic with Direct-Shift technology. The EPA fuel economy is an estimated 30 mpg combined. The SUV can tow 1,500 pounds.
RAV4 Hybrids have electric motors to assist the Dynamic Force Engine. The electronic all-wheel drive system reacts in real time to slippery surfaces. It is a definite asset if you take the Woodland Edition off the road. Hybrid fuel economy is 40 miles per gallon combined.
The hybrid powertrain actually produces more power than the regular gas engine. With both electric and gas power, it creates 219 horsepower. Ground clearance is 8.1 inches.
With the plug-in hybrid, the RAV4 Prime has a 42-mile electric range. It also has excellent gas mileage, earning as much as 94 miles per gallon. Even better, output is 302 horsepower. Shoppers can apply for a federal tax credit to defray the cost of this electric ride.
With all-wheel drive, ground clearance is 8.6 inches. Advanced terrain management is an excellent tool for the trail. The hill descent control regulates downhill travel. RAV4 Hybrids have an electric motor that moves traction to the back wheels as needed for traction. With regular all-wheel drive, the TRD Off-Road has Rear Driveline Disconnect to assist with off-roading.
Safety and Driver Assistance
RAV4 models have a good safety record, earning five stars from the NHTSA. Its LATCH attachments have a rare Good-Plus rating from the IIHS where the RAV4 has been named a Top Safety Pick.
Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is standard across the lineup as it was on the 2022 Toyota RAV4. Owners enjoy the benefits of an emergency autobrake and related forward collision warning and pedestrian watch. A lane departure assist reduces the chances of straying in front of another car. Road sign assist helps you stay informed about speed limit changes.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control regulates travel. This adaptive cruise control is a stop and go system that uses camera and radar to ensure safety. A Lane Tracing Assist works in tandem with the DRCC for a safe trajectory.
Driver Assistance Options
To make lane changes safer, there is a blind spot monitor and a rear cross traffic alert on the XLE trim. Another advanced feature is the digital rearview mirror. This camera watches the rear and can broadcast the video to the mirror in real time.
Front and rear sensors can trigger an emergency autobrake for safer parking. A Bird’s Eye View Camera watches the RAV4 perimeter and provides live footage to improve safety. RAV4s have standard auto high beams and available adaptive front headlights. This system can move the light to match the vehicle’s actual trajectory on curves and turns.
