LE: The Value-Packed Entry Level

If you prioritize affordability while still enjoying modern tech and safety, the LE trim might be the perfect match. The base RAV4 trim doesn’t skimp on essentials, starting with Toyota Safety Senseâ„¢ 2.5 (TSS 2.5), which includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Alert. LED projector headlights ensure you’re visible in Chicago’s often unpredictable weather.

Inside, an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Autoâ„¢ makes navigating the Loop or streaming your favorite podcasts seamless. The LE trim’s front-wheel-drive setup is perfect for fuel efficiency, but if you’re preparing for icy Chicago winters, you can opt for all-wheel drive.

With 203 horsepower from its 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, the LE has the capability to get you around the city and beyond. It’s ideal for budget-conscious drivers who need a reliable, feature-rich vehicle for commutes, weekend errands, or trips down Lake Shore Drive.

  • Toyota Safety Senseâ„¢ 2.5 (TSS 2.5)
  • LED projector headlights with chrome-finished bezels

XLE: Perfect for Daily Drivers

For those spending significant time on the road, the XLE trim adds convenience and comfort to your daily grind. The addition of a Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert boosts your confidence while navigating tight parking garages or merging onto I-90.

Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps you and your passengers comfortable, whether you’re enduring a summer Cubs game or a snowy trek through the suburbs. You also get the same solid 203-horsepower engine as the LE, but the available AWD system with Multi-Terrain Select adds an edge for light off-roading or Midwest winters.

The XLE trim strikes the perfect balance between value and upgraded amenities, making it a great choice for families and commuters.

All LE features, plus:

  • 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels
  • Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
  • Dual zone automatic climate control
