The RAV4 was presented for the first time back in 1996, and since then it has been one of the most successful compact crossovers on the U.S. market. Now, for its 25th anniversary, Toyota is celebrating this huge success by adding a new trim level to the 2022 lineup. Next to that, the entire 2022 RAV4 lineup will receive both exterior and interior updates.

What is different on the 2022 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid?

The model will be offered with mono-tone paint combined with fabric-trimmed seats and a 7-inch touchscreen with six speakers.

As an option the SE Hybrid will offer a weather package that includes:

- heated leather steering wheel

- heated front seats

- rain-sensing windshield wipers with a de-icer function.

Customers can also opt for the convenience package that will add:

- moonroof

- height-adjustable power liftgate

- Audio Plus that upgrades to a 9-inch touchscreen.

As a reminder, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor for a total of 219 horsepower. It offers a fuel economy of 41 mpg during city driving, 38 mpg on the highway, and 40 mpg combined. Toyota did not reveal if the 2022 model year will bring any improvements, but we doubt that will be the case.

Prices for the 2022 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid will be announced in December 2021, but to make an idea the 2021 RAV4 XSE Hybrid is priced at $34,750.
