2023 RAV4
Features
TRD Off-Road Capability
A TRD-tuned suspension with enhanced rebound control and red coil springs with revised spring rates mean better ride quality, while the skid plate helps protect the underside when tackling gravel-covered roads. With 203 horsepower, an 8-speed transmission, Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD (TV-AWD) and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), it’s no wonder our TRD engineers jumped at the chance to redefine what TRD Off-Road stands for.
Multi-Terrain Select
RAV4 features standard Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) on All-Wheel Drive (AWD) gas models. Choose between four modes (MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW and NORMAL) for enhanced traction. When activated, the system is designed to sense slippage and regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle, brakes and drive-force distribution—helping to maximize driving performance on different surfaces.
Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD With Rear Driveline Disconnect
Available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive (TV-AWD) helps enhance responsiveness and stability by sending up to 50 percent of the power to the rear and then further distributing that power to the right or left wheel. To help boost fuel efficiency, Rear Driveline Disconnect will stop sending power to the rear when it isn’t necessary.
Drive Modes
Three distinct drive modes let you tailor RAV4’s driving dynamics to match your mood. SPORT Mode provides sharper acceleration, Eco Mode helps maximize fuel efficiency, and NORMAL Mode blends fuel economy with performance.
Multi-Link Rear Suspension
Enjoy a smooth ride that delivers driving confidence. RAV4’s multi-link rear suspension helps enhance handling and control by working with its natural body rigidity in order to keep traction steady.
Exceptional Ride, Handling and Comfort
RAV4’s Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform refines the drive wherever you take it. A long, wide stance makes the handling more responsive, while a strong core gives you a ride that is smooth and confident.
Distinct Design
Full of personality, RAV4’s sporty design continues to stand out from the crowd. Muscular fenders on all four corners accentuate its ready-for-anything attitude, while available two-tone exterior paint color schemes help you express your own unique style.
TRD Off-Road
RAV4 TRD Off-Road’s subtle styling differences include dark-gray front and rear lower valence, LED fog lights and numerous black-painted accents. Rugged overfenders also amp up its exterior look, along with matte-black 18-in. TRD alloy wheels wrapped in aggressive Falken® WILDPEAK A/T Trail tires.
Rear Design
Leave a lasting impression. Underneath the rear bumper, the dual chrome-tipped exhaust shows off a powerful look when seen from behind. An available rear spoiler and modern LED taillights deliver a distinctive appearance and finish off the design.
Headlights
Where function meets style. RAV4’s available redesigned headlights come with new projector LED headlights that look sleek during the day, and even sharper at night.
Wheel Designs
Good-looking from the ground up. RAV4’s wheels are designed to complement every model’s personality and style. From XLE’s 17-in. 5-spoke silver-finished alloy wheels to Limited’s available 19-in. multi-spoke metallic-finished alloy wheels, you’ll look good wherever your trips take you.
