Design

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime will be offered in SE and XSE trims. It will carry many of the design elements from the redesigned 2019 version and the 2020 carryover, but it will add sporty features to make this bold RAV4 stand out even more. The SE grade offers 18-inch painted and machined alloy wheels as well as an exclusive front grille design and lower spoiler. You’ll find piano black accents along the exterior and a painted grille/diffuser to give it an overall elevated look. Standard heated front seats, a seven-inch Multi-Information Display, Blind Spot Monitor, a leather steering wheel, a power liftgate, and Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa compatibility round out the list of features offered with the SE trim. You can even opt for the available Weather & Moonroof Package to let in more of this wonderful Bay Area atmosphere. 

The RAV4 Prime XSE will offer a two-tone exterior paint scheme that tops the vehicle with a black roof and pairs it up with a variety of different colors. The 19-inch alloy wheels will be the largest wheels offered on a RAV4 hybrid model, and they will have a unique two-tone design as well. The vertical LED accent lights and the available Adaptive Front Lighting System will give the vehicle a standout appearance and functionality.
