Buyers love the RAV4 Hybrid, but Toyota has an all-new Prius, and you could get a nicer trim for similar money. Which is better? We dig into the specs.
Both vehicles feature Toyota's 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. If you go to higher trim levels, the Prius is offered with Toyota's new 12.3-inch touchscreen while the RAV4's displays top out at 10.5 inches. The SUV has a higher ceiling for audio, though; RAV4s can be had with an 11-speaker JBL audio setup with a subwoofer, whereas a top-trim Prius only has an eight-speaker system.
As for additional content, the Prius has a slight advantage, given you can afford a middle-tier trim for similar cash to a base RAV4 Hybrid. The Prius has larger 19-inch wheels, LED taillights, a wireless charging pad, and a cargo cover to start. Buyers will really notice its faux leather upholstery and heated power driver's seat in place of the RAV4 Hybrid's cloth-covered, manually adjustable seats. Opting for the smaller hatchback also yields double the USB ports .
Take note, though: As a newer vehicle, the Prius has Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 , which includes improved radar and camera sensors that enable better low-light pedestrian detection and superior lane recognition. Toyota also includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert on the Prius XLE while those features are an optional extra on the RAV4 Hybrid LE.
Although the RAV4 Hybrid earns a 2022 IIHS Top Safety Pick, the base LE trim doesn't include the upgraded LED headlights required to qualify. It does, however, carry a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA. The Prius has not yet been evaluated by either safety organization.This is the reason we're able to compare these two. If you go into a Toyota dealership with a little over $30K and you want a hybrid, these are your best two options. The 2023 RAV4 Hybrid LE starts at $31,560.
We look forward to driving these two back to back, but until then, our money is going toward the new Prius.
