Yet despite a starting price above $45,000 making it the most expensive RAV4 model, the Prime isn\u2019t necessarily nicer inside than a version costing thousands less. Still, the optioned-up $51,294 RAV4 Prime XSE reviewed here shows what\u2019s possible inside this popular small SUV. It shares some things with every RAV4 and others that are exclusive to higher-end models, so this interior review will help no matter which version of Toyota\u2019s compact crossover you\u2019re looking at.<\/p>\n

RAV4 Prime Interior: How It Looks<\/h2>\n

The RAV4\u2019s basic cabin design provides a solid basis for the Prime to build on. How things look inside complements the bold, edgy exterior. Toughness is implied by the shaping of the door panels and dashboard, which have silver trim accentuating their angles. A hexagonal pattern applied to the speaker grates, cupholder liners, and bin ahead of the shift knob adds more visual interest. Items like the door handles, shift lever, and temperature control knobs are amusingly oversized, as if the RAV4 wants to prove it\u2019s a big, bad SUV. Outside visibility is good thanks to the large windows and side mirrors.<\/p>\n

In Toyota-speak, the SE and XSE trim levels are reserved for sport-inspired models. Those are the grades available for the RAV4 Prime, which although indeed quick isn\u2019t particularly fun to drive. Toyota nevertheless reminds you of those racy aspirations with red stitching and trim around the cabin. It looks spiffy without being too in-your-face, as it somewhat does in the 2024 Prius Prime XSE. This is the only interior item truly unique to the Prime in the RAV4 lineup; the TRD Off-Road model uses red stitching in different patterns while the Hybrid XSE has blue instead.<\/p>\n

Digital displays keep getting bigger, but the RAV4 Prime XSE remains competitive with its tech features. Its 10.5-inch infotainment touchscreen is the upgrade over the 8.0-inch unit found in lesser models, positioned atop the dash to keep it in your line of sight. More impressive-looking is the 12.3-inch gauge cluster screen, which isn\u2019t exceptionally high-resolution but can be reconfigured to show myriad data points or design themes. The head-up display equipped on our test vehicle as part of the Premium Package was a nice-to-have, not a need-to-have.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
