Its fabric texture provides an appearance that no one can complain about, while the SofTex option offers an elegant and upscale look.

A couple of trims also offer Black Mixed Media, which is a combination of fabric and SofTex, trimming with colored stitching if you’re looking for something more unique.

Mocha

Mocha isn’t a typical one-tone interior color. Instead, it offers a unique balance of colors that pair perfectly together. With the contrasting colors in play, it offers a unique environment that remains highly coveted.

The seats are trimmed with a dark mocha color, with a light taupe coloring the center of the seats. It also contains eye-catching orange accents for even more fun.

The Mocha interior is only available on the Adventure trim.

Nutmeg

It doesn’t take long to realize how unique the nutmeg interior is on the RAV4. It’s a much more noticeable color change when compared to the black interior.

This color gives us a break from the standard black interior for a more upscale and classy experience, especially in SofTex material. The nutmeg accents around the vehicle really tie the interior together.

Although these fabric seats may be more difficult to keep clean than black fabric, you’ll love this color if you take proper care of it. However, the SofTex is still relatively easy to keep clean.

The Nutmeg interior is available on the following trims:

• LE (Fabric)
• XLE (Fabric)
• XLE Premium (SofTex)
• Limited (SofTex)

Additionally, Nutmeg is only available when paired with one of the following exterior colors:

• Ice Cap
• Midnight Black Metallic
• Ruby Flare Pearl
• Blueprint
• Lunar Rock
• Wind Chill Pearl

Available Textures

Toyota offers three options to make up the seat materials: fabric, SofTex, and mixed media.

Each type has significant differences in appearance, feel, maintenance needs, and comfort. Let’s talk about each so you can decide which one is right for you.

Fabric

Fabric seats are a classic choice, made from woven textile material.

They’re known for comfort, affordability, and breathability. It’s an all-around great choice for most people.

The main disadvantage of fabric seats is that they can be more difficult to keep clean. Since they are very breathable, liquids and dirt particles can easily be absorbed into the material.

They may also be a bit less durable than other seating materials.

SofTex

SofTex is Toyota’s proprietary synthetic leather material. It looks and feels like leather but does not consist of animal products.

SofTex is better than genuine leather and other seating materials for a few reasons. Not only are these seats designed to be upscale and comfortable, but they’re also very durable, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.

Mixed Media

Mixed media is one of the more unique seating material options offered on the RAV4. It’s a combination of fabric and SofTex, so you’re getting the best of both worlds.

With this material, you’ll get the benefits of comfort, style, breathability, durability, and ease of cleaning.

Additionally, the mixed media seats are paired with colored stitching accents (light blue or red, depending on the trim level). These accents provide a unique look that you can’t get on most RAV4s.

Choosing Your Seat Color

Since you’ll spend most of your time looking at your car’s interior, picking the right color is pretty important.

Here are three factors you should consider when choosing your seat color:

• Appearance: Choose a color that complements your exterior color and personal preferences.
• Temperature: Dark colors, like black, can get very hot in sunlight, especially in SofTex material.
• Ease of cleaning: Light colors show stains and dirt more easily.

Summary

Don’t overlook choosing your interior color, as it’s the part of your car that you’ll be viewing most often.

The 2023 RAV4 comes in four impressive interior colors: Ash, Black, Mocha, and Nutmeg.

These colors are available in two materials, including fabric and SofTex. You can also choose their mixed media material, which is a combination of both.

Consider your personal tastes, cleanliness, and climate when choosing your seat color.
