Fully Loaded 2023 Toyota RAV4: A Detailed Look at Features & Cost

If money is no concern, you may as well enjoy a fully loaded 2023 Toyota RAV4. There’s nothing better than the top RAV4 trim level with all of the features and options.

In this guide, I cover every aspect of a fully loaded RAV4. I give you details on the features, packages, colors, and accessories. Finally, I break down the cost and help you determine if it’s worth it.

Spoiler alert – It’s not usually worth the expense, and I’ll explain why.

Options Breakdown

When choosing options for a new vehicle, several categories exist. For this reason, I cover the exterior colors, packages, and accessories separately.

The most expensive and luxurious trim level of the RAV4 is the Hybrid Limited. It features an MSRP of $39,030 and comes complete with every addition you could want.

While there are some RAV4 Prime models that cost more, I didn’t want to add them to this article since Toyota treats them more as a separate line of the RAV4. I will deal with the features of the RAV4 Prime at another time if you are interested in the plug-in hybrid model.

Exterior Color

The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid can be outfitted with four standard exterior colors at no extra cost. These include:

• Magnetic Gray Metallic
• Midnight Black Metallic
• Blueprint
• Silver Sky Metallic

However, if you are looking for a premium color option, there are two other choices available.

• Ruby Flare Pearl
• Wind Chill Pearl

Either of these exterior colors adds $425 to the price tag.

The most premium package offered is called the “Limited Grade Advanced Technology Package with options.”

The price of a fully loaded 2023 Toyota RAV4 goes up quickly when accessories are added. With so many to choose from, the new RAV4 lacks nothing.

Estimated Cost

What will you spend on a 2023 Toyota RAV4 if you choose everything available? It’s much higher than the MSRP of the Hybrid Limited.

The price could be reduced if any of these factors were taken out. For example, if you choose one of the non-premium colors instead, the price goes down another $425. Additionally, if all of the interior and exterior accessories aren’t needed, imagine how much lower the price would be.

With that in mind, the Toyota RAV4 Limited has comparable features and options without the hybrid powertrain. Even with all-wheel drive, this Toyota SUV has an MSRP of $37,680. That’s a $1,350 savings over the hybrid. If the hybrid powertrain isn’t important, it might be worth checking into the standard Limited trim as well.

Is It Worth It?

As an unbiased RAV4 enthusiast, I think the fully loaded 2023 RAV4 comes close to being worth it. However, for most people, it’s just not going to make sense to spend this much.

The biggest reason is that most drivers don’t need all of these interior and exterior accessories. While Toyota has thought of everything, I can’t think of a reason that all those accessories would be needed or wanted. Not only that, but many of the accessories are cheaper through aftermarket companies.

You could save a lot if you were willing to cut back or purchase the accessories elsewhere.

With that said, I believe the highest-level technology package (fourth tier) may be worth the cost if you want a panoramic sunroof.

If the sunroof isn’t important to you, scale back to the second tier instead and save some money. This package includes many of the technology and weather features that are most used. It only gets rid of the panoramic sunroof and digital rearview mirror. Without those two options, you save $700 off the total price.

While I’ve offered my opinion, I can’t possibly tell you what’s for your budget or lifestyle needs. Only an in-depth evaluation on your own will reveal what you should choose.
