car_truck“I wanted something efficient enough for my weekday commute, but still fun and confident in a snowstorm—and this 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE has nailed it.” That’s exactly the kind of reaction this SUV inspires. It’s a smart, all-weather hybrid that feels modern and thoughtfully equipped, with just enough attitude in its design to stand out in a crowded parking lot.
Finished in the distinct 02vv exterior with a roof accent two‑tone paint scheme, this pre-owned 2024 RAV4 Hybrid XSE has a purposeful, athletic stance, enhanced by black 18 x 7-inch aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding, and a rear lip spoiler. LED low and high beam projector headlights with auto on/off, LED daytime running lights, and Automatic High Beam technology deliver crisp visibility, while the black grille with body-colour surround and chrome side window trim add a polished edge.
Practical touches like roof rails, splash guards, and deep-tinted windows make daily use and weekend trips equally straightforward.
Under the hood, the Dynamic Force 2.5L I-4 hybrid powertrain combines port/direct injection, DOHC architecture, and VVT-i variable valve timing with a hybrid electric motor system. The result is responsive performance with impressive efficiency: approximately 5.8 L/100 km in the city and 6.3 L/100 km on the highway, supported by a CVT with overdrive, selectable driving modes, and automatic full-time all-wheel drive. An electronic transfer case, sport ride suspension, and sophisticated stability and traction systems help you stay composed in changing weather and road conditions, while regenerative braking improves efficiency and brake feel.
Inside, the RAV4 Hybrid XSE leans into a driver-focused, tech-forward cabin.
A standout is the large 10.5-inch primary touchscreen display paired with a 12.3-inch gauge cluster, creating a modern, digital cockpit. The JBL premium audio system with 11 speakers, amplifier, Clari‑Fi digital signal processing, and automatic equalizer delivers rich, clear sound for music, podcasts, or navigation prompts.
Wireless Apple CarPlay integration is a major highlight here. Once your iPhone is paired, you can mirror your apps directly to the central touchscreen without plugging in a cable. Your familiar interface for maps, calls, messages, and music appears in a clean, easy-to-use layout, and you can manage everything with steering wheel controls or simple voice prompts. It turns this RAV4 into an extension of your phone—ideal for managing playlists on the highway, checking messages safely via voice, or running navigation without fumbling for your device.
Because it’s wireless, you can leave the phone in your pocket, bag, or the console and still enjoy full connectivity.
Equally notable is the wireless Android Auto capability. Android users can access Google Maps, Waze, music streaming apps, and messaging right on the vehicle’s main display, also without cords. Voice commands make it easy to reroute, search destinations, or send replies hands-free, and speed-sensitive volume ensures you can hear clearly as road noise changes. With both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto supported wirelessly, this RAV4 Hybrid XSE is particularly well-suited to households with multiple device ecosystems, letting every driver step in and feel immediately connected.
Connectivity goes further with Bluetooth handsfree calling and audio streaming, a built-in mobile hotspot for on-the-go internet access, five USB ports for passengers’ devices, and Toyota Assistant, a built-in virtual assistant that can respond to voice commands.
Over-the-air update capability keeps key systems current without a service visit. HomeLink garage door integration and Smart Key with hands-free access and push button start add everyday convenience, while remote start via the keyfob makes cold mornings and hot afternoons more comfortable.
Comfort and practicality are well balanced. SofTex cloth and leatherette upholstery provides a durable yet upscale feel, matched with piano black and metal-look interior accents. The driver benefits from an 8-way power seat with 2-way power lumbar, heating, and multiple adjustments including cushion tilt and height, while the front passenger seat offers 4-way controls and heating as well. A heated leather steering wheel brings additional comfort in colder seasons. Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear ducts maintains even cabin temperatures, and the sliding, tilting glass sunroof with sunshade opens the cabin to light and fresh air when desired.
Passenger and cargo flexibility is a strong point.
The rear bench offers manual reclining seatbacks, a 60/40 split-fold design, fold-forward functionality, and three height-adjustable rear head restraints. When more space is needed, the split bench folds down to create a flat, useful load area. A multi-level cargo floor, roll-up cargo cover, cargo net, tie-downs, and concealed storage help you organize everything from groceries to sports gear. The power liftgate simplifies loading and unloading, assisted by the tailgate-integrated power door lock and keyfob trunk control.
Toyota’s approach to safety is comprehensive in this RAV4 Hybrid XSE. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ brings forward collision mitigation with left turn assist, a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Following Distance Alert. Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert improve awareness when changing lanes or backing out of parking spaces.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Lane Tracing Assist provides hands-on support in traffic and on the highway, maintaining gaps and gently assisting with lane centering. Eight airbags, including driver knee and front passenger seat cushion airbags, are complemented by an advanced stability control system, all-speed ABS, and a robust body with side impact beams.
Security and peace of mind gain an extra boost from Safety Connect with up to 10-year trial coverage, including an integrated emergency SOS function, a vehicle tracker, and Service Connect with long-term service interval monitoring. Guest Driver Monitor via Remote Connect allows restricted driving modes and alerts when others use your vehicle. An immobilizer and full security system help deter unauthorized access.
Everyday usability details round out the experience: rain-detecting wipers with heated wiper park, automatic brake hold in stop-and-go traffic, hill start assist, trailer sway control, variable interior lighting, retained accessory power, numerous storage bins, and eight beverage holders.
With 46,348 kilometres on the odometer, this pre-owned 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE offers a compelling mix of efficient hybrid power, all-wheel confidence, and standout cabin technology—especially its seamless wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration—ready for many more kilometres ahead.
