'16 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

Striking saddle-colored faux leather seats seen in rear of RAV4 Hybrid Limited. Backseat is roomy, aided by reclining seat backs.

Frameless, auto-dimming rearview mirror one of standard items on Limited grade.

Front 150-kW motor and rear 50-kW motor feed battery, as seen on touchscreen's energy monitor section. Together with 2.5L gasoline 4-cyl. they bring total system horsepower to 194.

Limited grade has standard LED projector beams and daytime-running lights. XLE has halogen for both.

Taillights on Limited grade also LED. Note larger 18-in. tires on Limited vs. XLE's 17-in. tires.

Eco, Sport and EV mode buttons placed lower left of steering wheels. Modes are standard on XLE and Limited RAV4 hybrids.

Tune knob and other controls maddeningly far away from driver. Climate-control knobs thankfully are low and within easy reach.

Cloth fabric, in an attractive check pattern, seen on XLE-grade seats.
