For the 2024 model year, a standard 1¼-inch rear activity mount elevates the versatility of this vehicle, making it ideal for attaching cargo carriers or tray-style bike racks. Black roof rails and crossbars, also standard, enhance its capacity for carrying extra gear. Our test model featured an eye-catching two-tone paint combination in Army Green, beautifully offset by a Midnight Black Metallic roof.
Mudguards at both the front and rear serve to safeguard the vehicle’s rugged aesthetic, while black accents—including badges, side mirrors, and dual chrome-tipped exhausts—bring a touch of refinement to the design. Adding to the impressive stance are 18-inch bronze TRD alloy wheels, which are outfitted with Falken WildPeak AT tires, ensuring readiness for a variety of off-road adventures.
PERFORMANCE
Suspension tuning on the Woodland Edition caters to off-road enthusiasts, featuring coil springs, dampers, and twin-tube shocks with specialized valving that improve body control on rugged terrain. While these upgrades enhance light off-road capability, this model lacks the extra half-inch of ground clearance and the dedicated all-wheel-drive system found in the non-hybrid RAV4 TRD.
Equipped with a gas-electric hybrid driveline, the Woodland Edition combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with three electric motors, producing 219 horsepower directed to all four wheels. This hybrid variant offers selectable drive modes—Eco, EV, Sport, Normal, and Trail. Notably, Trail Mode serves as a virtual limited-slip differential, optimizing traction by intelligently managing the all-wheel-drive system, brakes, and drive force.
VERDICT
Arriving with an MSRP of $34,695, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Woodland offers solid value in the hybrid SUV market. Once delivery and handling fees are factored in, the total price reaches $36,545, making it a competitive option for those seeking both efficiency and capability in their next vehicle.
