Toyota’s diverse lineup of vehicles can make it difficult to ascertain which model may be the best option for you, as there are certainly no lackluster choices. The RAV4 Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid are two SUVs that you might be considering for the advancements that have come with their 2025 iterations, and we at Orland Toyota can help you grasp the differences between them.
Interior
When you’re comparing these respective compact and midsize SUVs, the cabin features are likely one of the first aspects that you’ll want to place side by side. Convenience for you and your passengers will come with the Highlander Hybrid in the form of 14 standard cup and bottle holders, while the RAV4 Hybrid has a cargo area tonneau cover to keep your possessions safe. The RAV4 Hybrid also has access to an available cargo area deckside-mounted storage net1 if you’d like to make bringing along any daily essentials to Independence Park a simpler task. If your passengers are going to need to keep their electronic devices powered up for the duration of your trip, then the Highlander Hybrid’s five standard USB ports will be able to cater to everyone aboard easily. Finally, the RAV4 Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid use standard dual-zone and three-zone climate control systems, respectively, to keep their cabins cool.
Technology
If you’re looking for state-of-the-art technology features, then the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and 2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid are both stellar vehicles. Heated front seats are standard on the Highlander Hybrid, but you can also get these on one of the RAV4 Hybrid’s more expensive grades. Similarly, the Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charger2 is standard on the midsize SUV and available on the compact. What’s standard on both of these models is the wireless Apple CarPlay®3 and Android Auto™4 integrations that allow your smartphone to sync directly to either vehicle seamlessly. The standard SiriusXM®5 3-month trial subscription can also be a part of your travels on Route 41 if you prefer the channels that it brings along with it.
Performance
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that works in tandem with a front and rear electric motor setup to achieve 219 combined net horsepower. The Highlander Hybrid’s pairing of a 2.5L 4-cylinder powertrain with two front and one rear permanent magnet synchronous motors allows it to get up to 243 total horsepower that keeps its larger frame moving across Chicago without pause. Both of these models have access to Sport, Eco, Normal, EV6, and Trail modes that you can use to adapt to different driving conditions as they arise. We also can’t forget how highly efficient the RAV4 Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid will prove to be for you. With the former, you’ll enjoy 41/38/39 MPG city/hwy/combined7 while the latter has 35/35/35 MPG city/hwy/combined7. Test drive both of these SUVs at our dealership location before deciding which is best for you!
