Thanks for the fun video! XLE...I just bought the XLE with all the bells and whistles and I'm ok with the small differences between the XLE & XSE to save the extra $5K 😊 The only things that are different with what I got with the XLE than what you have with the XSE is the larger tires, slightly larger tech screen, the panoramic roof (I have the sun/moon roof), the tech rear view mirror, two tone body & the type of seat coverings. My XLE also has the black emblem covers, roof rack, mud flaps and auto remote start, all for just under $33K.

How does XSE compared to the Limited edition? How are they different?

[@henryhonda8408]

Depends what you like/prefer. Personally I prefer the XSE for the gloss black roof & rims which is worth way more to me then the Limited's seat memory, heated back seats and foot activated rear hatch. And it's $1000 less then the Limited even after the cost of the Technology Package. ps - I also don't like the silver accent the Limited has on the front & rear bumpers....... give me that gloss black look ALL DAY LONG.

Gonna get an XSE early next year. Thanks for all your reviews, Jeff. They have been tremendously helpful.

[@Toyotajeff]

Hi there!! Let me know what you get

[@Tony-jb8ue]

I really like the look of the XSE way more than the XLE Hybrid. I really like the two tone colors with the black roof and white body and black rims. I think it adds so much more to the overall look. I don't really care for the chrome style rims they put on these RAV4's. I don't think they give it much a of a flashy look to it. I would much prefer to have the black rims over the chrome rims for sure. I think the black rims add so much more to the over all look of these new Rav4 and help make it look a lot better. I also really like the look of the TRD a lot more so than just a regular Rav4. I would really like to go with either a XSE or TRD but the cost for these I think is crazy what they want. Not really sure if I would get a hybrid but with how the XSE looks I may do so. Right now I am hoping to go with a black TRD but the only way I think I would be able to get one is if they have some really good deals on these in September or October because my current lease is up the end of October.

[@henryhonda8408]

In Canada we can get an optional black alloy rims for the XLE along with black rainguards around the side windows and black LED fog lights for a TOTAL blacked out look for the XLE which I adore. Looks wise the other reason I prefer the XLE over the other hybrid trims is it doesn't have the ugly silver slab on the front & rear bumpers. In the gas version of the Rav4 other then the XLE I really like the Adventure (Trail in Canada) trim looks wise & towing capacity. Black w/white top is my favorite colour for the Trail/Adventure trim.

[@johngelvin4296]

XSE all the way!! We love ours.

XSE would be my preference with the seats/ panoramic moon roof/ gloss exterior and digital mirror. Wish I could have you as our salesman. We’d buy all our cars from you ^-^

[@flylfb]

I’ve had an XLE (not hybrid) with leather steering wheel and I traded it in after 1 year. It was ok, but the wheels are really disappointing and it was my own mistake. The dealership gave me an xse for the test drive and I noticed the ugly finish and old style looking steel wheels when it was too late. My bad, my fault. It was a big disappointment. Toyota should ship the XLE with more decent wheels to make it a fair game for what this car is.

[@henryhonda8408]

The "black wheels" are an option on the XLE hybrid here in Canada for an extra $1100Can.

Sir XSE is far better because of the style it looks a lot more cooler in my opinion also as soon as the video started it caught my attention i was already thinking the XSE looks cooler but lets be realistic it'll probably have horrible gas mileage because its sporty look but boy was i wrong XSE is way cooler i love it

So do neither actually come with parking sensors stock? Thought you said they were an added option but I am seeing it is stock on the XSE? I am replacing a 2007 X3 which has both front and rear and would prefer to keep similar features. Speaking of which, do either have self-dimming mirrors? Really appreciate this video. I was under the impression the XLE is top of the line but seems the XSE is actually the top of the line?
