This Bestest-approved 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE for sale in Buena Park is Toyota Certified, so its powertrain warranty is good until around November 2030 or another 83,000 miles.

In addition, it has 17,376 miles, far fewer than the roughly 36,000 on a typical used 2023 RAV4 listed in Orange County.

Every RAV4 Hybrid has all-wheel drive, and this one has the 219-hp hybrid system, which the EPA rates at 40 mpg combined. At 1,000 miles a month, that's about $55 a month less in gas than an all-wheel-drive gas RAV4, which the EPA rates at 29 mpg combined. When you check availability, we'll also email you a link to the free Carfax vehicle history report (when available), which includes the exact in-service date and how much warranty is left.

Questions shoppers ask about this RAV4 Hybrid

Is Toyota Certified worth it?

Yes, and it's cheap. Toyota Certified, Toyota's certified pre-owned program, extends powertrain coverage, for the engine and transmission, from 5 years or 60,000 miles to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the first sale, and Toyota Gold certification adds 12 months or 12,000 miles of comprehensive coverage from the day you buy, after the factory 3-year/36,000-mile warranty if any is left. Ask the dealer which certification tier this RAV4 Hybrid carries. In Orange County, a certified used RAV4 Hybrid usually lists for well under $1,000 more than a non-certified one, miles and trim being equal. Both transfer to you in full.

Is the RAV4 Hybrid worth it?

A used 2024 RAV4 Hybrid lists for about $4,100 more than a gas 2024 RAV4 in Orange County. The EPA rates this one at 40 mpg combined against 29 for an all-wheel-drive gas RAV4, so at 1,000 miles a month the hybrid saves about $55 a month in gas, and you're likely to get a big chunk of that $4,100 back when you sell, because used hybrids hold their value better than their gas twins. Most buyers recoup the extra cost well inside five years. The RAV4 Hybrid is also the quicker RAV4. Jason Allan, Bestest's founder, says the hybrid is the one to buy.

The XSE sits a step below the top-spec Limited in the RAV4 Hybrid lineup. Over the SE it adds:

​

  • 10.5-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia (in place of the SE's 8-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia)
  • SofTex-trimmed seats
  • Heated front seats
  • Bi-LED projector low- and high-beam headlights
  • Blue ambient interior lighting
  • Two-tone exterior color
  • Vertical LED accent lighting

​

It carries forward the SE's Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual zone automatic climate control, power tilt/slide moonroof with one-touch open/close, and smart key system on front doors and liftgate.

The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter engine with electric motors for 219 hp, and every RAV4 Hybrid has all-wheel drive, with an electric motor turning the rear wheels. For 2023, every RAV4 got Toyota's new multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, on an 8-inch or 10.5-inch screen depending on trim. The EPA rates the 2023 RAV4 Hybrid at 40 mpg combined, or 37 for the Woodland Edition, against 28 to 30 mpg for an all-wheel-drive gas RAV4, depending on trim.
