Still plenty to like for the money Cheaper than high-spec rivals JBL stereo
What we don’t
Screens are small compared to competitors Not as funky as the XSE Long wait times

The model everyone seems to want is the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Cruiser.
The demand for the Cruiser grade has been so huge that Toyota has added a cheaper model below it, the XSE, to try and divert some of the demand away from this spec. But there’s plenty to like about Cruiser trim, so here’s a rundown on what you get.
The standard equipment list is identical whether you choose the 2.0L non-hybrid auto powertrain ($42,500), hybrid 2WD ($45,000) or hybrid AWD ($48,000).
It has leather-accented seats, three-stage heated front seats with ventilation/cooling, and there is eight-way power adjustment for the passenger front seat, too, and the driver’s seat has memory settings.
It also scores LED headlights and daytime running lights, LED foglights, redesigned 18-inch alloys, and there’s a new digital rearview mirror that uses a camera to offer a wider field of view. There are also auto-folding door mirrors, and the Cruiser scores a nine-speaker JBL stereo system.
Further, you get an 8.0-inch touchscreen like the lower grades, a part-digital dash cluster (7.0-inch screen) and there’s Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, DAB digital radio, five USB ports, keyless entry and push-button start and more.
Safety gear mirrors the models below, with a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, front AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
