Comfort & Convenience
The XLE trim bridges value and comfort: you get more features than the base model without stepping into luxury prices.
Being a Toyota SUV, parts/service network is excellent, and ownership costs tend to be reasonable for the class.
At a listing price of $5,495, this RAV4 XLE presents potentially high value—especially if condition, mileage, and service history are good.
As always with used vehicles this age, checking condition of wear items (tires, brakes, suspension), verifying maintenance history, and looking for any signs of heavy use or neglect is key.
