Toyota seems to have a few errors on their website - they currently list the LE as having alloy wheels.


A couple of comments:


The headlights are different on the XLE - it features projector headlights. Also, at least according to Toyota's website the LE headlights don't have auto on/off - which seems crazy for a 2019 vehicle.


Based on this video, the tires are a different make and model on the LE vs the XLE.


The LE sun visors don't feature sliding extensions.

Thank you so much, this is exactly the type of review I am looking for.

Nice mark up on the XLE - that's where the mfg make the margins. LE and XLE are the same engine, they get you the same time from point A to B.

I'm surprised that the heated seats and blind spot monitor are considered add-ons. They we're actually standard features on my 2017 CRV EX. That's cool though that Toyota offers a power liftgate as an option on the XLE.

I want to clarify from this video that he doesnt say. There is the LE and the XLE. The XLE features here is a "convenience" package. The regular XLE doesnt NOT include the power seats, heated seats, sun roof and the close button for the trunk. It is $2K more to upgrade from LE to the XLE and another $2K for the XLE convenience package featured in this video. So the 2 in this video are $4K apart.

Did he mention the safety features . It's suppose d to identify speed limit signs, adaptive cruise cobtrol, it's supposed to stop or slow down if something is in front and he did mention turn signals but did he say oNe departure ?

Nice video! The comparison made was lucid and concise. Very helpful video.

I prefer my 2018 Rav4 SE over these two... After negotiating with the dealer I did get mine around the same price as this XLE and the XLE does not have leather interior or the rear view auto dim mirror. Did get mine in the Black Currant color with the all black interior (top and bottom) with all safety features like lane departure blind spot monitoring and collision sense and I am happy with it!

Thank you Jeff, you are one of the most informative and fun to watch. Keep up the great reviews!

Thanks for the comparison video between the Rav4 LE and XLE. I just purchased a 2019 XLE and it is a great everyday vehicle.

a surprising good and useful video - so much better than trying to decipher the Toyota web site. Thanks Jeff, from Durham NC :)

Thanks for this comparison. It would be great to do one between the Adventure and the XLE.

needs a package for power seats at that price what a rip off

I just bought a 2019 XLE last week I regret not getting the upgrade for the power lift door and heated seats, I regret that choice but other than that mistake I am happy. My last car was a 2008 rav4 limited but it had no limits, every option, spared no expense, JBL sound, v6 4x4 leather etc. The 2008 was just to small for in the drivers compartment for my long legs so here I am, missing a lot and excited to take the 2019 on a road trip.

Don't peak in negatives
"It doesn't have"
Tell us what Le has, what it can add optionally.
Tell us what XLE has, what it can add optionally
This may sound subtle. But remember someone came in to buy the Le, they want to know what it has.
(Negative statements don't sell)
If they want a direct comparisome, a good positive statement is "Le is well equipped with ABC, to that Xle adds DEF". (Here there is no negative connotation)
I like your vids.
The fact that you do them puts you light yrs ahead of the part timers
When I sold cars I only worked a half day
From 9am until 9pm
Yep that's only half a day

Cant believe cars still come with hub cabs.

After my 2 surgeries, I'm going all in; 2019 Rav4 Limited AWD in Magnetic Grey. See you next Summer, GOD willing. And, I hope the one I want is made in Japan; their standards are high.

Thank you Jeff in raleigh for all of your great random rav4 videos

[moniquebobb]

This is honestly a really great review. Thanks so much.

Does Toyota offer the bare bones standard model, or the "L" trim?
