What Are the Differences Between the Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Highlander?

Budget and price are key elements in the car-buying decision and will be an important factor when you explore this 2017 Toyota RAV4 vs 2017 Toyota Highlander review.

When equipped with Dynamic Torque Control AWD, the standard Toyota RAV4 LE starts at $26,310.

Base Toyota Highlander LE models employ a 185-horsepower 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that achieves 24 mpg on the highway and starts at $30,630. When you upgrade to the all-new 295-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 engine with a Direct-Shift eight-speed automatic transmission, the Highlander LE makes 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway with a price tag that starts at $32,680. With the addition of Dynamic Torque Control AWD, the six-cylinder Toyota Highlander LE is priced at $34,140.

Married to a continuously variable transmission, the hybrid Toyota RAV4 makes 34 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.
