The Toyota RAV4’s fuel consumption varies slightly by trim and drivetrain, but recent data for the 2025 model year shows that front-wheel-drive models achieve an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city, 35 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg combined[4]. All-wheel-drive models tend to have slightly lower highway ratings, with estimates around 33 or 34 mpg[1].
Specific trim data indicates that the 2025 RAV4 LE and XLE trims, whether FWD or AWD, commonly reach 27 mpg city and up to 35 mpg highway. The XLE Premium and LE models provide a combined 30 mpg in most configurations, while the Limited trim may dip to 28 mpg combined depending on the specific setup[2]. Real-world testing generally supports these EPA estimates, though actual results can vary based on driving conditions and habits.
The RAV4 Hybrid, by comparison, typically achieves slightly better highway fuel economy, with some owners reporting up to 38 mpg on the highway in favorable conditions, while combined ratings hover around 30 mpg in real-world mixed use[3].
