Close 2025 Toyota RAV4 XLE Overview near Des Moines, IA
2025 Toyota RAV4 shown above with available features.
The appeal of the 2025 Toyota RAV4 XLE largely comes from its versatility as a compact SUV option. Whether you’re sticking to city streets or traveling on unpaved dirt roads, this model has the capability to tackle both scenarios effectively. Continue reading the talking points that the Toyota of Des Moines team has covered for you below to learn more about the RAV4 XLE!
Design
The XLE trim of the RAV4 has an 8.4-inch ground clearance that makes it great for traversing uneven terrains without losing its balanced stance. The 17-inch 5-spoke light gray metallic alloy wheels will help you achieve this height, and they’ll also make for a captivating display when you arrive at Woodland Heights and onlookers get a glimpse of the RAV4 XLE. An integrated rear spoiler will add a nice visual touch to the back end of the SUV, while the front end is set with black hexagon-patterned bar front grille. If that’s not enough to capture your imagination, then we also have to mention the color-keyed heated power outside mirrors that come with turn signals and blind spot warning indicators1, as well as folding capability.
Performance
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 XLE puts stability first when it comes to its performance feats. The FWD system it uses allows for smooth handling as you switch between the Sport, Eco, and Normal drive modes to match different driving conditions as needed. When you want to accelerate ahead of the competition on I-235, the 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic transmission with intelligence and a sequential shift mode won’t fail to rise to the occasion. The strength of the 2.5L 4-cylinder motor is where you’ll get the ability to outpace other SUVs, as this powertrain features 203 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque for you to work with. We also can’t forget about the 27/35/30 MPG city/hwy/combined2 fuel economy rating that makes the RAV4 XLE highly efficient.
Audio and Multimedia
The 2025 RAV4 XLE makes the most of its 6-speaker sound system to provide a quality audio experience for all your drives. Since this model incorporates wireless Apple CarPlay®3 and Android Auto™4, you can sync your compatible smartphone directly to its multimedia system and access all your familiar apps via the 8-inch touchscreen. There’s also a SiriusXM®5 3-month trial that you may be inclined to use if you’re a fan of more traditional media options. Discover all the systems that the RAV4 XLE has access to when you come check it out at our location near Des Moines during business hours!

Eli took the time to make sure all of our questions were answered and never made us feel pressured. Although we ultimately decided not to purchase the vehicle (a personal choice that had nothing to do with Eli), I still felt compelled to write this review because our experience with him was so positive. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely helpful, I highly recommend asking for Eli! ”

If I could give Justin a worse score I would.
“ If I could give Justin a worse score I would. I had at least two bad interactions where Justin had dismissed my concerns. But one time I confronted him after he dismissed my concerns again. Two weeks later coming back in for the concerns I had expressed he again proved that his customer service skills had not improved and AGAIN dismissed my concerns. If I decide to use Toyota of Des Moines in the future, I will purposely ask to not have Justin. Even after my 10/10 bad experience with Justin, Brock came in and really turned the experience around. He listened to my concerns and explained them to me. He went above and beyond what he needed to do. So thank you Brock. ”

No issue other than trying to sell me a 20$ cabin filter

Had my car towed to Toyota on a Monday.
“ Had my car towed to Toyota on a Monday. I had Tuesday off from work - waiting for a call all day. I finally called at 4:30 pm car still not looked at was told next appointment opening was next Monday!? So I have no car and I needed to get to work and expecting a grandbaby any day! Thursday I finally get a call with what needs to be done which was a lot for a 2004 car. Had Friday off so I was planning to figure things out the next day? No one told me it was drivable (which it was) so I'm thinking probably need to get a new car?? I had to work till 9 pm on Thursday (had to find a ride) and grandbaby on the way (had to find a ride to the hospital) spent all night at the hospital and all day Friday. Called Toyota to plead for a loaner so I could get to work and be mobile the answer was "no" if you are trying to sell cars that is not the way to do it! So I rented a car because I needed to get to work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday 300 dollars and I owe Toyota 500 for just looking at the car! I had Tuesday off so I called Monday to see what needed to be fixed to make it drivable so I could get it home or to another dealership! That's when they told me it was drivable!?!? Seriously!! That would of been nice to know 4 days ago!! Only help I got was a ride to Toyota to pay my bill! I told them, when paying my bill, that it would of been nice to know my car was drivable because I rented a car! No "I'm sorry" nothing! ”
