The Toyota RAV4 brings significant technology upgrades for 2023. As one of the company’s most popular models, this compact SUV went years without changes. And that makes sense—why change a good thing? But with high-tech interiors becoming the norm, Toyota brought many updates to the new RAV4. But what do they include?

Let’s review the 2023 Toyota RAV4’s revised technology and what it means for everyday drivers.

What’s new and improved in the 2023 RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is one of the best-selling vehicles in the world, and it hasn’t seen many changes since 2019. But for 2023, Toyota added upgraded tech for an even better experience, according to U.S. News.

While driving, instrumentation relays vital info like speed, RPM, and fuel level. And as technology advances, an increasing number of vehicles use digital instruments. Besides being easier to read, these displays have adjustable settings, so drivers can pick and choose what they see.

To that end, the 2023 Toyota RAV4 brings an appealing digital instrument cluster. Not only does that add functionality, but it gives the interior a high-tech feel.

Standard on the Limited trim and optional on the TRD Off-Road and XLE models, the 12.3-inch display shows comprehensive vehicle data like:

• Speed and RPM

• Fuel level

• Outside temperature

• Trip timer

• Hybrid energy monitor

The Toyota website has the rest.

And with infotainment systems central to the modern driving experience, Toyota revised the 2023 RAV4 to compete with the best on the market. A standard 8.0-inch touchscreen has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity. And to stay connected far and wide, a 4G LTE hotspot links all your devices.

Higher trims like the RAV4 Limited and TRD Off-Road include a 10.5-inch touchscreen for even better usability. And options like JBL premium audio, wireless charging, and navigation round out the technology-focused interior.
