Currently on the market for a Rav4 Hybrid and I'm siding more with the LE. Call me old school but I personally prefer the manual engine start, seats, and lift gate. Less electronics to worry about failing and not efficient enough to shell out more money for a slow lift. Has automation really made us that lazy where we need a button for everything? lol

Does all Rav4 trims have something like old-fashioned parking sensor capability (checking distances and buzzes)? Does rear collision warning cover that capability? It seems that only the top trim (Rav4 Limited) has Park Assist which can apply brake automatically (beyond the old-fashioned parking sensor distance/buzzing capability). I hope someone can answer my questions. Thanks.

You can option the front and rear parking on the XLE trim but most of the features will be on the limited and you will still have to option things like a 360 camera Toyota specs: www.toyota.com/rav4/features/mpg_other_price/4477/4450/4530

The xle has a couple more adjustments so it can be more comfortable than the le. Padding might feel better in the xle but it is more of the adjustment. The Adventure will be more comfortable because of the softex seating.
