Shop the Toyota RAV4 SE in Ames, IA
SE is the entry point into the RAV4 lineup, and it is the trim we keep the deepest stock of. Every RAV4 built today is a hybrid, SE included, so you are not giving up fuel economy to save money against a higher trim. The SE pairs the 2.5L hybrid engine with standard all-wheel drive, a front motor rated at 100 kW and a rear motor at 40 kW for a combined 170 lb-ft of torque, and it is EPA-rated 46 city, 39 highway, 42 combined MPG, the best combined figure anywhere in the RAV4 range because it carries the least added weight.
For a daily commute into Ames or out to Ankeny and Des Moines, that combination is hard to beat: real all-weather traction from standard AWD, five real seats with 98.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, and 37.8 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row that opens up to 70.4 cubic feet with the seats folded. Toyota rates it to tow up to 3,500 lbs, enough for a small utility trailer or a pair of kayaks headed to Ada Hayden.
One thing worth knowing before you commit to SE on price alone: Toyota also builds a RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid in SE trim, with an estimated 52 miles of all-electric range on top of everything above. We do not always have one on the lot, but if plugging in at home matters to you, it is worth a look at the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid link below before you decide.

RAV4 SE Deals, Rebates, and Incentives
SE is the volume trim, so it is usually where the strongest programs land. Check the current new Toyota specials and the Toyota manufacturer incentives page before you settle on a number, since an APR offer can change which trim actually makes sense. Recent Iowa State graduates should also look at the Toyota College Graduate Rebate. Every new RAV4 includes two years of scheduled maintenance through ToyotaCare.
Finance, Lease, or Trade for a RAV4 SE
Value your trade before you shop, since equity toward an SE can move the payment more than a rebate does. From there, get pre-approved and run the numbers with our payment calculator. We regularly work with buyers driving in from Ankeny, Boone, Story City, Nevada, Huxley and Gilbert, so a trip to Ames for the color and package you actually want is normal here.

Buying a RAV4 SE at Wilson Toyota of Ames: Common Questions
Is every RAV4 SE a hybrid?
Yes. Toyota redesigned the RAV4 so every trim, SE included, pairs the 2.5L engine with hybrid assist and standard all-wheel drive. There is no separate gas-only SE to choose between.
What is the real-world fuel economy on an SE?
EPA-rated 46 city, 39 highway, 42 combined MPG, the highest combined rating in the RAV4 lineup because SE carries the least added weight and the smallest wheels of the trims we stock.
Can I tow anything with a RAV4 SE?
Toyota rates it up to 3,500 lbs, which covers a small utility or kayak trailer. Confirm the number on the specific vehicle before you hitch anything, since trailering capacity can vary with configuration.
Is there a plug-in version of the SE?
Yes, Toyota also builds a RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid SE with an estimated 52 miles of electric range, though we do not always have one in stock. See the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid link above for what is currently available.
Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a RAV4 SE?
Start with an online trade estimate, which takes a couple of minutes and gives you a real number to work from before you ever visit. We take any make or model.
How do I test drive a RAV4 SE?
Schedule a test drive online or call 515-232-4081. If you also want to compare it against a Plug-in Hybrid SE, tell us when you book and we will have both ready.
Fuel economy, cargo, and towing figures are manufacturer estimates for the current model year and vary by configuration. Confirm details on a specific vehicle before purchase. Offers subject to change; see dealer for current program eligibility.
