Well, it appears sales for the best-selling SUV in America keep growing and growing.

Yes, RAV4 Hybrid is popular. In fact, this is the fourth year in a row Toyota RAV4 takes top honors among all sport utility vehicles.

Across all brands and models. Impressive numbers, friends.

A huge amount of credit must go to RAV4 Hybrid, since this is also Toyota’s top performing Hybrid. Highlander Hybrid was second place on the Toyota Hybrid list. Yes, RAV4 Hybrid even beat out legendary Prius and Camry Hybrid, too.

2021 Toyota RAV4 XSE Hybrid

Certainly, the most unique and popular trim level for 2021 RAV4 Hybrid is the XSE Hybrid. This one stands out from its other RAV4 Hybrid counterparts.

Even the new 2021 RAV4 XLE Premium Hybrid.

XSE Hybrid RAV4 is known for its gloss black accents adorning the vehicle exterior. Let’s just say you can easily spot it in a crowd. It looks incredible - especially at night.

It also comes with a sufficient amount of power at 219 horsepower.

Oh, and it also gets 41mpg in the city, 38mpg on the highway and 40mpg combined.

No wonder people are having challenges finding this one in dealership inventories across the country. Yes, popular indeed.

2021 RAV4 XSE Hybrid Colors

With great power comes great responsibility. Is that not what Aunt Mae says in Spider-Man?

Well, I sure do not have much power, but I do feel responsible for helping people research the vehicles they may end up buying at some point. I know it is not easy doing car research, and anything I can do to make that part easier I am happy to pitch in.

I can do that through my “Toyotajeff” YouTube channel and through my Torque News column.

Today I want to point out the four available color options for Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. I mean, once you decide you want this model, you may have to turn your attention to what color is perfect for you and your family, right?

Here the choices. Blizzard Pearl. Blueprint. Magnetic Gray Metallic. Silver Sky Metallic.

I think they’re all terribly boring- like everything else in the road. For my 2020, I opted fir the CLE rather than the XSE just so I could get lunar rock. I added black gloss wheel covers and blacked out the emblems. Love it.

Where'd you get the wheel covers and how'd you black out the emblems?

Hi, Great article Jeff. I think on the streets of Gotham or the Boulavards if Brooklyn to The Grand Concourse of the Bronx to the Kissisko Bridge and Kew Gardens Queens oh and the 6th borough Yonkers it's a tough choice between the blue or white. Let's go Places !

I have the Silver Sky Metallic, which looks awesome! The blue and dark gray don’t show the contrast well enough and I think the white and black is too much.

My favorite color use to be dark metallic blue. Or Toyota’s Blueprint. But I want to do my part for global warming and go for the white color. Having a 2005 white Rav4 it is a lot cooler in the hot summer sun than my black 2000 Corola. So my choice is Blizzard Pearl. WHITE for me .Have a nice day Harry B.

Ty for your review.Jeff!I I went with the Silver Sky Metalic and it shines like crazy especially in the sun..really pretty! but I also really like the white and black (piano black gloss) so toss up on which color I like best but have to say I am so happy with my RAV4 Hybrid XSE which is also fast and fuel efficient besides being sporty and reliable - this amazing vehicle seems to have it all or close to all
