While the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is only available as a hybrid, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 is available with a range of drivetrains, including a hybrid option. But which of these Toyota SUVs is best for Mobile, Alabama drivers? Let’s take a closer look!

Toyota Crown Signia vs. Toyota RAV4: At a Glance

It has more interior passenger room than the RAV4 and premium interior features. Some might say it’s the more luxurious and stylish of the two models.

The RAV4 is slightly more off-road capable than the Crown Signia and offers more cargo space thanks to its higher roofline and boxier shape. It is the more affordable of the two options, aimed at more adventurous buyers who enjoy an active coastal Alabama lifestyle. 

Trim Level Comparison 

This is one of the trickier Toyota SUV comparisons to consider because the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia is only available in two trim levels, while the 2025 Toyota RAV4 is available in many. 

The two 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Trims are:

• 2025 Toyota Crown Signia XLE: The feature-rich entry-level Crown Signia with heated and ventilated seating plus premium 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia and a base MSRP of $43,590.

Fuel Economy & Performance 

Both of these Toyota SUVs sport the same base engine, a 2.5-liter inline-four engine, but the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia has a slightly more powerful electric motor and larger battery. This gives it a total system horsepower of 240 HP, 21 HP more than the RAV4 at 219. 

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited is lighter than the Crown Signia though, and so it gets better fuel mileage with an EPA-rated 39 MPG combined for the RAV4 and vs 38 for the Crown Signia. 

Safety & Technology 

Both the 2025 Toyota RAV4 and the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia come with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, which offers industry-leading driver aids and active safety systems to make Alabama roads safer.
