Best Center Console Organizers for the 2019–2025 Toyota RAV4

The RAV4's armrest bin is deep, which means small items sink to the bottom. A drop-in tray sits on a ledge at the top and creates a second level. Because trays are molded to the bin, match the year range on the listing.

How we picked

• Included trays listed for the 5th-gen RAV4
• Favored drop-in designs with no install
• Checked owner reports for rattles and fit

Buying guide

Year range

Most trays list 2019–2025. If a listing says "2019–2022" or "2023–2025", follow it.

Non-slip inserts

A rubber insert stops items rattling.

Measure your console, don't trust the listing

The RAV4's console box and tray layout vary by grade and model year, and listings round their dimensions. Before ordering, measure:

• Internal width at the narrowest point
• Internal length front to back
• Internal depth from the lip to the floor of the bin

Then check whether your console has anything inside it that must stay accessible: a 12V outlet, USB ports, or on higher grades a wireless charging pad. An organiser that covers any of those is a daily annoyance.

The two storage areas people confuse

The RAV4 has a deep console box under the armrest and a separate shelf or tray area ahead of it near the shifter. They take different products:

• Console box — a multi-level tray insert turns one deep bin into usable layers. The biggest single improvement
• Shifter tray / forward shelf — a non-slip liner or a small divided tray, mostly to stop things sliding around
• Door pockets — free storage most owners under-use. A bottle insert stops rattling

What to put where

The point of an organiser is to stop one deep bin swallowing everything:

• Top tray: phone, charging cables, sunglasses, pen, parking pass
• Middle: registration and insurance documents, tyre gauge, notepad
• Bottom: things you rarely need — spare fuses, a torch, first-aid items

Anything bulky belongs in the cargo area, and anything muddy belongs nowhere near the console carpet.

Fitment details

• Check the organiser doesn't stop the armrest lid closing flush. A tray sitting a few millimetres proud means the lid rattles over every bump
• Check it doesn't block the cupholders if it sits forward of the box
• If your console has a removable upper tray from the factory, note whether the organiser replaces it or sits beneath it

Hybrid and Prime

The console itself is the same across powertrains, so a console organiser is one of the accessories that carries over without a fitment question — unlike cargo liners and rear floor mats on this vehicle. Worth knowing, because it means you can buy by grade and year rather than by powertrain here.

Cupholder inserts

A separate product. Worth it mainly to stop a bottle rattling and to catch spills before they soak into the console carpet, which is harder to clean than it looks. Measure the cupholder's internal diameter and depth — RAV4 holders are sized for standard bottles but inserts vary.

FAQ

Do RAV4 console trays fit all trims? The armrest bin is shared across most trims, but confirm on the listing.

Do 2013–2018 RAV4 console trays fit a 2019? No. The 5th-gen console is different.

Do console trays need installing? No. They drop in and rest on a ledge.

Will a tray reduce storage space? Slightly, but it makes small items much easier to reach.

Does the RAV4 Hybrid use a different console organiser? No. The console is the same across powertrains, unlike cargo liners and rear floor mats.

How do I size a console organiser? Measure the internal width, length and depth of the console box. Listings round, and grades vary.

Will an organiser stop the armrest lid closing? A tray that sits proud of the lip will, and the lid then rattles. Check the depth against your measurement.
