The Toyota RAV4: Redefining Adventure and Versatility
The Toyota RAV4 is a versatile, adventure-ready SUV. Not only can the new RAV4 comfortably haul around your family throughout the week, but it also proves to be a more than capable off-road performer. A long list of modern features makes this vehicle even more satisfying. Let’s find out why the RAV4 continues to dominate the competition.
Capable Yet Efficient Powertrains
The Toyota RAV4 gives you three excellent powertrains to choose from. A robust four-cylinder engine with 203 horsepower comes standard. To ensure optimum responsiveness, Toyota mates this engine with an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. A 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity also ranks the RAV4 among the best in the class. This is a big advantage for drivers who need to haul Jet Skis, travel trailers, and ATVs.
Another option is the eco-friendly RAV4 Hybrid. It develops a combined 219 horsepower while delivering the lineup’s most efficient drive. However, atop the performance ladder sits the exciting RAV4 Prime. Toyota rates its plug-in hybrid powertrain to develop 302 horsepower, which results in a blistering 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds.
Versatile Driving Dynamics
Even the base RAV4 is rewarding to drive. Its supple ride and secure handling promise to leave you impressed. However, trims equipped with a sports-tuned suspension are especially agile. You’ll look forward to carving twisty roads.
Don’t overlook the RAV4’s capacity to handle a rugged excursion. There are a few off-road-ready trims for you to choose from. An optional AWD system gives you optimum traction and stability when hitting the trails. This AWD system can disconnect the rear driveline from enhanced fuel efficiency during normal conditions. Multi-Terrain Select allows you to choose from four modes: MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW, and NORMAL. An available TRD-tuned suspension and a more aggressive Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system further elevate the RAV4’s ability to conquer the rough backcountry.
Spacious Family Hauler
Designed to accommodate up to five passengers, the RAV4 provides ample space for everyone to travel comfortably. This SUV’s thoughtful interior also has enough cargo room for your family’s extra gear. Premium amenities, such as heated seats and dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents, ensure a more relaxing trip.
Advanced Safety Features
Stamped with an NHTSA five-star overall safety rating, the RAV4 provides excellent impact protection. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 also equips the SUV with several standard driver-assist technologies. While a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection monitors for oncoming obstacles, Road Sign Assist ensures you remain aware of the posted speed limit. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and automatic high beams are included.
