The Toyota RAV4 has been a top-selling compact SUV in the United States for several years, so if you’re looking to invest in a new SUV, consider the 2021 Toyota RAV4. You’ll be amazed at the great features that come with this incredible vehicle.

Exterior

The new Toyota RAV4 looks both sleek and rugged, making a great option for drivers who want a stylish SUV and for drivers who want a tough-looking all-wheel-drive vehicle. Its exterior is reminiscent of the Toyota 4Runner, but it also has hints of the rugged Tacoma pickup truck.

You can tell it’s a member of the Toyota family, but it also has a distinctive style all its own. The 10 color options are yet another way to customize this vehicle.

Fuel Economy

The RAV4 offers superior fuel economy for its class, with the front-wheel-drive model getting 35 miles per gallon on the highway and the all-wheel-drive model getting 32 miles per gallon on the highway.

The 2021 model’s fuel efficiency is significantly improved over its 2018 model, which only delivered 25 miles per gallon on the highway. With the new RAV4, you’ll not only save money at the pump, but you’ll be treating the environment better as well.

Comfort

Toyota has given driver and passenger comfort top priority in the RAV4, with ergonomic seats, optional leather, and plenty of leg and headroom for all. Dual-zone climate control is standard on every model except the LE base trim, and a power-adjusted driver’s seat makes long commutes a breeze.

You can upgrade to more faux-leather features with the XLE Premium trim, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob. A stitched padded dashboard and console complete the upgrades.

Technology

A seven- or eight-inch touchscreen infotainment center comes standard on all Toyota RAV4 trim models, which includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4G LTE mobile hot-spot. You can also add an optional wireless charging station, a JBL premium audio system, and a navigation system.

If you don’t want to pay extra for navigation, though, all RAV4 models will provide you with Scout GPS Link so you can display your phone’s navigation on the car’s touchscreen.

Safety Features

The RAV4 is one of the safest vehicles on the road and has even earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Standard safety features on this SUV include automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, a lane-departure warning system, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

You can also add blind-spot monitoring and a rear cross-traffic alert system at an extra cost, but these features are well worth the money.

Performance

This vehicle offers a nice ride, with excellent handling and stability. It reaches 60 miles per hour in eight seconds, which is faster than the 2019 model, which achieved this mark in 8.3 seconds.

If you opt for the hybrid model, you can reach 60 miles per hour even more quickly, as it reached this speed in 7.4 seconds in recent tests.

By choosing a 2021 RAV4, you’ll get all these favorite features and much more. Come by Rochester Toyota for a test drive today!
