The RAV4 is one of the best-selling vehicles in the U.S., and for good reason. This SUV boasts a spacious and well-equipped interior, a powerful engine, a smooth on-road ride, as well as
respectable off-road capability. All trims also feature the advanced Toyota Safety Sense system that helps keep you and your family safe on the road.
The design of the 2020 RAV4 is based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, which means that the SUV boasts a longer and wider stance that’ll give you improved handling and a stronger core to provide you a smooth ride. You can choose from six trim levels with the new RAV4: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. A hybrid model is also available. Here is some more information about this capable and modern SUV.
Spacious Interior
The TNGA platform, which is the base of the RAV4’s design, creates a spacious interior. Both front and rear passengers have ample head- and legroom. When you need more cargo space, you can fold the back seats down to provide you with a cargo area of 69.8 cubic feet.
Standard interior features include cloth upholstery, a 60/40 split-reclining rear seat, remote keyless entry, a rear window defogger, and an automatic electric parking brake. The higher trims add many nice-to-haves, such as a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, a sunroof, a power liftgate, SofTex upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and wireless smartphone charging.
Impressive Performance
All RAV4 trims are powered by a robust 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels, except for the Adventure and TRD Off-Road trims that come standard with an all-wheel-drive system. This engine boasts a respectable EPA rating of 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.
You can customize your ride with three distinct drive modes: Sport mode, which will give you sharper acceleration, ECO mode, which maximizes fuel efficiency, and Normal mode, which offers a blend of economy and performance. If you’re into off-roading, opt for the TRD Off-Road trim, which boasts advanced off-road features, such as a retuned suspension, a dynamic torque-vectoring AWD system, and increased ground clearance. The standard multi-terrain select system offers four drive modes, namely Mud&Sand, Rock&Dirt, Snow, and Normal.
Advanced Technology
The RAV4 boasts loads of modern technology. The standard infotainment system comes with a 7-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a USB port, and six speakers. You can upgrade this system with various convenient features, such as an available 8-inch touch screen, navigation, and a premium 11-speaker JBL system.
All RAV4 trims offer the impressive Toyota Safety Sense system as standard equipment. This suite consists of pre-collision with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, lane tracing assist, and road sign assist.
