The Toyota RAV4 is a vehicle that straddles city driving and outdoor adventures. Perfect for suburban streets and even dusty dirt roads, this car can do it all. Although the RAV4 is called a “compact SUV”, you would not say so if you saw it on the roads.
The vehicle has a bold and impressive exterior design that commands attention. On the inside, the RAV4 is spacious and comfortable – and anything but compact.
One of the best things about the RAV4 is its unparalleled versatility. Not every car can boast the performance it has on-road and off-road. This car has an impressive ground clearance and a high approach that enables it to conquer any terrain, and it looks good while doing so!
The RAV4 is also extremely economical with the lowest fuel consumption being just 4.8/100km in the hybrid model. This efficient SUV crossover is also powerful, with torque and power specs that make every drive a thrilling experience.
When it comes to multimedia, comfort and space – the RAV4 is a step above the rest. The interior is spacious with 5 seats and 733 litres of luggage capacity. The back seats both fold down, allowing you to achieve a 40:60 split and get in all of your belongings.
You can fit your picnic goodies, surf gear and even a double bed mattress for a camping trip. Speaking of the seats, the RAV4 seats are all partial leather and the front row of seats have built-in heaters (VX model exclusive).
The aesthetics of the interior have been elevated by the new centre placement of the infotainment screen. The new symmetry brings a more cohesive and functional cockpit for the driver and the passenger. The new interior surfaces feature softer materials for the best comfort possible. All models contain premium finishes like the 3-spoke leather steering wheel and the leather gear lever.
Standard Toyota RAV4 features include:
The RAV4 has all the tech you need, exactly where you need it to be! All models come standard with a 7-inch (17.78cm) touchscreen infotainment screen. The infotainment capabilities can be controlled with corresponding buttons on the steering wheel, keeping your eyes on the road without ever missing a call.
The display audio can be linked to either an Android or Apple smartphone by USB, Bluetooth or their respective car sync systems. One of the coolest features of the RAV4 is its inductive charging system. The charging mat is placed at the base of the centre digital console – meaning you don’t have to worry about running out of power while out and about!
