We know that comparing SUVs with all the variances in trims and options makes it challenging to decide on the best one for you. So, we turned to our SUV experts to provide an in-depth analysis of the RAV4 to help you decide which trim level best meets your needs.
You’re sure to identify with at least one of the various RAV4 trim levels, from the Limited trim with its many premium features to the TRD Off-Road model, which is particularly suited to off-roading.
Every RAV4 has a sleek, modern exterior style defined by crips lines, sharp angles, and color-coordinated trim complete with accent chrome flourishes. Its LED headlights, daytime running lights, and signature hexagon grille stare down the competition. Dual-tipped chrome exhaust ports, a roof-mounted rear spoiler, and LED taillights are sure to incite envy in passersby as the RAV4 races away.
You’re bound to love the remote keyless entry system, premium cloth upholstery, and convenience of a 60/40 split-folding back seat that offers various cargo and passenger configurations. Now considered a must-have, the RAV4’s in-vehicle tech suite includes touch-screen infotainment with systems such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth, meaning you can stay connected to your busy life no matter where your next adventure leads you. Alternatively, you can plug in your devices at any time to one of several USB ports located throughout the cabin.
Toyota installed a capable front-wheel-drive (FWD) system as standard, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive (AWD) on every trim. Utilizing the independent front strut MacPherson suspension system, complete with a stabilizer bar and a multilink rear suspension, the RAV4 displays impressive agility in all conditions.
Of course, you can expect enhancements as you climb higher through the trim levels. You’ll see features such as 17- or 19-inch alloy wheels in various styles and colors, external heated mirrors, low-profile roof rails, and an adjustable rear liftgate.
Other improvements in the midrange models include power-operated seats with lumbar support, optional heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel. The midrange trims come with exterior add-ons such as LED fog lights, a moonroof, and a power-operated liftgate.
The RAV4 cabins in the midrange feature Toyota’s SofTex upholstery. SofTex looks beautiful like leather but has stain-resistant and durable qualities that make it ideal for your adventurous life. Other upgrades include heated seats, wireless charging, a digital rearview mirror, and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel.
These models also come with larger touch-screen infotainment systems and premium audio systems tailor-made for the RAV4 to bring theater-quality audio to every drive.
The Adventure model is a popular choice for RAV4 enthusiasts. It features 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season tires. A two-tone exterior enhances curb appeal, as do the oversized fender flares, fore and aft wheel spats, exclusive badging, aerodynamic underbody construction with vortex generators, active grille shutters, and an integrated rear spoiler. Toyota aptly uses its SofTex upholstery but tweaks it with exclusive stitching throughout the cabin.
The moniker TRD stands for Toyota Racing Division, and nobody does off-road racing better than Toyota. You can rely on the RAV4 TRD to conquer challenging terrain and weather conditions because Toyota built the RAV4 TRD with 18-inch flow-formed alloy wheels and mounted the most aggressive all-terrain tires on them.
Other trim-exclusive touches include red-painted shocks, vortex generators, spoiler, grille shutters, and unique raised roof rails. TRD Off-Road badges are prominently displayed, but you won’t see the TRD-stamped skid plate or TRD-tuned suspension system.
You’ll love the standard moonroof on the TRD Off-Road because it lets in all the light and air on every excursion. The cabin comforts you with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, a digital rearview mirror, wireless charging, and a large multimedia information display.
The RAV4 powertrain makes your adventures possible. Every RAV4 has a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
While the Adventure and TRD trims come with AWD as standard, you can upgrade from Toyota’s capable FWD platform if you want additional traction and control. AWD models have a traction-control system with selectable drive modes to dial in your steering, throttle, and suspension to align with the driving conditions and your mood.
For instance, you can select Sport mode for a more thrilling drive or Trail mode when you need additional traction. Additional modes include Mud and Sand, Rock and Dirt, and Snow modes.
Every RAV4 has the latest driver-assistance technologies to elevate your Auburn commute. These systems use radar and optical sensors to track your vehicle and alert you to possible hazards. Sometimes, these systems will intervene with brake support or corrective steering to help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision.
