Adventure Ready: The 2024 Toyota RAV4
Powertrain Options
Producing 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, the RAV4’s standard 2.5L Dynamic Force inline-4 engine promises prompt acceleration. An electronically controlled 8-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission smoothly distributes power and provides intelligent gear shifts. At up to 35 MPG highway, fuel economy is excellent, but buyers can opt for the 219-hp hybrid variant of the engine, which can help achieve 37 MPG combined.
Instead of an 8-speed automatic, the hybrid RAV4 features an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with a sequential shift mode.
Off-Road Performance
Thanks to its fully independent suspension, the RAV4 has no problem crawling over uneven surfaces. Every trim is available with a robust all-wheel-drive system that turns the vehicle into a capable off-roading machine. Boasting TRD-tuned off-road suspension with enhanced shocks and the Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system, able to send up to 50% of power to the rear wheels, the TRD Off-Road trim is meant for serious enthusiasts.
Further optimizing performance for a variety of environments, the available Multi-Terrain Select offers multiple drive modes, such as snow, rock & dirt, and mud & sand. Up to 8.6 inches of ground clearance enables the RAV4 to clear larger rocks and other obstacles with ease.
Passenger Cabin
The RAV4 may be compact, but it offers plenty of space for five people, including close to 40 inches of headroom and 37.8 inches of rear legroom. A maximum cargo capacity of nearly 70 cubic feet allows you to load all the equipment you need with room to spare before embarking on your next excursion. Several storage compartments and cubbies can be found throughout the cabin, making it easy for every passenger to secure smaller items.
Many trims offer dual-zone automatic climate control with dust and pollen filtering, an 8-way power driver’s seat, and plush SofTex upholstery. Heating for the steering wheel and seating is available, as well.
Multimedia System and Connectivity
Providing added convenience and entertainment during your trip is the RAV4’s 8- or 10.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It comes with wireless integration for iOS and Android smartphones, a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and support for SiriusXM satellite radio. Available connected services include cloud-based navigation with Google Points of Interest and emergency roadside assistance. Audiophiles will love the option of an 11-speaker JBL sound system.
