Exterior Design
Confident styling
The adventure continues
The 2013 RAV4 captures the spirit of freedom that began with the original RAV4, yet breaks new ground in refinement, practicality and technology. With expressive styling and a roomy, comfortable interior, RAV4 is decidedly refined—but with agile handling and all-weather capability, it’s still ready for adventure whenever you are.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. Limited shown in Black.
Giving you a lift
We improved both the looks and functionality of RAV4 by giving the traditional rear-mounted spare a new home underneath the cargo floor. So now, RAV4 has a true liftgate that opens up instead of out, making cargo loading easier. And if you go for RAV4 Limited, you’ll get a power liftgate with jam protection that even offers height adjustment.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE shown in Shoreline Blue Pearl.
A fresh face
Part of RAV4’s new attitude comes from a handsome front-end design with a chrome-accented grille, projector-beam headlights and Daytime Running Lights (DRL) that make you more visible to other drivers. On RAV4 Limited, you get auto on/off headlights as well as integrated fog lights that help you cut through the haze.

Prototype shown. Production model may vary. Limited shown in Classic Silver Metallic.
Utility
Cargo management made easy
Adjustable power liftgate
No free hands? No problem. RAV4 Limited comes standard with a power rear liftgate featuring jam protection, plus a handy height-adjustment feature. Simply raise the liftgate to your ideal height, then press and hold the cargo door button for two seconds until a confirmation beep sounds. Now, whether you open the liftgate via release or key fob, it will open to the desired height every time.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. Limited shown in Pyrite Mica.
Cargo capacity
Even with all the leg room offered by RAV4’s interior, there’s still plenty of room for your gear. In fact, you can stow up to 38.4 cubic feet of cargo 17 with the rear seatbacks in their upright position.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE interior shown in Gray fabric.
Fold-flat second row
When you find a treasure that’s too big to fit in the cargo area, you can fold the second-row seats in seconds. Just pull the handle up and lower the seatbacks to create a wide, flat load space with 73.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity. 17
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE interior shown in Gray fabric.

More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. Limited shown in Pyrite Mica.
Efficiency
Engineered to optimize
2.5-liter 4-cylinder DOHC
RAV4’s standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder DOHC engine develops 176 horsepower and 172 lb.-ft. of torque for brisk acceleration and great drivability. And with its Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) technology, it gets surprising fuel economy too.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE shown in Barcelona Red Metallic.
6-speed automatic
An all-new 6-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) improves drivability for impressive acceleration and reduced fuel consumption.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE shown in Barcelona Red Metallic.
31 MPG Highway
RAV4 has an appetite for adventure, not fuel. A number of improvements like a new transmission and more efficient engine add up to an EPA-estimated 31 hwy mpg, 2 for Front-Wheel Drive models, along with an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle II (ULEV-II) rating.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE shown in Barcelona Red Metallic.
ECO Mode
How far is that next gas station, anyway? RAV4’s ECO Mode changes the accelerator input and air conditioning/climate control parameters when you need greater fuel efficiency.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE shown in Barcelona Red Metallic.
Electric Power Steering
Engine-driven accessories like a power steering pump increase fuel consumption. So RAV4 is fitted with an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system that provides low effort and great feedback. Plus, with fewer moving parts, it’s more reliable than conventional hydraulic systems.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE shown in Barcelona Red Metallic.
Handling
Take control
Dynamic Torque-Control AWD
Our all-new All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system with Dynamic Torque Control makes its debut on RAV4 AWD. It improves handling by distributing engine power from front to rear and manages the vehicle’s braking system from side to side for maximum control.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE AWD shown in Classic Silver Metallic.
Automatic Limited-Slip Differential
Standard on RAV4 Front-Wheel Drive models, Auto LSD helps control front wheelslip for more traction on slick or unstable surfaces.

Sport Mode
Get the most out of RAV4’s powerful engine and updated chassis with the new Sport Mode. It increases accelerator response and enhances steering feel for a more engaging experience.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE AWD shown in Classic Silver Metallic.
Tuned suspension
RAV4’s suspension has been tuned to provide a smoother ride on the highway, yet offers the same rugged reliability when the going gets rough.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE AWD shown in Classic Silver Metallic.
Increased chassis rigidity
Sometimes, it’s the unseen details that make a big difference. Case in point: spot welds. RAV4’s chassis has more of them than ever—and though you may not notice them, they help reduce chassis flex in key areas for improved handling and control.
Prototype shown. Production model may vary. XLE AWD shown in Classic Silver Metallic.
Visibility
Drive with confidence
Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
When BSM 18 detects a vehicle, it warns you with a flashing indicator light on the appropriate outside mirror. RCTA 19 works in much the same way. When you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, it provides audible and visual indicators to warn you of approaching vehicles.
More InfoPrototype shown. Production model may vary. Limited shown in Black.
Improved visibility
RAV4’s hood gently slopes down from the windshield to give you the best possible view of your surroundings. It’s a subtle detail that improves visibility for enhanced awareness and safety.
