Features

The Dynamic Force 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine produces 203 horsepower for great acceleration. Pairing it to the Direct Shift 8-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission shifts the power smoothly and efficiently, all the way to highway speeds.

Three distinct drive modes let you tailor RAV4’s driving dynamics to match your mood. Sport Mode provides sharper acceleration, ECO Mode helps maximize fuel efficiency and Normal Mode blends fuel economy with performance.

Enjoy a smooth ride that delivers driving confidence. RAV4’s multi-link rear suspension improves handling and control by working with its natural body rigidity in order to keep traction steady.

RAV4’s Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform refines the drive wherever you take it. A longer, wider stance makes the handling more responsive, while a stronger core gives you a ride that is smooth and confident. The platform also creates a naturally spacious interior with a better view of the road.

Available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive (TV-AWD) improves responsiveness and stability by sending up to 50 percent of the power to the rear and then further distributing more power to the wheel that needs it. To boost fuel efficiency, Rear Driveline Disconnect will stop sending power to the rear when it isn’t necessary.

RAV4 now features standard Multi-terrain Select on All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models. Choose between three modes (Mud and Sand, Rock and Dirt, and Snow) for improved traction. When activated, the system can sense slippage and will regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle, brakes and drive-force distribution—helping to maximize driving performance on different surfaces.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. RAV4’s ground clearance lets you easily handle off-road trails and pathways. The ride height also gives you a more confident view of what’s around you.

Full of personality, RAV4 sits wider and has an extended wheelbase that gives it an aggressive stance, while flared fenders and sharp creases add to its tough exterior. Modern two-tone paint schemes are also offered with a Black or Ice Edge-colored roof.

Inspired by Toyota’s off-road heritage, Adventure grade’s distinctive, rugged exterior features an aggressive grille, larger overfenders, unique Adventure roof rails and 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels. This tough look also echoes Toyota’s off-road past with an available Ice Edge-colored roof. Inside, orange accents are found throughout the interior and add the right amount of contrast to its sporty style.

Good-looking from the ground up. RAV4’s wheels are designed to complement every model’s personality and style. From XLE’s 17-inch five-spoke silver alloy wheels to Limited’s available 19-inch multi-spoke super chrome-finished alloy wheels, you’ll look good wherever your trips take you.

Leave a lasting impression. Underneath the rear bumper, the dual chrome exhaust tips show off a powerful look when seen from behind. A rear spoiler and modern LED taillights deliver a distinctive appearance and finish off the design.

Standard LED headlights with smoked trim and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) help you see what’s ahead.

See and feel a new level of refinement that elevates the driving experience. An available panoramic glass roof opens up to an interior filled with premium materials and reveals the attention that goes into every detail.

Available interior ambient lighting provides the right mood for any drive.

Complementing Adventure grade’s rugged exterior are seats that feature a unique pattern with orange accents.

Ready to impress, on- or off-road. Feel an elevated level of refinement every time you enter RAV4. Premium materials, like the available SofTex^® seats and the comfort of an available 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, put you in the center of it all.

The 7-inch color Multi-Information Display (MID) presents turn-by-turn directions, safety info, alerts and more, all at a glance so you can keep your eyes on the road.

Instantly upgrade your connectivity and infotainment with RAV4’s new Entune^™ 3.0 multimedia system. Wherever you go, you can always access the systems using the available 8-inch touch-screen. Connect your smartphone through standard Bluetooth^® to make phone calls or stream music.

Bring along a familiar face. Now with Apple CarPlay^® compatibility, you can use your compatible iPhone^® with RAV4's audio multimedia system to get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music while staying focused on your commute.

Get a clear view with a flip of a switch. RAV4 introduces Toyota’s first camera-based digital rearview mirror. The available feature uses a camera mounted up high inside the rear window for a wider field of vision—letting you see more of what’s behind you.

Stay connected to fun. Plug your smartphone or mobile device into one of up to five USB ports to power up. You can also place your device on the available Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging pad found conveniently in the tray below the climate controls.

Enhance the soundtrack to every adventure with RAV4’s available JBL^® w/Clari-Fi^™ audio system. The next-gen system uses 800 watts of total power to drive 11 speakers in nine locations, including front horn tweeters and a subwoofer. Clari-Fi^™ technology intelligently adjusts to every audio format, optimizing sound quality that turns every drive into an intimate concert.

No need to reach into your pocket or purse with RAV4’s available Smart Key System. When RAV4 senses you are near, you can lock and unlock any of the doors, including the rear liftgate, just by putting your hand on the door handle. Once inside, just press the Push Button Start and you’re ready to go.

Powered to help you out. With a push of a button, the available power rear liftgate can open and close automatically. When your hands are full, the available hands-free power liftgate senses your Smart Key fob and opens automatically when you wave your foot under the rear bumper.

Make every seat more comfortable. Available ventilated and heated front seats cool or warm up on demand, while available heated rear outboard seats can help keep rear passengers warm.

Dial in the comfort. Front seat passengers can fine-tune the temperature to their liking. Rear vents found behind the center console get the air circulating and further help those in back get comfortable.

Find a place for all your things. Below RAV4’s climate controls is a storage tray that can hold whatever’s in your pocket. A convenient shelf between the upper and lower dash gives you the perfect spot to place small items.

Power your gear wherever you go. All you have to do is access the rear cargo area and plug into RAV4’s standard 12V/120W outlet to give you the charge you need to keep going. Adventure grade ups the power with an additional 120V/100W power outlet in the rear cargo area.

RAV4's Road Sign Assist (RSA) helps keep you informed. Using a forward-facing intelligent camera, Road Sign Assist is designed to detect speed limit signs, stop signs and yield signs, and displays them on the Multi-Information Display (MID).

When the available Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is enabled and lane markers are detectable, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) uses the lines on the road and preceding vehicles to help keep the vehicle centered while also displaying the vehicle’s position on the Multi-Information Display (MID) screen. The system was designed to reduce driver strain and increase convenience, and may benefit drivers most during traffic jams—but can be turned off using the MID.

RAV4’s Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) helps keep the road safe by detecting a pedestrian under certain daytime conditions. If the system determines that the possibility of frontal collision with a pedestrian is high, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake by using an audio/visual alert. If the driver reacts and brakes, the system may use Brake Assist (BA) to provide additional brake force. If the driver doesn't react and brake and the system determines that the risk of collision is high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed to help mitigate the impact or avoid the collision entirely, if possible.

Intended for highway use and similar to “constant speed” cruise control, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) lets you drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which is designed to adjust your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you that are driving at a slower speed. DRCC uses a front-grille-mounted radar and an in-vehicle camera designed to detect vehicles and their distance. If a driver is traveling slower than you, or within your preset range, DRCC is designed to automatically slow your vehicle down without deactivating cruise control. If DRCC determines you need to slow down more, an audio and visual alert notifies you and brakes may be applied. When there’s no longer a vehicle driving slower than your preset speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate and regular cruise control will resume.

By detecting visible lane markings or using Road Edge Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) issues both an audible alert and visual warning on the Multi-Information Display (MID) screen if an inadvertent lane departure is detected. If the system determines that the driver is not taking corrective steering action, the Steering Assist function is designed to initiate and provide gentle corrective steering to help keep RAV4 in the lane.

RAV4’s Automatic High Beams (AHB) are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night—without distracting other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

An available Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) audibly and visually warns you when it detects nearby pedestrians or vehicles. Under certain low-speed conditions, Rear Cross-Traffic Braking (RCTB) is designed to reduce engine power and, if necessary, apply the brakes.

The available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) warns you when a vehicle in the next lane enters RAV4’s blind spot on either side. When in Reverse, available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) helps detect vehicles approaching from either side, visibly with side mirror indicators and audibly with a warning tone.

RAV4 comes standard with a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, driver knee airbag, front passenger seat-cushion airbag, in addition to front and rear side curtain airbags. Eight airbags total—all focused on your safety.

Smart tech helps keep you safe. This standard comprehensive suite of six advanced safety features is designed to help keep you out of harm’s way. The system includes enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology^® (SST).
