There's more out there: The rugged yet capable Toyota RAV4 was made for adventure
Looking for a ride that's as versatile as your weekend plans? No matter what sort of adventure you've got in mind, the Toyota RAV4 can help you get there, and do it in style. Mixing rugged good looks and light duty off-road capability with a refined interior, Swiss Army Knife-like storage capacity and top-notch fuel efficiency, it's no wonder the RAV4 has become one of Canada's most popular compact SUVs. It's an SUV that's every bit as capable and adventure-ready as its driver.
Together with Toyota, here's a closer look at just a few of the ways the RAV4 family can help you unleash your inner explorer.
A rugged yet refined design provides the best of both worlds
You don't live a cookie-cutter life, so why settle for a cookie-cutter SUV? The Toyota RAV4 has always stood out from the crowd, but this latest generation levels up the nameplate's signature rugged yet refined look.
The RAV4's bold, powerful stance and striking appearance do more than just help it pop in the parking lot, it also delivers a more stable, confident ride. Meanwhile, a high ground clearance and short overhangs provide added comfort and performance whether you're tackling the trails or navigating city streets. That little bit country, little bit city design isn't limited to the RAV4's exterior, either. No matter which RAV4 model you opt for, the SUV's interior hits that perfect blend of performance and refinement, thanks to a spacious cabin decked out with premium materials, along with a number of thoughtful features and high-tech touches.
Looking for an SUV that's as trail tough as you are? The RAV4 Trail comes with model-exclusive Mocha-coloured SofTex seats that are specially designed for wear (and easy cleaning). Prefer something a bit more elevated? The RAV4 Limited boasts premium styling, as well as heated rear seats—because your passengers deserve to ride in comfort too.
Powerful performance for wherever you're headed
With the RAV4, drivers get a choice of three distinct all-wheel-drive powertrains, all equally engineered to provide better performance, more dynamic handling and all-weather capability to boost your confidence no matter the conditions, or the terrain—a true must for life in Canada.
All RAV4 gas models in Canada come standard with all-wheel drive, as well as a Multi-Terrain Select system which allows you to select from four different terrain "modes" for maximum traction on even the most challenging terrain. The RAV4 Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models boast their own intelligent electronic on-demand AWD system, featuring a dedicated electric motor at each axle to send torque where it's needed. Gas models of the Trail and Limited, meanwhile, benefit from Dynamic Torque Vectoring All Wheel Drive with Rear Driveline Disconnect, a Toyota first which can send up to 50% of engine torque to the rear wheels – and distribute it to either side as needed – for added control. So, wherever your next adventure takes you, you won't have to worry about whether your RAV4 can handle the drive ahead.
Versatile storage capacity to accommodate everything you need
Having trouble deciding where the road will take you next, and what you'll need when you get there? No sweat. The RAV4's angular structure provides for plenty of interior cargo space, while the wide trunk opening and available power back door help make loading a breeze.
It's the 60/40 split-folding rear seats that are the true game changer though; the added storage configurations they unlock can make all the difference when you're trying to maximize your cargo capacity ahead of a long weekend getaway or camping trip, helping you find room for even the most awkwardly shaped objects.
Spend more time on the road, and less at the pump
Who says power and performance need to come at the expense of fuel efficiency? Toyota has been perfecting hybrid driving technology since the mid-1990s, so it should come as no surprise that the RAV4 delivers impressive fuel economy to help you get more out of every tank.
With a fuel efficiency rating of 5.8 L/100KM in the city and 6.3 L/100KM on the highway, the RAV4 Hybrid doesn't just boast improved fuel economy, it also delivers more horsepower and faster acceleration than its gas-powered counterpart—although the rest of the RAV4 family more than hold their own in both departments. RAV4 gas models also come powered by a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine built to maximize both fuel economy and power.
Looking to extend your electric-only driving range? The RAV4 Prime is powerfully efficient, thanks to an advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain which delivers an estimated 2.5 Le/100KM (city/highway combined) and a range of up to 68 km in EV mode.
There’s a RAV4 for every lifestyle
With options ranging from sporty Hybrids to trail-ready gas-powered models to the refined RAV4 Limited, it's easy to find a RAV4 that matches your own unique personal style.
Audiophiles will love the 11-speaker JBL audio system that comes standard on Limited models (and is also available on the Hybrid XSE), while techies will appreciate the wireless integration of the new-and-improved Toyota Multimedia system and available Qi wireless charging tray.
Prefer gravel roads to city streets? The RAV4 Trail and Hybrid Woodland Edition are specially engineered to smooth out bumpy rides so you can tackle outdoor adventures in style. Have "improve fuel economy" at the top of your to-do list? The RAV4 Hybrid is available in five unique models that are every bit as fun-to-drive as they are fuel efficient.
Adventure means something different to everyone, but no matter how you define it, you'll find a RAV4 that's ready to help take you there. Wherever "there" may be.
