With a starting MSRP of $28,675[a], we have an affordable SUV that can break you out of the monotonous routine. A 2.5L I-4 engine provides 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque and can tow 3,500 lbs for those extraordinary weekend adventures or spontaneous getaways.

The RAV4 has exceptional fuel economy and is available with either FWD or AWD. When equipped with FWD, the RAV4 achieves 27 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway for a combined average of 30 MPG.

Special Features

The main highlight for 2024 is its appearance. Updates and redesigns have given the RAV4 a spotlight on the runway for looks alone (forget what’s inside, though we certainly won’t). The highlights of the exterior feature some pretty bright lights - the LED daytime running lights (and fog lights available on certain trims), to be exact. Active grille shutters and aero-dynamic underbody panels optimize performance. However, you can always get some extra fun out of it with the panoramic moonroof and power liftgate for your convenience. You even have a choice between low or raised roof rails.

The RAV4 has an interior that works for you. Everyone loves ventilated and heated front seats, but how about the rear? This addition ensures everyone's comfort. Another highlight on the inside is the jaw-dropping elevated cabin fitted with LED lights to illuminate and elevate the feel of the interior. Imagine stepping into a luxurious cabin with ambient lighting to set the tone for an excellent night's drive while relaxing in the comfort of stylish seats.

It’s beneficial for having complete interior visibility when dark skies are above. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without dual-zone climate controls to ensure everyone is happy, whether they need the heat or to be cooled off. There’s also a convenient, intuitive storage tray located near the climate controls and a passenger shelf to store whatever you need to bring with you.

This ensures that you have everything you need and all of the things you need with you for optimal satisfaction. Interiors have, for as long as vehicles have been around, been crucial for drivers and passengers, and now the RAV4 is introducing ultimate versatility that doesn’t just affect the cabin area.

There are plenty of things to love about the RAV4, and if you look at its plentiful trim options, you can find unique highlights that you won’t find in every trim level. The trim levels, LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, and Limited, are ready to go to work for you, but check out what they can offer, as some come with LED lighting, more extensive touchscreen displays, panoramic moonroof, JBL speakers, specific interior designs, and so much more. Luckily, the RAV4 has more options than most SUVs to ensure you can get the unique features your heart desires. Getting the perfect RAV4 you’re looking for can make you the talk of the town, no matter which one you choose.

Drivers will mainly notice the change in its otherwise plain appearance with bold new colors and the availability of two-toned combos to excite new and old fans. The Woodland Edition also comes back with a few upgrades, like standard crossbars and roof rails, for a more outdoorsy appeal. There is also a new color to hit the RAV4, specifically in the Toyota lineup: olive Army green. With these recent changes and bold appearances, the Toyota RAV4 is gearing up to be the new beauty on the road (and off).

All About the High-Tech

Some of the greatest highlights of the 2024 RAV4 are found in its high-tech features. A new, updated, intuitive user interface that is located within your cabin, ready to connect you to the outside world and keep you informed and entertained along the way—the 10.5-inch multimedia touchscreen display is only an arm’s length away from the driver’s seat so that it is fully accessible to the front seat riders.

There are also some other great technology highlights, such as wireless phone compatibility, a JBL premium audio system, and a 3-month trial plan to SiriusXM. It’s also equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, which comes with pedestrian detection, collision alert, and full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control.

Other features are fine-tuned for safety, such as automatic high beams and lane departure alerts with steering assist. Sensors and cameras play a massive role in technology, such as road sign assist and lane tracing assist. It can also help with rear and front parking.
