The 2020 Toyota RAV4 has dominated its way to the top in a rather competitive medium-sized SUV class, and comes as an all-in-one commute, camping, and fuel-efficient option! Though it trails rivals in a few specs, this hybrid-only powertrain comes in unique styling and great build that only the Japanese designers seem to have perfected. The new safety and practicality features represent a step forward in the company's efforts to claim the market from major rivals. 1. Low Emissions Hybrid-Only Unlike the vast majority of top dogs in this class, the RAV4 comes confident enough to offer hybrid-only trims. It further calls itself a ‘self-charging hybrid' to bold out its name from the many plug-in hybrids flooding the market.  This means drivers will never need a wall socket as the car harnesses the energy lost during braking and deceleration into a battery pack. more Its efficiency is still a wow factor for many drivers, especially given its large 2.5-liter engine. The electric motor's boost secures an impressive fuel-efficiency rating of up to 48mpg for the all-wheel drive and 50mpg on the front-wheel-drive model. 2. A Smooth Performance The 2020 Toyota RAV4 is a stylish product designed in compliance with Toyota's New Global Architecture (TGNA). It offers better and more sophisticated suspension than the Toyota Prius or C-HR. The perfect chassis engineering gives RAV4 excellent capabilities to turn corners with great vigor and poise, while its balancing allows the vehicle to resist dramatic levels of body lean without losing the grip. While at its best in town and suburb environment, this medium SUV offers excellent refinement levels on rough roads and terrains. 3. Comfortable Interior The interior is definitely an amazing highlight for this model. The sturdy material has a touch of elegance to it and promises to look just as good after years of wear. The rear-view mirror comes in handy, and the car looks cleaner without the bulky hand lever. The infotainment system is the same as the one in the 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid - the newly added Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility make it easy to operate. 4. A Reputable Reliability With a solid performance and reliability score, drivers can't go wrong with the 2020 RAV4 - the upgraded safety system and driver-assist features put the vehicle on firm ground. The new RAV4 ties a bolder styling to a more powerful engine that continues to bolster its popularity. Its excellent fuel economy and ample performance justify why it was the world's best-selling SUV in 2019!
