With a wide array of compact SUVs available on the market, why do drivers keep picking the 2024 Toyota RAV4? Whether it’s a stellar safety suite, massive off-road performance, or simply the love of a capable SUV in a compact package, the RAV4 consistently puts smiles on the faces of the people behind the wheel.
1. It’s Beefy, Yet Efficient
With even the entry-level LE trim offering a robust 2.5-liter power plant making over 200 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft of torque, the RAV4 lineup has plenty of power on offer to drive the adventure onward. Your ride is made smoother by a multi-link rear suspension and a long, wide stance that offers excellent stability even with over 8 inches of ground clearance, making clambering over rocks and obstacles both easy and fun.
Yet even the non-hybrid offers up to an impressive 30 mpg combined, making fueling up the RAV4 infrequent and pain-free.
2. The Hybrid Options Excel
With a hybrid edition available for almost every trim of the 2024 RAV4, the RAV4 is ready to be even more fun and eco-friendly. The hybrid editions offer 219 combined net horsepower and 176 lb.-ft of torque, yet efficiency rises with even more power on board, making up to 37 mpg combined. That’s even more smiles and even more miles per fill-up!
3. The Drool-Worthy Off-Road Features
With TRD-tuned suspension and standard all-wheel drive with dynamic torque vectoring technology, the 2024 RAV4 TRD Off-Road trim redefines what it means to leave limitations behind with the pavement. Rebound control is amplified with red coil springs and revised spring gates, making for better ride quality over uneven terrain, and a skid plate protects its drivetrain when crawling over rocky or obstacle-strewn terrain.
4. The Multi-Terrain Select System Optimizes for Your Favorite Substrate
Standard on every gas-driven RAV4 equipped with Dynamic Torque-Vectoring AWD (TV-AWD), the Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) system enhances traction and torque. Select your favorite substrate from MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW, and NORMAL modes, and feel your RAV4 respond to the input, automatically adjusting throttle response and drive-force distribution to perfectly tune your drive to the surface below.
5. The Redefinition of Compact Capability
Measuring just 180.1 inches from bumper to bumper, the RAV4 is practical for daily driving in even the densest of urban jungles. Yet its capability remains outstanding, with up to 37.6 cubic feet of cargo storage on offer inside a roomy and spacious cabin the whole family can stretch out in. The available hands-free power liftgate makes stowing bags and cargo a breeze, and some models even feature 110V outlets in both the cabin and cargo area for maximum utility.
