The RAV4 is getting a complete overhaul for the upcoming model year, and everyone is raving. What’s all the fuss about, you ask? From its adventurous spirit to an upscale interior, this SUV’s redesign for 2019 is worth the wait. Get ready to get excited about the latest version of the RAV4.
The Power of Dynamic Force
Let’s start under the hood of the 2019 RAV4, where a Dynamic Force 2.5-liter inline-four awaits your instructions. It delivers a robust 203 horsepower from a direct- and port-injected engine. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the RAV4 comes equipped with front-wheel drive, or move up the trim levels and get four-wheel drive.
Go On An Adventure
The all-new RAV4 shines with its unexpected level of off-road prowess. Choose one of two available all-wheel drive systems, including a rear-axle torque vectoring system that delivers more power during cornering. These systems also disconnect the rear wheels to reduce drag and improve fuel economy.
The Adventure trim level adds some handy pickup-like features to the RAV4, perfect for hitting the road less traveled. Push the boundaries with larger tires and a Tacoma-like front bumper and grille design.
The newly conceived RAV4 is equipped with Toyota’s Multi-Terrain Select feature. Pick the ideal engine and traction control settings for optimal performance in all types of terrain, including snow, mud, sand, and rocks.
Step Up to a Premium Interior
The interior designers at Toyota streamlined the RAV4’s cabin with a clean, modern look that’s handsome and offers an upscale feel. Less cluttered than previous generations, the cockpit features a large touchscreen with Toyota’s Entune 3.0 infotainment system taking center stage. Below that, you’ll find climate controls and volume and tuning knobs.
An available panoramic glass roof turns your everyday commute into an adventure with a clear view of the sky above, while ambient lighting sets the right mood. SoftTex seats with an available eight-way adjustable driver’s seat give the cabin a refined feel.
Toyota’s New Global Architecture
There’s a reason the RAV4 is the best-selling model in this compact-crossover crazed era, and it starts with TNGA. Toyota New Global Architecture, or TNGA, is the foundation of all that is RAV4.
This unibody platform underpins several of Toyota’s leading sellers, like the RAV4, and accommodates every drive configuration. In keeping with Toyota’s mission to make cars better, TNGA improves the RAV4’s core components such as superior handling, a spacious cabin, and a strong body to protect you and your precious cargo.
Stay Safe and Sound
Toyota added its suite of active safety features in the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 bundle of tools. Standard across the RAV4 lineup, you’ll get Lane Tracing Assist, an automatic lane-keeping technology. You’ll also appreciate automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alerts, and automatic high beams. Opt for added protection with blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alerts.
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 delivers both practicality and comfort, plus a wealth of standard amenities. Discover the RAV4’s most intriguing new features at Priority Toyota Chesapeake today.
