2021 Toyota RAV4

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 comes in six trim levels: the LE, Adventure, XLE, XLE Premium TRD, Off-Road, and Limited. The base trim comes with standard LED lights and automatic high beams. XLE Premium contains some of the most advanced features, including a sunroof, a power liftgate, and larger wheels than those in lower trims. The Adventure trim is a whole redesign, featuring fender flares and taller roof rails. The TRD Off-Road is built in uniquely black features, and it comes with all-terrain tires. At the top of the range is the Limited trim, which features chrome exterior trim. The 2021 RAV4 also comes as a one-of-a-kind plug-in hybrid that is fully electric, the RAV4 XSE Prime.

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 is powered by a standard four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine that generates 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque and is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The standard transmission is also four-wheel drive, but all RAV4 models have the option for all-wheel drive. The Adventure model comes with an all-wheel-drive transmission that can disconnect the rear axle to increase fuel economy.

The 2021 RAV4 is quicker than its predecessors, as it can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in only 7.4 seconds. The vehicle feels stable and solid on the road. It's also economical to drive the RAV4, as the EPA gave it a class-competitive fuel-economy rating. The vehicle can get up to 41 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. The available advanced traction control systems and rear-axle torque-vectoring do an excellent job in improving the vehicle's off-road capabilities. With its descent control, respectable ground clearance, and selectable terrain modes, the RAV4 can conquer the world beyond the end of the trail.

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 puts ergonomics and storage above all in interior features. It comes with a useful shelf that extends along with the dashboard and is topped by a huge center console. The base models have classy steering wheels, single-zone manual controls, and cloth seats. The premium trim levels come with leather upholstery for the seats and leather-wrapped steering wheels. All RAV4s have upgraded infotainment systems that feature 4G LTE mobile hot spots among other great technological features.

The 2021 RAV4 got a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It's well-equipped with standard safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
