With its new design, better handling, and a long list of standard features, the 2021 Toyota RAV4 roars onto the scene and revives the crossover SUV segment. Keep reading to learn more about it! 
Diverse Lineup of Models
For 2021, Toyota presents a diverse lineup of trim levels for the RAV4, each with unique characteristics to appeal to a broader range of buys and needs. The 2021 RAV4 could be a charming family/commuter vehicle, a luxury crossover SUV, a sporty and agile vehicle, or an off-road-equipped utility vehicle. But throughout all of these versions, one thing remains constant, Toyota’s world-class engineering and attention to detail are never sacrificed.
Excellent Value
With everything the 2021 RAV4 has to offer, it astounds virtually everyone that its price does not exceed 40k. The six trim levels and price points of the Toyota RAV4 come fully stocked with attractive amenities, and range in price from $27,425 for the base model LE to $37,155 for the top trim TRD Off-Road. The models in between are the XLE ($28,720), XLE Premium ($31,425), Adventure ($34,530), and Limited ($35,955).
Power Under the Hood
Every RAV4 features a 2.5-liter engine that delivers an ample 203 horsepower. It’s more than enough power to nimbly move this crossover SUV and it’s mated to a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The RAV4 also provides an excellent level of functionality, with a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds on all trims except the Adventure and TRD Off-Road. In the case of these two models, the towing capacity increases to an impressive 3,500 pounds.
Available Hybrid Version
For drivers who prefer to “go green”, the 2021 RAV4 comes available with a Hybrid engine that delivers an impressive 2019 horsepower when combining its gas-powered engine and electric motor. But you’re looking for more juice when you press the gas pedal, the hybrid RAV4 Prime rises to the occasion and delivers a gratifying 300 horsepower.
Excellent Fuel Economy
Toyota has designed smooth-driving, fuel-efficient vehicles for decades, so it should come as no surprise that the 2021 RAV4 outlasts the competition on the road. The front-wheel-drive RAV4 netted a fuel economy of 35 mph on highways and 27 mpg in the city. Hybrid models delivered even more impressive results, clearing 41 mph on highways and a driving capacity of 42 miles when running on the electric motor alone.
Functional and Stylish Interior
The cabin of the RAV4 is cozy and practical. A useful cubby shelf under the dash gives the driver and front-seat passenger a convenient storage option for small items. The cabin itself consists of soft-touch materials and high-quality plastics that are both appealing and durable. Opting for the XLE trim gets you a few more perks like faux-leather upholstery, more interior stitching, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
