Toyota RAV4 on sale now at Napleton's Toyota of Urbana.
It's one of the most popular SUV/crossover vehicles on the road today and for good reason. The new Toyota RAV4, now on sale at Napleton's Toyota of Urbana, offers spark, capability, a solid feel, generous standard equipment and more. But best of all, it's a Toyota and it doesn't ride like a truck!
What's a RAV4?
The Toyota RAV4 is a subcompact car-based crossover SUV. Along the way, it has garnered many awards and is considered one of the most popular vehicles on the road today. It's a five-passenger four-door hatchback SUV powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two motors making 236 net combined horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. That torque is transferred through an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission and sent to the RAV4's front- or all-wheel-drive system.
Now in its sixth-generation, which was introduced in 2026, the RAV4 removes the gas model and only offers the RAV4 as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid. Learn more below.
How does the RAV4 look?
Definitely not cookie-cutter, the new RAV4 features an angular look at our world. Beginning with a truck-like grille that is faceted to aid in cooling and design concerns, the RAV4 includes thoughtful touches like a clamshell-style hood, LED lighting and squared-off wheel arches.
Some trim levels feature aggressive-looking wheels accented by contrasting color paint schemes, which help them make a statement to the rest of the motoring world. Black body cladding, model-specific front bumpers and large over-fenders are accent marks for the Adventure and TRD off-road trim schemes.
The RAV4 XLE and Limited models eschew the tough look to pursue a more elegant appearance with single-color paint schemes and polished 17-, 18- and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Inside the RAV4
One of the most upscale compact crossover interiors in the segment, the RAV4 boasts an impressive look and feel with plenty of soft-touch material located throughout. Take the center stack and its infotainment display screen, for example. It features a very visible 10.5-inch screen in base models but steps up to an 12.9-inch display in the higher trim models. The screen serves as the control center for such features as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa. It is also the base for the RAV4's Navigation and audio systems.
Though there are power-adjustable front seats (standard on select trims), the interior is not exactly Spartan in appearance. Seats are covered in a choice of fabric or SofTex simulated leather, with a variety of accent stitching throughout. Then there is cargo space: The RAV4 offers 37.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat. Fold those forward and that area grows to a total of 70.4 cubic feet.
Favorite options in the RAV4
There are plenty of available options that can help you make the RAV4 truly your own. Here are a few of our favorites:
- A panoramic moonroof and, if so desired, a contrasting roof color.
- 20-inch alloy wheels add an aggressive look to your RAV4
- Hands-free power liftgate. With a sweep of your foot, the tailgate opens without touching.
- Dual-zone automatic climate control. This latest generation of RAV4 includes rear vents.
- Heated/Ventilated front seats. There is nothing better on a cold winter night or a hot summer day.
- Digital rearview mirror.
- 3D 360-degree overhead view and curb view camera
There are more, including safety features like blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and an 9-speaker JBL premium audio system.
All-wheel-drive is available on LE, XLE Premium, SE, XSE, Woodland, and LTD models. They are just the thing for those who routinely travel off-road or live in the Snowbelt.
Behind the wheel of the Toyota RAV4
Driving the new Toyota RAV4 finds a crossover that features a revvy 2.5-liter inline-4 engine paired with two motor-generators that is eager to please regardless of where your travels take you. We found it shifting through the gears of the electronically controlled continuously variable transmission quickly so that it could get to the sweet spot of maximum fuel efficiency. With a minimal amount of wind and road noise, we found a comfortable, quiet crossover that wanted to take us where we wanted to go when we wanted to.
What more could you expect from such a ride?
How about some Torque Vectoring? The RAV4 adventure model has it, along with a high-ride and large tire and wheel package. The torque vectoring can send up to 50-percent of its available power to the rear wheels and vary how much torque is sent from left to right and back. It's just the thing for hitting the trails or on snowy or wet roads.
The Swiss Army Knife of SUVs?
It could be! The RAV4 is such a competent, versatile vehicle that seems to handle every situation it finds itself in. But there is so much more to learn about it. Please stop in at Napleton's Toyota of Urbana to find out more today.
