Top 5 Features of the 2021 Toyota RAV4

It’s easy to say that the 2021 Toyota RAV4 is a good vehicle, but what makes it so good? Besides the reliability and quality associated with the Toyota brand, you’ll find five great factors below that make the RAV4 in particular a good car (in no particular order).

Design

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 exterior continues to impress with a sporty design, silver and chrome-finished alloy wheels, and bold front grill. Yet its winged front lights, wraparound tail lights and curved liftgate add the sleekness you expect on a modern vehicle. A range of color schemes, including available two-tone paint, can help to further fulfill your personal tastes. Taking it inside, you’ll find comfortable stitched seating, soft-touch dash, roomy cup holders in front and rear, and an in-dash storage tray. Depending on the trim you select, you can have a more elevated riding experience with available panoramic glass roof, available front and rear heating and cooling system, available SofTex©-trimmed seats and more!

Fuel Efficiency

The 2021 RAV4 earned a class-competitive fuel-economy rating from the EPA, with front-wheel-drive RAV4s managing 35 highway miles-per-gallon. This means you’re saving money while reducing your carbon footprint – a win-win situation. The Adventure trim, that comes standard with all-wheel-drive, was put to the test by Car and Driver on its 200-mile highway fuel-economy route, where they found that the Adventure delivered 32 highway mpg.

Performance

You will find a number of performance features that optimize your driving experience in the RAV4. You can choose between three drive modes to fit the driving experience you want: SPORT (sharper acceleration), ECO (fuel efficiency) and NORMAL (a blend of SPORT and ECO). Multi-link rear suspension helps with handling and control so you can ride smoothly on the road. If you opt for a Toyota RAV4 with all-wheel-drive, you’ll have access to off-roading capabilities and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), which is an accessible center console dial with four modes to optimize driving performance on different surfaces: MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW and NORMAL.

Safety

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 comes standard with a state-of-the-art safety package that helps take the stress out of driving. Let’s start with Toyota Safety Sense™, which is a set of six advanced auto safety features such as Traction Control, Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control, Anti-lock Brake System, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and Smart Stop Technology. Every RAV4 comes standard with eight airbags, including front and rear side curtain airbags for extra protection, so you get a host of amazing safety features without even upgrading from the LE.

However, if you want even more advanced safety, look into upgraded RAV4 trims. Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking is an available feature that will warn you audibly and visibly of anything that’s too close to the back of your vehicle. The available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert will warn you when a vehicle enters your RAV4’s blind spot.

Technology

In 2021, you’ll be expecting a ton of tech in your brand new Toyota RAV4, and it definitely delivers. Depending on the trim you select, you can have convenient features like:

• • Up to 5 USB Ports (comes standard with 1)
  • Smart Key System with Push Button Start
  • Digital Rearview Mirror
  • Qi-compatible Wireless Charger in the center console tray
  • Digital Pedometer with directions, safety alerts and more
  • Toyota Remote Connect, which provides remote control from your smart watch!
