Sometimes, one look is all it takes. After all, first impressions are lasting. In the case of the Toyota RAV4, its athletic build shows without a doubt that it means business.
The RAV4’s DNA—or rather, its TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture)—is evident in its longer, wider body and well-fortified core. The aggressive grille and muscular fenders frame rugged wheels, offering an imposing presence. As the RAV4 approaches, it announces that it’s ready to meet whatever it encounters and has the confidence to face it head-on.
Whereas some contenders might prefer to camouflage themselves or fly under the radar, the Toyota RAV4 was born to stand out. Its diverse palette offers such unique shades as:
Within its 18 exterior color options are two-tone combinations that feature a roof in Ice Edge or Midnight Black.
Even when you’re used to taking on adverse conditions—or perhaps because you are—you can fully appreciate the comforts available inside the RAV4, including:
Whenever you’re on the move, it’s reassuring that you can still enjoy a few comforts of home.
Improve your view, and that of your fellow sojourners, thanks to standard LED interior lighting that shines as a beacon in the darkness, illuminating the cabin. The available panoramic glass roof provides sky views to everyone in your troop, adding natural light by day and stargazing opportunities at night.
Looking the part is only one aspect of the equation. Being able to complete your mission, whatever that might be, requires having the right equipment and knowing how to use it. When you inspect the Toyota RAV4 further, you’ll find it’s ready for anything, whether you plan to stay on the asphalt or head off-road into the wild.
When beginning any type of expedition, you’ll want to know you have the reserves necessary. The Toyota RAV4’s standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine lets you harness 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, you can lessen your carbon footprint by choosing one of several hybrid variants that offer 219 combined net horsepower.
Available Multi-Terrain Select helps maximize performance on different types of terrain with these drive modes:
You’ll be fully confident and ready for any type of road or weather conditions.
The greatest warriors steel themselves with additional ordnance. The Toyota Corolla enables you to do the same with its available TRD (Toyota Racing Development)-tuned suspension that will provide greater control and ensure a smooth ride when you head off-road. To enhance stability even further, available Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive sends torque independently to each wheel, greatly improving traction in the roughest outback.
The RAV4 comes outfitted for a variety of scenarios. Its 8.6 inches of ground clearance means it’s ready to do battle with dirt paths, rough-hewn trails, and minor creeks and streams. The available skid plate serves as body armor to help protect the undercarriage. Once you’ve reached camp, you can use the standard 12V/120W power outlet in the rear cargo area to plug in and pump up an air mattress or turn up the jams.
You’ll need sufficient space to carry your load. The RAV4 offers 37.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats to stow and go when your full crew is on board. Have more gear and fewer passengers? Fold down those seats to access the RAV4’s max cargo capacity of 69.8 cubic feet.
You can even utilize the available cross bars with tie-downs to carry additional equipment (like a tent, cooler, or bike), or haul a small boat or camper, thanks to the RAV4’s 3,500-pound towing capacity when properly equipped.
When out in the field, you and your troops need reliable methods to communicate and remain connected to home base. If you can maintain morale by providing entertainment during those long deployments, so much the better. Additionally, you want to ensure the protection of everyone on board, so you all return safe and sound.
Staying in the know while on the go requires intelligence, and the Toyota RAV4 has the standard instrumentation you need to fit out your communications:
Add to your intel arsenal with the available Qi-compatible wireless charging pad to ensure your smartphone remains fully powered. You can also draft a wide variety of subscriptions to access such services as a Wi-Fi hotspot, Cloud Navigation, or Emergency Assistance, whenever you need them most.
Each time you head out in your RAV4, you’ll benefit from peace of mind thanks to standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5. This suite of driver-assistance systems includes:
Ever wish you had eyes in the back—or even the sides—of your head? Two available systems in the RAV4 are the next-best things and can essentially provide you with both:
Thanks to these safety features, you can ensure your troops are securely protected on all sides, including their flanks.

When comparing the Toyota RAV4 and the Chevy Equinox, there are often more differences than similarities.
