Value, thy name is RAV4.
Offering superior quality, performance and overall value, the 2011 Toyota
RAV4 sits quite comfortably at the top of the compact crossover segment.
In RAV4, Sport and Limited trims, Toyota's crossover (starting MSRP
$22,025) walks a confident line between aggressive and sophisticated. Its
powerful stance, available roofrack and generous sculpting play nicely against
premium features like available 18-inch, five-spoke alloys, a power sunroof,
multi-reflector halogen headlamps and LED taillights. The RAV4's prominent nose
is balanced by a full-size spare mounted on a side-opening rear tailgate, and an
available Appearance Package replaces the hard-shell spare cover with a sleek
rear door, power heated side mirrors, striking chrome accents and a set of
run-flat tires.
Standard RAV4s get Toyota's spirited 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine,
which makes 179 hp and 172 lb/ft of torque through a four-speed electronically
controlled automatic transmission and achieves an impressive 28 highway mpg.
Choose the available 3.5-liter V6, and the crossover makes 269 hp and 246 lb/ft
of torque through an upgraded five-speed automatic. A carefully designed,
aerodynamic chassis, Electric Power Steering and an advanced, independent
MacPherson strut front, double wishbone rear suspension setup (with a set of
sport-tuned shocks and springs on the RAV4 Sport trim) give Toyota's do-it-all
precise steering that fits quite nicely with its ample power.
For tough surfaces, the RAV4 also sports the enhanced
traction of an available Electronic On-Demand 4-Wheel Drive system, which
quickly and easily switches from front-wheel drive to 4WD when called upon.
Equipped models also get Toyota's available Hill Start Assist Control and
Downhill Assist Control systems, which are designed to ensure more confident
control on steep climbs and daunting descents. And every RAV4 comes standard
with Toyota's Star Safety System, which includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC), Traction Control (TC) and intelligent antilock brakes with
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop
Technology.The RAV4's attractive and ergonomic exterior is as flexible as it is
spacious. Available leather-trimmed seats are heated in front while second-row
seats slide and recline for optimum comfort and legroom. An available 50/50
Split and Stow 3rd Row™ seats an additional two passengers
or folds down to create a flat rear cargo area, and both second- and third-row
seats fold flat to unlock up to 73 cubic feet of cargo space. The RAV4 also
features innovative, hidden underfloor storage and a number of clever bins,
pockets and compartments throughout the cabin.
The cockpit, thoughtfully arranged and modern with easy-read
amber-illuminated gauges and attractive instruments, gets a nice grouping of
standard and optional technology. Standard with a six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo,
auxiliary input jack and XM Satellite Radio capability, the RAV4 also offers an
available touchscreen DVD navigation system with XM NavTraffic™, and
a six-CD, nine-speaker JBL® premium audio system with
Bluetooth® hands-free communication and steering wheel-mounted
controls.
In addition to the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TC)
and advanced braking systems of its comprehensive Star Safety System, Toyota has
equipped its latest crossover with an impressive list of standard safety
measures. Every RAV4 comes complete with active headrests, a tire-pressure
monitor and front, side and side-curtain airbags, as well as structural
enhancements like side-impact door beams, a collapsible steering column, an
energy-absorbing front end and energy-dissipating interior trim.
The 2011 Toyota RAV4 has many competitors in the crowded crossover field,
but no equals.
