The reinvented RAV4 is the latest to benefit from Toyota's new global architecture and it looks much more rugged and adventurous than its predecessor. Both the four-cylinder engine and the hybrid powertrain are more potent and more fuel-efficient than before. The standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 package includes several upgraded technologies, while the Entune 3.0 infotainment system integrates Apple CarPlay. An all-new AWD system with dynamic torque vectoring improves off-road performance.
