Its standard 203-horsepower 2.5L 4-cylinder engine comes with great capabilities. It can tow 1,500 pounds when properly equipped and helps the RAV4 get a standard EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG.1 When driving, you can even switch between driving modes like SPORT and ECO to get the performance you want.

If it’s more efficiency you are after, this SUV can get an EPA-estimated 41 city/38 highway MPG when powered by its available hybrid engine.1 You can also get the available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive (TV-AWD) system if you will be taking your RAV4 off-roading. As you go from paved streets to the rocky or sandy trails, just use the Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) system to get optimized performance for whatever specific terrain you are driving over.

Interior Space and Features 

Inside the 2021 RAV4, there will be room for you to bring along family or friends. That is because its cabin has 98.9 cubic feet of passenger volume among its five seats. Plus, pack up any supplies you need to take with you for the day using the 37.6 cubic feet of cargo volume in the back.

On the 7-inch touchscreen front and center in the RAV4, you can personally connect to your smartphone using Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay®. By doing so, you can choose what you’d like to listen to, display directions, and even reply back to text messages.
