It could be argued that the undeniably growing popularity of compact crossover SUVs all started with the Toyota RAV4. As the first of its kind, the Toyota RAV4 was revolutionary, a vehicle that blended the convenience of an SUV with the manoeuvrability of a compact car. The original version debuted in 1994 with the name being an abbreviation of Recreational Active Vehicle with four-wheel drive. Ironically, not all Toyota RAV4 come equipped with four-wheel drive, but as the most popular SUV sold by Toyota, it's generally easy to find in a wide range of prices.
Toyota RAV4 features
A sleeker alternative to many modern SUV options, the compact Toyota RAV4 places practicality above heavy performance. In comparison to the larger Toyota Highlander, the Toyota RAV4 is considered a much more versatile machine while maintaining some of the off-road capabilities that its bigger brother offers. The family-friendly vehicle sports a favourable safety rating while remaining relatively pleasant in manoeuvrability. Additionally, Toyota RAV4 hybrid options are celebrated as being more fuel-efficient than its competition. With a price tag on the low end, the Toyota RAV4 makes sacrifices with a lack-lustre interior and low-end technology, but upmarket options can make the interior plusher.
The many variants of the Toyota RAV4
The Toyota RAV4 is currently in its fifth generation, with fourth-generation versions produced as late as 2019. There are several engine variants available for the latest models, including five gasoline versions and four hybrid options. The fourth-generation models offered three diesel varieties. The five-door Toyota RAV4 can come outfitted with a six-speed or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
