Toyota describes the 2015 RAV4 as stylish, smart and adventurous. It’s versatile, looks very sporty and a quality performer on the road, making it a cut above the rest of today’s crossover vehicles.
The 2015 RAV4 has the size and roominess of a full SUV but maintains the convenience, utility, and riding appeal of an upscale sedan. Its remarkable fuel efficiency rating is actually what distinguishes it from being a full-sized SUV.
The RAV4 draws strength from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder dual valve variable timing with intelligence (VVT-i) engine that gives off maximum power of 176 horsepower at 6,000 revolutions per minute so the vehicle has immense power under its hood amid its distinctively styled exterior.
The 2015 RAV4 comes in five different trim levels – the RAV4 FWD LE, the RAV4 FWD XLE, the RAV4 AWD LE, the RAV4 AWD XLE, and the RAV4 AWD Limited. This means that the distinction between the variants lies on whether it’s a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive.
The base model of the 2015 Toyota RAV4, the FWD LE, has excellent fuel efficiency ratings under the new five-cycle testing method. It consumes only 10 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers on city driving and only uses 7.6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers for highway driving
Dynamic exterior and comfortable interior
With emphasis on aerodynamics, the 2015 RAV4 has been confidently styled to make for fun driving, day and night. It is adventure in motion. Its expressive styling in the exterior is complemented by its roomy and comfortable interior, giving it the refined persona but with agile handling, ideal for any type of road adventure.
Inside, the 2015 RAV4 has a total of 42.6 inches of front leg room and 37.2 inches of rear leg room, which is quite roomy for even six-footer passengers because there is still plenty of space left to move around.
The RAV4 has the basic creature comforts and entertainment features including an audio display with Bluetooth capability and whose controls are mounted on the steering wheel, cruise control, power windows, among other features.
Apart from conveniently seating five passengers, the RAV4 has more than sufficient cargo capacity which can still be expanded because of the 60/40 split folding and reclining second-row seats.
Friends and family members would really feel like first-class passengers every time they take the rear seat because with one pull of a handle, they can recline the rear seatbacks and enjoy the ride even more.
Versatile and safe
The 2015 RAV4 is also a versatile crossover utility vehicle. It is actually capable of towing a loaded trailer or another car for that matter with its 680-kilogram or 1,500-pound towing capacity.
The crossover also employs the Toyota Star Safety System accident avoidance technological features to ensure the safety of its driver and passengers. That is in addition to the basic safety features like airbags, anti-lock braking system, rear-view camera, among many others.
