The RAV4 is one of the most popular SUVs in the nation. The 2019 Toyota RAV4 may push it to the top of that list. With the great number of updates and redesigns Toyota has given it this year, the RAV4 moves from its friendly looking demeanor to a more rugged SUV look that is sure to turn more heads on the street.

Here are some of the sweet body changes the 2019 RAV4 is getting.

  1. More Muscle

The all-new 2019 RAV4’s body looks more muscular than it ever has. The grooves and cuts in its body give a more aggressive, capable look that last year’s model didn’t have. The 2018 RAV4 was more filled out and curved and gave it a family SUV look. This year’s RAV4’s looks have been changed so much, you’ll be able to find something new in the front, sides, and rear of its body. The 2019 RAV4 looks ready for adventure. 

  1. Flared Wheel Wells

The 2019 RAV4 gets more angled, flared wheel wells that it didn’t have last year. The 2018 model’s wells were curved in a half circle without any accents. The 2019 model has black accents forming a half-trapezoid shape that makes the RAV4 look more like a tough, off-road vehicle than its predecessors.

  1. Floating Roof

This year’s RAV4 also comes with some sharp-looking black-out accents that give it the popular “floating roof” look. Instead of a uniform exterior paint job, the RAV4 is more two-toned that last year’s, which gives it more personality on the road. The blacked-out features are located at the rear of the RAV4, near the top. The black lines, which stretch back to the liftgate, make the roof look like it’s sitting on nothing. Though it’s a small change, the beauty is in the details when it comes to SUVs and vehicles in general.

  1. Bigger is Better

The 2019 RAV4 is bigger, better, and worse than the previous year’s. It’s both longer and wider, giving it a stance that’s more befitting of a popular sports utility vehicle. It’s also higher than the previous year’s model, though only by half an inch. The overall effect is boldness — the 2019 RAV4 is a more unforgettable SUV than the previous years’ versions.

  1. Facelift

One of the most noticeable changes its exterior has received this year is to the front fascia. Last year’s RAV4 front section curved down into a grille that was mainly covered up by the body. The 2019 incarnation throws that out the window and takes on more of a traditional SUV front fascia, full of angles and sharp lines. Though it still looks thoughtfully designed, the grille, headlamps, and shape of the front end drastically changed the way the RAV4 looks on the road.
