From an automotive standpoint, we are certainly living in the era of the crossover SUV. Indeed, these versatile vehicles that are sporty enough to make driving enjoyable but spacious and rugged enough to comfortably tackle off-road terrains have plenty of fans all over the world. The Toyota RAV4 is a pioneer of the SUV market, having been around for a quarter of a century and constantly improving. The 2019 model offers clear proof of Toyota’s commitment to quality and improvement. 

Plenty of Available Trims and Configurations

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is available in five different trim levels, allowing you to configure the perfect vehicle for your particular needs. The available trims are LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, and Limited. Even the base LE trim is exceptionally well-equipped, with features such as 17-inch steel wheels, the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 package, LED headlights, rear privacy glass, and a multitude of connectivity options.

The XLE and XLE Premium trims add other features like bigger alloy wheels, fog lights, a spectacular sunroof, heated mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate controls, an upgraded interior, power liftgate, and four additional USB connectivity ports, and more. The Adventure and Limited trims also add extra style features to go along with the extra equipment, giving the RAV4 a unique look. There are also a variety of available packages that bring the features of the Limited trim to lower trims.

Comfort and Technology

The inside of the RAV4 is comfortable and spacious, with quality materials used throughout the cabin. The 7-inch touch screen can be upgraded to an 8-inch and grants easy access to all the vehicle’s controls. However, there are many physical buttons within the driver’s reach, so your eyes can stay on the road at all times. There are also plenty of connectivity options, like Apple CarPlay, USB ports, and Bluetooth.

Power and Utility

Aside from being smooth and comfortable, the 2019 Toyota RAV4 can also do work. All trims are equipped with a 2.5-liter engine capable of producing 203 horsepower, transmitted down to the wheels with the help of an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Adventure trim can tow up to 3,500 pounds, which makes it perfect if you’re in need of good towing capability. The RAV4 is also great for carrying things, with 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space available behind the rear seats.

Safety

With the 2019 Toyota RAV4 being a great family car, it’s only natural that safety is a top priority. Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is available for all trim levels and it includes active safety features such as forward collision warning with automatic braking in case the object in front gets too close, lane keeping assist warning you when you drift off your lane, adaptive cruise control providing great comfort on long drives, and automatic high beams for increased nighttime visibility.
