The Toyota RAV4 is shaking things up in the automotive industry. It’s the best-selling small SUV on the lot, and few rivals reflect the sensibilities of the Toyota RAV4. The 2019 redesign is a big deal, bringing updated exterior styling, a refreshed interior, and all the latest safety technology. Let’s get to know the best features of the 2019 Toyota RAV4.
Choose Traditional or Hybrid Performance
RAV4 shoppers get to choose between two powertrains, starting with a Dynamic Force 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder. Outfitted on RAV4’s five gas-only models, this engine comes with variable valve timing and an eight-speed direct-shift automatic transmission.
Next up is the latest Toyota Hybrid System II that’s paired with the same Dynamic Force 2.5-liter i4. Plus, you get an electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission. Standard equipment on the RAV4’s hybrid models, the THS II increases average fuel returns.
Distinctive Interior
Toyota gave the interior of the new RAV4 a more streamlined and elegant appearance to match the fresh aesthetic outside. You’ll notice an improvement on the quality of materials used throughout the cabin, with soft-touch surfaces, and handsome stitching. The sculpted dash, replete with plenty of techy details, gives the cabin an upscale, modern look, while the center stack offers horizontal controls for the HVAC system.
The Latest Gadgets
The 2019 RAV4 is jam-packed with the latest infotainment features. It all runs on the Entune 3.0 multimedia system, with Wi-Fi connectivity, Amazon Alexa, and Apple CarPlay.
Music lovers appreciate the available, upgraded JBL audio system. Get new features with this improved design, including an updated system architecture with 11 speakers, eight channels, and 800 watts of power that deliver premium sound quality.
Remodeled Exterior
Toyota offers six trim levels for the 2019 RAV4, including XLE, XSE, XSE Hybrid, Adventure and Limited. Each one is decked out with popular options and exterior aesthetics. From the front, this year’s RAV4 takes on a sportier appearance, with a more angular nose and well-defined fascia.
