RAV4 Video Road Test
A Compact SUV That Lives Larger Than The Competition
Toyota’s RAV4 is a compact SUV that lives life a little larger than its competitors, with a spacious interior and even offering optional third-row seating. The sport-grade RAV4 we tested was equipped with a 269 horsepower engine, 18-inch wheels and sport-turned suspension. Overall, the RAV4’s upgrades for the current generation include a new standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, new styling with a restyled grille and front bumpers, improved fog light trims and redesigned tail lamps.
