Who’s It For?

With 6 gas-powered and 7 hybrid trims to choose from, there’s a 2024 Toyota RAV4 to suit almost any taste. Higher trim levels like the Limited and XLE Premium stand out with their available SofTex-trimmed seats, complete with 8-way adjustability for drivers. You can also store all types of knick-knacks in the conveniently placed shelf located between the passenger-side dash halves. Other cubby holes and features like USB ports are sprinkled throughout the cabin. For more rambunctious thrill seekers, the aptly named Adventure and TRD Off-Road trims enhance both off-road capability and the RAV4’s handsome looks. Expect rugged body cladding with distinctive matte-black accents and unique alloy wheels, among other enhancements. A TRD-tuned suspension helps the TRD Off-Road better navigate challenging obstacles without losing its poise on the open road. The already expansive cargo area comes with plenty of convenient touches, including an optional 120-volt/100-watt AC power outlet for keeping your favorite camping tools and electronics alive.

Real World Performance

Under the 2024 RAV4’s cleverly-sculpted hood is a tried-and-tested favorite – a 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated hybrid 4-cylinder engine. With 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, this engine punches well above its weight and makes charging up onramps and the occasional interstate pass as effortless as one can expect. Drivers can toggle between three drive modes – NORMAL, SPORT, and ECO – to better tailor the drive towards performance, efficiency, or comfort. An 8-speed automatic transmission delivers power to your choice of the front wheels or all four when you opt for all-wheel drive. 



And speaking of all-wheel drive, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 boasts two systems – a standard setup available on the LE, XLE, and XLE Premium trims and a more advanced system complete with dynamic torque vectoring. The latter sends up to 50 percent of the RAV4’s power to either one of the rear wheels to help maintain stability under adverse road and weather conditions. There’s even a rear driveline disconnect feature that makes the RAV4 front-wheel drive only to save fuel whenever the extra traction isn’t needed.
