The interior of the RAV4 is designed as much for comfort as convenience with a long list of appealing amenities that include:

• Comfort and Convenience: Options like an auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated multifunction steering wheel, paddle shifters, power-adjustable seats with driver memory, Smart Key system, and remote entry with pushbutton start and remote power liftgate make the RAV4 easy to adjust to the driver’s needs.
• Cargo: Drivers have access to an easy-reach overhead console as well as up to 73.4 cubic feet of rear cargo space with the seats flat and 38.4 cubic feet with the seats up and the convenient tonneau cover in place.

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist

Under certain circumstances, Lane Departure Alert (LDA)¹ is designed to detect lane departure on roads with clear markings. LDA only activates when you’re traveling at a speed of 32 mph or faster. When you hear and see the alert, after carefully checking the road around you, you should safely direct your vehicle back to the center of your lane. In addition, Toyota vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense^™ P (TSS-P) ² and Electronic Power Steering (EPS) include Steering Assist³ functionality. When it’s activated and senses that you’re unintentionally drifting, the system may automatically make small corrective steering inputs to help keep your vehicle in its lane.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Intended for highways and similar to “constant speed” cruise control, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)⁴ lets you drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which adjusts your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you that are driving at a slower speed. DRCC uses a front-grille-mounted radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect vehicles and their distance. If a driver is traveling slower than you, or within your preset range, DRCC will automatically slow your vehicle down without deactivating cruise control. If DRCC determines you need to slow down more, an audio and visual alert notifies you and brakes are applied. When there’s no longer a vehicle driving slower than your set speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate and regular cruise control will resume.

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

Using an in-vehicle camera and radar to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the Pre-Collision System (PCS)⁵ with Pedestrian Detection⁶ (PCS w/PD) can help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/PD may apply additional force using Brake Assist⁷. If you don’t brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity.

Automatic High Beams

Automatic High Beams (AHB)t⁸ are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night—without blinding other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

The 2017 Toyota RAV4 is a champion choice among critics. Here’s what some of the experts and critics have had to say:

• Cars.usnews: “The redesigned Toyota RAV4 finishes in the top half of our compact SUV rankings. It’s more powerful and more fuel-efficient than the outgoing model, and it’s a solid contender in this crowded class.”
• Edmunds: “Redesigned for, the Toyota RAV4 receives a variety of updates, including a stylish new look, a new engine, and added safety and technology features. No doubt they will contribute to the RAV4’s status as the best-selling small crossover SUV on the market.”
• Auto Week: “As a fuel-efficient way to haul a small family, the RAV4 Hybrid makes sense. One benefit of having eight hybrid models under the Toyota umbrella and another half-dozen Lexus models is that this large volume drives down cost of the components. And that’s very obvious here.”
