To understand the success of the Toyota RAV4, you don't have to look very far. Besides its quality and its incredible reliability, elements recognized by all, just take a look at the range and realize that it has 12 variations. In other words, it can meet every possible need.

More affordable RAV4s

Toyota offers entry-level versions of its RAV4. These provide the necessary equipment and safety, without offering more than the customer demands.

These are the LE and XLE models in the catalog. Each is available in its simplest form with a front-wheel drive configuration. It is also possible to take advantage of these two versions with all-wheel drive.

The cottage or a 5-star hotel?

The RAV4 is ready in different ways, so there's also on the menu a version that's perfect for weekend trips that take us off the beaten path, the Trail. The latter has everything necessary to do this, but is also able to tow 3,500 pounds, the only one in the family that offers so much.

If your getaways tend to take the form of social outings, then the Limited version is the perfect choice and comes with all the luxury you need.

All of these versions are powered by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine which offers 203 horsepower, more than any other compact SUV.

“Green” solutions

The other six versions of the RAV4 are electrified; four hybrids and two other plug-in hybrids.

In the case of all four hybrid versions, they use the same engine, but an electric motor assures an incredible average fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers. However, the even more interesting thing is that all four of these versions are all-wheel drive.

The trim levels that are offered are: LE, XLE, XSE and Limited.

Then, to bring up the rear, the version that has garnered the most buzz over the past year, the Prime. With the latter, offered in SE and XSE versions, you can drive in electric mode for 68 kilometers before the gasoline engine jumps in. Depending on the use, it is possible to achieve incredible fuel consumption ratings here. Note that with the XSE version, a Tech package is offered, which further enhances the level of equipment. The Prime version offers 302 horsepower and a towing capacity of 2,500 pounds.

With so many choices, it’s easy to find the perfect 2021 Toyota RAV4 for your needs!
