Engine Specs & Performance Features

To get started, we’ll head right under the hood; you’ll have two different options to choose from.

The standard 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-Cylinder engine puts out 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque capability and is paired with the Direct Shift 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence and sequential shift mode.

Over on the Hybrid trim levels, you’ll find the Hybrid 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-Cylinder engine, which puts out 219 combined horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque capability. This is paired with the Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission with sequential shift mode, which delivers a smooth and easy-to-handle ride while maintaining optimal fuel efficiency.

A front-wheel drivetrain comes standard, but for advanced stability and traction control, be sure to ask about the available all-wheel drivetrain.

Interior Cabin Space & Comfort

Now, we’ll hop right inside the RAV4 and check out just how much space you and your fellow passengers will get. All five of your riders will have plenty of headroom, hip room, legroom, and shoulder room to spread out amongst 98.9 cubic feet of passenger volume.

Back in the trunk, you’ll also have plenty of room for storage with 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space when all the seats are upright. If you need access to a bit more, no worries, just fold down the 2nd-row seats for up to 69.8 cubic feet of space. This means you can easily transport luggage, groceries, sporting equipment, and small furniture.
