A Guide to the New Toyota RAV4 Now For Sale in Escanaba, MI

The Toyota RAV4 is a practical SUV. It has a sizable cabin, advanced technology to keep you connected while you're on the road, and many safety mechanisms that are ready to protect you. On top of all of this, it's a very durable vehicle. It offers useful features so that you can tackle challenges and tough conditions with ease.

Performance and Capability

Toyota has given the RAV4 a standard engine that's quite capable. Most of our models at Riverside Toyota in Escanaba run on 2.5-liter engines with 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is available, and it should be considered by those of you who may occasionally drive on slippery roads or anywhere else your travels take you.

There are also hybrid trims. A hybrid RAV4 runs on a 2.5-liter engine like the others do, but since it has an electric motor, it's able to have a net horsepower of 219. Those of you who follow along with industry news may be aware that there's a RAV4 Prime now available. It's a plug-in hybrid that has more power than our standard and hybrid RAV4s.

If you're someone who has big adventures planned with your Toyota SUV, we'd recommend that you check out the Adventure and TRD Off-Road trims. These both have standard all-wheel drive, a rear driveline disconnect, and various driving modes so you can optimize performance in various situations.

The TRD Off-Road has special suspension, a stainless steel front skid plate, and all-terrain tires so it can better handle itself in extreme conditions.

Interior Features

The RAV4 would be an excellent choice if you're looking for a spacious two-row SUV. People in the second row will have almost 38 inches of legroom, and upfront, the seats are supportive and comfortable. In the back of the vehicle, the cargo area has a volume of over 37 cubic feet. This is much more than what many models have to offer. Plus, you'll be able to fold your rear seats down to give yourself nearly 70 cubic feet of storage space. For this reason alone, the RAV4 is attractive to many prospective customers.

The seats start with fabric upholstery, and in many of the models, there are SofTex-trimmed seats. There could be heated and ventilated front seats as well as heated second-row seats. Even the steering wheel could have a heating element built into it. Some of the other premium features that could be in a new RAV4 are soft-touch armrests, leather-wrapped steering wheels, accent stitching on the seats, and a panoramic glass roof with one portion that can be slid or tilted open.

Every Toyota RAV4 at our dealership has either a seven-inch or eight-inch touchscreen with Amazon Alexa, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM, and Bluetooth. It's great that so many components are built into the infotainment system since it gives you access to all kinds of information. With the ability to act as a Wi-Fi hotspot, the RAV4 gives you an easy way to maintain a high-speed connection to the network.

Many of the trims with eight-inch touchscreens have JBL speakers and integrated navigation.

Safety

There's no doubt that Toyota has become a leader in the industry because of its focus on safety. All of our RAV4s are equipped with comprehensive driver-assist packages. That package includes pre-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, and road sign assist.

And amazingly, our Toyota vehicles can look out for issues, warn drivers about potential problems, and even take action to keep people safe. Some of our models take things to a different level with 360-degree cameras and parking assist systems.
