Performance

TRD Off-road Capability

A TRD-tuned suspension with enhanced rebound control and red coil springs with revised spring rates mean better ride quality, while the skid plate helps protect the underside when tackling gravel-covered roads. With 203 net combined horsepower, an 8-speed transmission, Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD (TV-AWD) and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), it’s no wonder our TRD engineers jumped at the chance to redefine what TRD Off-road stands for.

Multi-Terrain Select

RAV4 features standard Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) on All-Wheel Drive (AWD) gas models. Choose between four modes (MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW and NORMAL) for enhanced traction. When activated, the system is designed to sense slippage and regulate wheel spin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle, brakes and drive-force distribution—helping to maximize driving performance on different surfaces.

Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD With Rear Driveline Disconnect

Available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive (TV-AWD) helps enhance responsiveness and stability by sending up to 50 percent of the power to the rear and then further distributing that power to the right or left wheel. To help boost fuel efficiency, Rear Driveline Disconnect will stop sending power to the rear when it isn’t necessary.

Drive Modes

Three distinct drive modes let you tailor RAV4’s driving dynamics to match your mood. SPORT Mode provides sharper acceleration, Eco Mode helps maximize fuel efficiency, and NORMAL Mode blends fuel economy with performance.

Multi-Link Rear Suspension

Enjoy a smooth ride that delivers driving confidence. RAV4’s multi-link rear suspension helps enhance handling and control by working with its natural body rigidity in order to keep traction steady.

Exceptional Ride, Handling and Comfort

RAV4’s Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform refines the drive wherever you take it. A long, wide stance makes the handling more responsive, while a strong core gives you a ride that is smooth and confident.

Safety and Convenience

Eight Airbags

RAV4 comes standard with a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System with driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, driver knee airbag, front passenger seat-cushion airbag, in addition to front and rear side curtain airbags—eight airbags total.

Star Safety System™

Smart tech helps keep you safe. This standard comprehensive suite of six advanced safety features is designed to help keep you out of harm’s way. The system includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology® (SST).
