Описание: #rav4 #toyota #le #2025

Here's my quick review of Toyota's final attempt at a non-hybrid #toyotarav4
Is the #gas Rav4 even worth considering since Toyota has mastered the Hybrid variant?

Since 1996, the Toyota RAV4 has brought drivers a blend of functionality and style that is hard to beat. Whether it’s a Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, or gas model, the RAV4 gives customers a choice of capable, efficient powertrains. It also brings rugged good looks with its wide grille, broad fenders, and available single or two-tone exterior colors. It is no wonder the RAV4 is the best-selling model in the Toyota lineup.

The 2025 RAV4 offers the standout style drivers expect from the fifth–generation small SUV. Engineered to tackle urban, suburban and outdoor adventures, the fifth–generation RAV4 is built on the Toyota New Global Architecture-K (TNGA-K) platform. With a boldly chiseled design inspired by Toyota’s tough trucks, and an elevated view of the road, the RAV4 amplifies the desirable crossover traits that made the first RAV4 an instant success over a quarter-century ago. It also brings spacious functionality to the party, with seating for five and a 60/40 folding rear seat to expand its rear cargo area.

RAV4 Hybrid models are available in a choice of LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Woodland Edition, SE, XSE, and Limited grades. All RAV4 Hybrid models come equipped with AWD standard for all-weather capability and confident on-road driving dynamics. The RAV4’s Toyota Hybrid System works in sync with the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine to give drivers a combination of performance and efficiency, making it a no-compromise small SUV with a system net combined output of 219-HP and up to a manufacturer-estimated 39 MPG combined rating (Hybrid LE AWD grade).

The RAV4 is also available in a choice of 2.5L 4-cylinder LE, XLE, XLE Premium, and Limited gas-powered grades. All gas-powered grades come in a choice of Front– or All Wheel Drive. Drivers can experience an exceptional blend of power, performance, and comfort with the 2.5L engine paired to a Direct Shift 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) that has a manufacturer-estimated 27 mpg city / 35 mpg highway / 30 combined MPG (LE FWD) rating. The gas-powered RAV4 Adventure and TRD Off-Road grades will not be offered in model year 2025.

The 2025 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid will be available in a variety of single and two-tone colors and will have available fabric or SofTex®-trimmed seats, depending on powertrain and grade. Models are expected to start arriving in the fall of 2024. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starts at $28,850 on the LE FWD gas grade and $31,900 on the LE Hybrid grade, excluding Dealer Processing and Handling (DPH), for complete Toyota lineup MSRP and DPH click here.
