2024 Toyota RAV4 in Framingham
2024 Toyota RAV4
The 2024 Toyota RAV4 brings together everything most people want in a vehicle: function, efficiency, and
style. That's why it's no surprise that the RAV4 has been America's favorite crossover for six years
running. This ever-practical Toyota provides ample accommodations for five, along with room for
groceries or gear. It even gets as much as 35 mpg, saving its drivers considerable cash versus other
vehicles.
At the same time, a chiseled exterior with strong vertical lines gives the RAV4 bold and dynamic looks,
especially now that there's an option for a two-tone paint job. It's one way that helps set it apart in
the crowded compact crossover segment. Distinctiveness also comes from six trim choices, including the
extra-capable TRD Off-Road and the upscale Limited trims.
Trims and Powertrain
There are six versions of the 2024 RAV4: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. They
all get an efficient powertrain consisting of a 203-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an
eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive (AWD) is standard on the Adventure and TRD Off-Road
and optional on the other four trims, which get front-wheel drive by default.
The EPA-estimated fuel economy for FWD-equipped RAV4s ranges from 27-28 mpg in the city and 34-35 mpg on
the open road (varies by trim). With AWD, the RAV4 is rated for 25-27 mpg around town and 32-34 mpg on
the highway. The maximum towing capacity is 1,500 pounds for all but the Adventure and TRD Off-Road,
which can pull up to 3,500 lb. You'll have 69.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the front row and up
to 37.6 cubic feet in the cargo area.
Standard Features and Major Optional Packages
The LE starts with remote keyless entry, fabric upholstery, manual climate control, LED exterior lighting
with automatic headlights, rear privacy glass, power side mirrors, a 7-inch driver information display,
a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, and 17-inch steel wheels with covers. The XLE expands the comfort
and convenience features with proximity keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear
seat vents, an eight-way power driver's seat, push-button start, heater power side mirrors with
integrated turn indicators, roof rails, a cargo cover, variable intermittent windshield wipers, and
17-inch alloy wheels. Buyers of this trim can elect to add the Weather Package (a heated leather-wrapped
steering wheel, heated front seats, and rain-sensing windshield wipers) and the Convenience Package (a
power liftgate and a power moonroof).
The XLE Premium has all the equipment of the XLE with the Convenience Package plus SofTex upholstery,
LED fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, soft-touch interior accents, and
19-inch alloy wheels. The available XLE Premium Weather Package adds a heated steering wheel, heated
front seats, driver's seat memory, and rain-sensing wipers. The rugged Adventure trim gets standard AWD
but otherwise shares much of the same features with the XLE. It also gets black-themed exterior
treatments (including large overfenders), unique interior accents, and 19-inch wheels. This trim is also
eligible for the Weather and Convenience Packages.
The even more rugged TRD Off-Road gives the RAV4 capabilities beyond the pavement thanks to a TRD-tuned
suspension, a stainless-steel front skid plate, and 18-inch flow-formed alloy wheels with Falken
all-terrain tires. Its other amenities are a power moonroof, a power liftgate, exclusive cabin accents,
and unique exterior treatments. The Weather Package can be added for heated and ventilated front seats,
a heated steering wheel, and rain-sensing wipers.
At the top of the list, the Limited satisfies those who want the most upscale RAV4. It complements the
XLE Premium's features with heated front seats, Bi-LED headlights, a 12.3-inch driver information
display, a digital rearview mirror, ambient interior lighting, and dark-brown cabin accents. At this
level, the options include the Weather Package (heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering
wheel, heated rear outboard seats, and rain-sensing wipers) and the Advanced Technology Package (a power
moonroof, a power liftgate, enhanced proximity keyless entry, a surround-view monitor, and wireless
device charging).
Advanced Driver Aids and Safety Technology
Toyota's Safety Sense 2.5 collection of driver-assist features is standard in every 2024 RAV4. It includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and road sign assist. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is available for the LE and included on the other trims. The Limited gets front and rear parking assist with automatic braking, which is optional with the XLE Premium and TRD Off-Road. All trims get a full array of airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, Smart Stop Technology (to prevent unintended acceleration), and a rearview monitor.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The lower trims get the default infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, while a 10.5-inch touchscreen is standard in the TRD-Off Road and Limited (it's also an available upgrade for the XLE Premium and Adventure). All trims get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth, and a sound system, which has six speakers in all but the Limited, which is loaded with an 11-speaker JBL sound system (this upgrade is available on all of the lower trims except the LE). Access to a Wi-Fi hotspot and Toyota Connected Services (for Cloud Navigation, emergency support, and remote features) comes standard with all.
