2019 TOYOTA RAV4: 4 REASONS TO LOVE THE SUV

Over the years, the Toyota RAV4 has established itself as a leader in its class, and the upward trend continues. North American sales of the compact SUV continued to increase year over year. Today, the arrival of a modernized and highly revised 2019 edition has enabled the RAV4 to become a real steamroller in what is now the most popular automotive segment in North America.

It will help you better understand what the model is; at the very least, it will give you the tools you need to impress the sales representative with your in-depth knowledge!

Improved driving pleasure

The Japanese manufacturer has made it a priority to improve the driving pleasure of people behind the wheel of its products. In this regard, the new Toyota 2020 Supra is certainly Exhibit A. As for the 2019 RAV4, it follows, moderately, the same tracks.

The new TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform adds a little more rigidity to the RAV4, while the two available configurations (single combustion or hybrid) are more powerful than what was previously available, without sacrificing fuel consumption. Even better, the RAV4 hybrid is the more dynamic of the two: it develops up to 219 hp, 203 hp more than the regular model.

The 8-speed automatic transmission works in tandem with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder, while the CVT transmission produces noisy and noisy squeaks from the engine during acceleration. Keep in mind, of course, that the main priority of this unit is to reduce what you pay at the pump.
