2019 Toyota RAV4: The pioneer gets even better

The Toyota RAV4 is not just another compact SUV in the compact SUV segment, it's actually the pioneer in the compact SUV segment. Completely redesigned this year, the 2019 Toyota RAV4 takes everything we already liked from Toyota's compact SUV and improves it.

It is more spacious and more versatile, and its engine is more powerful while being more fuel efficient. It offers everything we want from a sport utility vehicle for the family and should have no trouble maintaining its title as the best-selling compact SUV in Canada.

Let's take a closer look at the notable improvements to the new 2019 Toyota RAV4.

A more powerful engine and a lot of equipment

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is powered by a standard 203-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. This is the only compact SUV available in Canada today that offers more than 200 horsepower from the base engine.

Despite all its power the 2019 Toyota RAV4 remains very fuel efficient, more fuel efficient even than the older generation. With a new 8-speed automatic that dramatically improves engine efficiency, the new 2019 Toyota RAV4 has an average fuel economy of just 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway.

Starting at $ 27,990 in FWD versions, the new 2019 Toyota RAV4 is also available in AWD. Despite the addition of an all-wheel drive system, the RAV4 has an average fuel economy rating of just 9.2 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway.

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 offers a combination of power and fuel economy that will be appreciated by consumers.

In terms of equipment, the new RAV4 comes standard with heated front seats, the Entune 3.0 infotainment system and Apple CarPlay connectivity.

It also offers more active safety equipment than any other compact SUV and offers it as standard. At Toyota, it is believed that safety should not be optional, and this is why the new RAV4 offers Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 at no extra charge.

TSS 2.0 is a set of active safety technologies that includes adaptive cruise control, automatic steering with lane departure monitoring and automatic braking with pedestrian detection. You also get the Blind Spot Monitoring System and the Rear Cross Traffic Monitoring systems.

Finally, if you have to drive off the beaten path with your new RAV4, the Trail version will be able to meet all your expectations with its more robust style, but most importantly, its exclusive all-wheel-drive system with advanced dynamic torque modulation that can uncouple the rear drive shaft for truly amazing performance on an off-road trail.
