Three Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Toyota RAV4

The sporty 2025 Toyota RAV4 is an ideal utility vehicle for daily drivers. Packed with thoughtful practical features, the RAV4 can meet all of your driving demands, whether you need to run errands, take a weekend getaway, or stow a large amount of cargo. Explore all the fantastic standard features that make the RAV4 such a joy to drive before you visit your Toyota dealer. 

1. Incredible Efficiency

One reason drivers gravitate toward the RAV4 is its impressive fuel efficiency. The base LE model is available with a front-wheel drivetrain and an all-wheel drivetrain, which slightly impacts the highway fuel efficiency. The LE FWD gets 27 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the freeway, while the LE AWD gets 27 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. 

2. Versatile Cargo Space

The RAV4 has a five-passenger seating capacity with a maximum passenger volume of 98.9 cubic feet, which gives even tall passengers plenty of room to stretch out. The rear cargo area has a dedicated capacity of 37.6 cubic feet, so you can put pet crates, small furniture, and big grocery hauls in the back without changing the seating capacity. By folding down the second-row seats, you can extend the cargo area to 69.8 cubic feet. 

Additionally, the LE has plenty of in-cabin storage space, such as a central console that doubles as a storage compartment, a front storage tray, and convenient in-dash storage trays. 

3. Capable Performance

The base LE FWD model has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder motor that produces 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain gives the SUV enough power to tow a maximum of 1,500 lbs, which is great if you need to tow a small camper or trailer. The powertrain is matched with Stop-Start Engine technology to refine fuel consumption and an eight-speed automatic transmission. 

The LE FWD has Eco, Sport, and Normal drive modes so you can adjust the engine output to match the driving environment. The LE AWD has a Multi-Terrain Select system so you can maximize on-road performance by selecting Rock & Dirt, Mud & Sand, Snow, and Normal drive modes, along with the Sport and Eco modes that come with the FWD model. 

The RAV4 is a well-rounded five-passenger SUV with enough muscle and cargo space for all of your daily utility needs. Drop by Seeger Toyota St. Louis in St Louis, MO to learn about financing deals today.
