2018 Toyota RAV4 Engine Options & Performance

The Toyota RAV4 blends both power and efficiency with its 2.5L 4-cyinder engine. This engine gets paired with a 6-speed Electronically Controlled automatic transmission, and is capable of delivering 176 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. The Toyota RAV4 even offers a Hybrid engine for the environmentally conscious driver. This engine delivers a total net system horsepower of 194 while achieving an EPA estimated 34/30/32 MPG city/highway/combined*. The Hybrid engine comes paired with the Continuously Variable Transmission, which not only executes smoother acceleration during performance, but it also adds to the vehicle’s impressive fuel efficiency.

Interior Media & Technology Features

A major appeal of the 2018 Toyota RAV4 is its included entertainment and technology amenities. The vehicle comes outfitted with the Entune® App Suite, which includes the 6.1-inch display that allows you to access your media features via text, or through voice commands. This system lets you access the AM/FM radio, the CD/MP3/WMA, or the devices that are connected through the USB port or the auxiliary input. Drivers can also stream audio from their smartphone through the Bluetooth® system, which also allows for hands-free phone calls, and it even reads your incoming text messages aloud so you can stay connected at all times!

Toyota Safety Sense™ P

One of the most impressive aspects of the 2018 Toyota RAV4 is that it includes driver-assisting technology features at the base trim. The Toyota Safety Sense™ P bundle has features that use the front and rear mounted sensors to detect objects in your path. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection sends you a notification if it feels that a collision is imminent based on your speed and distance. The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist helps you get back on track if your vehicle begins to stray. The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control lets you set your cruising speed, but also keeps a set distance from the vehicle in front of you. If traffic ahead begins to slow down, this system will adapt to the current flow of traffic and keep the distance you set.
