Get Great Performance and Fuel Economy at a Competitive Price
This year's RAV4 is arguably priced somewhat higher than its competitors, until the standard fare is compared, making the RAV4s starting MSRP of $24,910 seem like a steal. The sole engine option, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder generates 176 horsepower, and is available in FWD standard, but AWD is available and advised for challenging climates. A six-speed automatic is standard and the only transmission available on the RAV4.
Able to tow approximately 1,500 pounds, the RAV4 can manage small U-Hauls or ATVs. Where other entrants in the crossover class offer more in terms of performance, the RAV4 emphasizes comfort and the ride quality supports that priority in real time. Owing to its well-tuned suspension, the RAV4 tackles uneven terrain without issue.
According to the EPA, expect approximately 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway from the 2017 RAV4. Naturally, opting for AWD results in a decrease - one mile for each metric. The available hybrid variant of the RAV4 returns 34 mpg city, and 30 mpg highway while managing to boost, rather than sacrifice, power. This unique model is one of the few hybrid crossovers available, and is quickly becoming a favorite at Toyota dealers in NH
For those consumers looking to go green without risking reduced performance capabilities, the XLE or Limited Hybrid variants are real game-changers. In fact, U.S. News & World Report named the 2017 Toyota RAV4 the "Best Hybrid SUV for the Money."

An Abundance of Standard Features
Again, for the price, the 2017 RAV4 is astounding with respect to its number of standard features, including equipment like: 6.1-inch touchscreen display, LED projector-beam headlights with automatic on/off feature, LED daytime running lights, rearview camera, six-speaker sound system, Bluetooth capability, USB port, advanced voice recognition, color-keyed rear spoiler, front bumper integrated fog lights, automatic limited-slip differential, and 18.5-inch 5-spoke SuperChrome alloy wheels wrapped in P235/55R18 tires.
Available features are equally impressive and include: a larger, 7-inch touchscreen, 11-speaker sound system, satellite radio, Siri Eyes Free, a 360-degree camera, which provides a total view of areas surrounding the vehicle, and an upgraded infotainment suite, including Pandora, Yelp, Facebook, real-time traffic, weather, sports - you name it.
For those who put a premium on cargo space, the 2017 RAV4 doesn't disappoint. Offering 38.4 cubic feet of space when the back seats are occupied, that area can extend to 73.4 cubic feet once the seats are folded down, which is easy to do, courtesy of the 60/40-split seatback.
A handy available option is the height-adjustable power liftgate, which shorter drivers find especially helpful. Since the cargo floor is set low, it's easy to stow groceries, luggage, or whatever else needs to be toted along. The glove box is ample, and passengers will find plenty of cupholders throughout the cabin.
Toyota touts the 2017 RAV4 as "The right choice for any adventure." This year, courtesy of the new Limited trim, crossover buyers at NH Toyota dealerships can enjoy a level of luxury never before seen from the brand. The compact SUV class is rife with competitors, but the RAV4 stays ahead of the game, thanks to its outstanding safety - considered one of the safest in its class, significant space, and generous number of standard features. For the 2017 model year, Toyota has equipped all of its RAV4 trims with its exclusive Toyota Safety Sense system.
With Toyota Safety Sense, consumers are protected by a grouping of active safety features, including the following: Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Automatic High Beams, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection.
All that is now included as standard fare in every 2017 RAV4 model, making this crossover tough to beat in the safety department. Industry authority, Edmunds, celebrated the safety afforded by the RAV4, stating, "The 2017 Toyota RAV4 ups the ante in the fiercely competitive compact SUV class by including advanced safety features in every trim level."
