2010 Toyota RAV4 Review

 
2010 Toyota RAV4 Review

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the 2010 Toyota RAV4 will deliver 22/28 mpg city/highway - definitely respectable in its class. 3 trims are available: the Base, the Sport and the Limited. And with any trim selected, you will be granted the choice between a 2.5L 179hp I4/4-speed auto tranny combo or a fierce 3.5L 269hp V6/5-speed auto powertrain. You may also choose between a full-time AWD or standard FWD configuration.

A seriously-innovative wagon-style SUV, the 2010 RAV4 Toyota is one of the original compact sport utilities that founded the class. Within the past few years, it has become a larger, more family-friendly vehicle. It also keeps adding to its comprehensive list of standard safety and luxury features. Competitors including the Chevrolet HHR Panel, the Mazda Tribute, Nissan Rogue and Honda CR-V are definitely taking notice. Suggested pricing ranges between $21,500 up to $27,810 - and you're sure to find a lot of value packed into those numbers.

All V6 Toyota RAV4s for 2010 come with standard Hill-Start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control. Of course, there is also loads more standard safety features including an anti-theft system as well as active frontal head restraints. There haven't been many new changes for this year as the RAV4 carries over from 2009. Trim dependent, payload ratings rage between 1057 pounds and 1130 pounds. Likewise, the maximum towing rating will be either 1500 pounds or 2000 pounds depending upon the trim you select.

The 2010 Toyota RAV4, like its predecessors, is known for its abundant interior spaciousness. It definitely feels more like a middle-sized SUV inside. And while bathed in that roomy comfort, all passengers are treated to the quick, responsive and smooth ride quality. The RAV4 is also a champion at delivering convenience and simplicity. Instrumentation panels are well placed and easy to understand. Optional features like integrated satellite radio, reverse monitoring and touchscreen navigation ensure that even the techiest of people are well pleased. Toyota has developed its reputation of excellent over decades - and the RAV4 continues to deliver strongly.
