New features for the 2018 Toyota RAV4 include an increased towing capacity, bringing it up from 1,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds. To match that muscle, Toyota has just introduced the all-new Adventure trim, an all-wheel or four-wheel drive model with higher ground clearance and several new features like larger fender flares, black 18-inch wheels, and black headlight and foglamp surrounds. There is also a heated steering wheel on some trims. All 2018 Toyota RAV4s now come with 6.1-inch touch-screen infotainment display, a USB port, Bluetooth, voice recognition, and six speakers to keep you connected and entertained while on the road.

To top it off, the Toyota RAV4 is one of the safest sport utility vehicles on the road. It’s got a host of standard safety options like anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, rearview camera, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control.

Historically, the Toyota RAV4 has been extremely reliable, evident in customer satisfaction and high resale value. It also helps to know that the 2018 model earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ for safety and the government awarded it a perfect five stars. With that reputation, you can drive confidently and look forward to a good resale price when you’re ready to get a new Toyota.

The 2018 Toyota RAV4 seats five on two rows of seats. It’s a smaller crossover SUV, a class that almost never offers a third row. If seating more than five is a must, consider the Toyota Highlander, a midsize sport utility vehicle with third-row seating and one of the best values in its class.

With the RAV4, you can have your pick! Whether you’re off-roading and want four-wheel drive or just looking for something that better grips the road and want all-wheel drive, the RAV4 has you covered. If these options don’t appeal to you, the RAV4 also comes in standard front-wheel drive.
