Sport utility vehicles have taken the automotive market by storm. With Toyota leading the way in American sales, it’s a no-brainer that Toyota SUVs are crushing the competition with state-of-the-art features and advanced options. If you’re looking to buy a new SUV or crossover, be sure to consider one of these 2016 models:
4Runner
The Toyota 4Runner has a long history of being the brand’s go-to off-roading SUV, and now the 2016 version looks even more rugged and ready for the unbeaten path than ever. Unlike some competitor SUVs, the 4Runner is a midsize body-on-frame vehicle built to be durable and more capable than any rival. The latest model boasts an upgraded base audio system, an enhanced towing capacity, and cell phone navigation integration. Even better, a rearview camera is standard even on the base model, so you know you’re getting ample features for the money.
Highlander
Available as both a traditional and hybrid vehicle, the 2016 Highlander provides easy third-row access, a flexible second row, and a roomy interior that combine to make it a great alternative to a minivan. You’ll love the wide range of available powertrains and the handsome, versatile styling. The Highlander provides an unexpected car-like feel that’s quite removed from the truck-like performance of the 4Runner, which is a great option for families who don’t need to squeeze in a little off-roading time. You can also choose from a slew of options that include a heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, and more.
RAV4
If you’re in the market for a compact SUV, look no further than the 2016 RAV4. Also available in a hybrid option, the RAV4 boasts brand-new electronic safety systems that have helped it earn a Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Optional safety features include automatic pre-collision braking, a forward collision warning, lane-departure alert, adaptive cruise control, and a pedestrian pre-collision system. It may not be the sportiest SUV on the market, but it sure is sleek and boasts a responsive drive quality that’s unmatched by competitors.
Sequoia
In the full-size SUV market, nothing outperforms like the 2016 Sequoia. Sure, it’s a massive, thirsty SUV with old-school charm, but it also excels at towing and hauling around the biggest of families. Cabin features feel like high-end full-size pickup appointments, and the second- and third-row seatbacks can be folded down to create a flat cargo floor. The new Sequoia also handles better and rides smoother than ever. If you’re not hauling any cargo, this SUV can go from zero to 60 in just 6.7 seconds, which is better than other vehicles of its size. Simply put, when you need a big, bulky SUV designed to tow and haul the kids to school, you’d be hard-pressed to beat the Toyota Sequoia.
Choosing your favorite SUV will ultimately come down to your must-have features and style aesthetics, but Toyota gives you more options to choose from than most automakers. Take one for a test drive today and see which one you prefer.
