Take the 2020 Toyota RAV4 on Your Next Adventure

If you’re always up for an adventure, you need a vehicle that can keep up. An SUV is generally the best option, especially if you spend time off the beaten path. Be sure to consider the 2020 Toyota RAV4 as your adventure vehicle of choice, as it boasts impressive versatility and an up-for-anything attitude.

Sleek and Rugged Exterior

In 2019, Toyota redesigned the popular RAV4, so the 2020 model plays off the enhancements made in that full redesign, showcasing bolder styling elements and a more rugged exterior. Even the base model comes equipped with automatic multi-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, 17-inch steel wheels, black low-profile roof rails, aerodynamic underbody panels, dual chrome exhaust tips, and power-adjustable manually folding side mirrors.

If you do plan to take your RAV4 off-roading, check out the Adventure and TRD Off-Road trims. The Adventure boasts a few styling flourishes, a unique set of wheels, higher roof rails, fender flares, and selectable terrain driving modes. With the TRD Off-Road, you get all-terrain tires, unique black trim accents, a power-operated tailgate, and an off-road-tuned suspension.

Spacious Cabin

The cabin of the 2020 RAV4 is also quite roomy, making it a contender in the compact SUV segment. The front row has 41 inches of legroom, while the rear passengers have nearly 38 inches of legroom. The cargo area provides 37.6 cubic feet of space for your adventure gear, but if you put down the second row of seating, this increases the capacity to 69.8 cubic feet. Standard interior equipment includes manual climate control, cloth upholstery, manual front seats, and a six-speaker sound system with a 7-inch touch screen and USB port. Using your RAV4 as an adventure vehicle doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on upscale features. The Adventure trim has a larger 8-inch touch screen, faux leather upholstery with orange stitching accents, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a cargo area storage net. You can also add options like heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and wireless smartphone charging.

Powerful Performance

Every 2020 RAV4 comes equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 184 pound-feet of torque and 203 horsepower. It pairs with an eight-speed manual transmission that sends power to the front wheels on all trims except the TRD Off-Road and Adventure. They will come standard with all-wheel drive along with additional enhancements like hill descent control and terrain-based selectable driving modes.

Advanced Safety Aids 

Toyota provides its Safety Sense 2.0 package as standard across the board, which brings advanced active safety features to the RAV4. These features include lane departure alert with steering assist, full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, road sign assist, pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and front and rear parking sensors are optional on the lower trims and standard on the higher trims.
