With crossovers being en vogue, the 2015 Toyota RAV4 was one of the most versatile car in its class.
The RAV4 had an easy-to-park size, a good fuel consumption (although not leading in its class) and a good size trunk with lots of versatility included with the cargo bay’s low load floor. The upper trims had an optional adjustable-height power liftgate.
The RAV4 was offered in three trim levels: LE, XLE and Limited.
The base model was well-equipped, with standard 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, power-folding mirrors, air-conditioning, cruise control, a rear-view camera, Bluetooth phone and media streaming, as well as a 6.1-inch touchscreen with an AUX jack and an iPod audio interface.
The upper trim added alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, foglights, a sunroof, roof rails and many more.
The top of the range had a premium 11-speaker audio system from JBL and new technology such as a blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alerts, a lane departure warning system and automatic high-beam.
Only one engine option was available with the new RAV4, and that was a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that would be adequate for most situations. The 176 hp engine was mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The interior had a modern look, with good quality materials.
