One of the strongest candidates you’ll find in the crossover SUV category, the 2009 Toyota RAV4 combines interior space and cargo room with a comfortable, easy and fun ride all into one. And with added engine strength in this year’s model, this vehicle is potent under the hood.
The RAV4 comes available in three superb trim levels: base, Sport and Limited. A new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine good for 179-horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque is mated with a four-speed automatic transmission. This vehicle can be equipped with either front- or four-wheel drive. Optional on all trims and coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission is a 3.5-liter V-6 behemoth that offers an even more impressive 269-horsepower that delivers quick acceleration when necessary.
