Keyes Toyota Welcomes 2018 Toyota RAV4

The 2018 Toyota RAV4 isn’t just one of the most popular crossovers among the Los Angeles customers served by Keyes Toyota. It’s one of the most popular nationwide. With its generous interior space, great suite of standard safety features, and the reliability that comes with every new Toyota vehicle, we’re not exactly surprised. 

Of course, when you’ve got a winning formula, you don’t stray too far. Quite a bit carries over from last model year. That means the same power trains, an extensive set of standard and optional features, and — with one exception — the same looks and trim levels. That doesn’t mean they’ve left it completely alone.

New Toyota RAV4 Features

Some of the changes we’re seeing this year are small ones. The heated steering wheel and the power-operated seats that come to the lower trim levels are new, and there’s also a new exterior color.

One change that we weren’t expecting was the addition of a new Toyota RAV4 Adventure trim. The ground clearance is a bit higher than on the other trims, there’s black surrounds on the fog lights and headlights, a bit more protection against underbody damage, a tow package, all-weather floor mats, a 120V power outlet in the cargo area, and a shift knob trimmed in leather.

The strengths we’ve come to know and love are all still in evidence. The hybrid model returns, with its 1,750 pounds of towing capacity and standard AWD. There’s cargo and passenger space that surpasses many in the segment. And, finally, there’s the size and style. It’s more traditional (and slightly larger) than the 2018 Toyota C-HR, while it’s also a bit smaller and more agile than the larger 2018 Toyota Highlander.
