Toyota helped to start the booming market of small crossover SUVs back in the mid 90's and they haven't slowed down since.
Enter the 2017 Toyota RAV4 Limited. Now a 5 door, 5 passenger cargo hauler available in 5 trim levels, with both front and all wheel drive options the RAV4 has grown into an adult.
New for 2017 is TSS-P, now standard on every RAV4 regardless of trim. TSS-P stands for Toyota Safety Sense P which is an upscale safety suite comprised of Pre Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist function, Auto High Beams and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. This is on top of the standard Star Safety System which includes aids such as traction and stability control along with Smart Stop Technology. That's a lot to digest. What it all boils down to is that the RAV4 is one safe little ute and should things go awry, it will give all it has to protect you.
Time is well spent in the spacious cabin. Standard in every RAV4 is Bluetooth phone and audio streaming so you can pump up the jams. Want more pump for your jams? Toyota has you covered with the optional JBL Sound system. No longer must you worry about reversing into something with a backup camera installed into every RAV4 leaving the factory. Thaw out with dual zone automatic climate control, heated seats and steering wheel and the peace of mind knowing you have the Toyota reputation behind you.
It's easy to see why Toyota sells so many RAV4's. Reliable, safe, practical and comfortable all weather transportation for the masses. Seems like a win to me.
Grappone Toyota is located in Bow, NH just south of Concord and only 20 minutes from Manchester. Conveniently located at the intersection of I89/I93 - come see why we are Driven to Amaze!

Hey Hollis. You seem to not mind the snow which is a good thing. But with you driving in the boonies the snow actually didn't look too bad, lol. But it sucks that all of that nasty salt and grime built up on the vehicle, it gives me the creeps when we get icy weather. The JBL woofer looks like the same one in the Tacoma limited. Ignore the naysayers, this is an outstanding vehicle that you would get longevity out of!

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 жыл бұрын

Hey Kenny, the JBL sub is probably very similar if not the same. Makes sense for cost effectiveness on their part. And you're right, I love driving in the snow. Dealing with it on a daily basis is another story lol.

Bought the 2017 SE FWD for my wife as she loved the interior and the stereo... buy the AWD Platinum if you live in the mountains as we do! I'd buy the AWD even though it won't handle as well on dry pavement. The Tahoe winter has been rough and we've had to use chains with our snow tires. We're averaging 29mpg in Tahoe running Maverik's ethanol free unleaded (eco-mode).

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks Cody Santor. As with any vehicle, much of how it handles ice is do to the tires mounted. Dedicated winter tires will make even the worst of winter cars handle traverse easier. I was fortunate and didn't encounter any ice on my drive, but the snowy slushy roads that I did travel the RAV4 handled with ease.

If compared AWD system between RAV4 and Highlander, is there huge difference how it handles in snow and icy roads used with exact same tires?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 жыл бұрын

Mian Ahmad, I don't have technical documents on the AWD systems that are in these two Toyotas, however it seems logical that they would be very similar systems in order to reduce cost of manufacture. Both the RAV4 & Highlander that I took out in the snow did an admirable job, it was the tires that really limited the vehicles. Regardless of the drivetrain I always have and will recommend winter tires for their superior ability to handle snow/ice - my family and I won't go without them, and I have AWD.

@thetechlibrarian 2 жыл бұрын

It’s great in the snow with good tires as long as you don’t get hung up in the middle then it’s all over. There is not enough power to the rear wheels to get out of something like that.

Grappone Automotive Group is there a difference between awd and regular for daily driving on paved roads? I have the 2015 xle

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 жыл бұрын

Dom I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. Are you asking if there is a difference between driving the front wheel drive or AWD RAV4 on a dry paved road? If so, no you will not notice any difference. The AWD on the RAV4 sends minimal power to the rear wheels unless the system detects slippage, so most of the time an AWD RAV4 will "feel" like a front wheel drive RAV4. Hope that's helpful?

@smallnuts2 7 жыл бұрын

yes, thanks for your time. We plan to get another Rav 4 since we need another car. There very easy to drive and good on gas.

The front passenger seat is powered on the Limited and Platinum trim levels, it has 4 way adjustment. While I don't claim to know everything about the Toyota all wheel drive system, I do know the basics of how it operate since I used to work in the Toyota Service Department.

The front of the vehicle shall be semi- AUDI Q8 2018, and the rear of the vehicle shall be semi- BMW X7 2018 .

how do you think the fuel economy is? I have a truck aha... as well how is it off road?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 жыл бұрын

Fuel economy is pretty decent, it will be better than a truck for sure. Whether front or all wheel drive, you should average in the mid 20's for MPG. If you are looking for more, the Hybrid will average in the low 30's. As for off road, I haven't taken a RAV4 on anything worse than a snowy country road (which it handled fine). This is definitely no truck, no serious off roading capabilities.

is it smart to trade in my 16 4runner limited to 18 rav platinum? looking to save money on gas as well as the maintenance in the future. tnx

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 жыл бұрын

Much of that depends on what you are looking for in a vehicle. The RAV4 will definitely save you on fuel, and oil changes will be a few dollars less. Things like tires, brakes and filters will roughly the same cost as the 4Runner. Being Toyota products, either one will last an extremely long time without any major headaches provided you keep up with the factory maintenance schedule. If you do things such as towing, or off roading the RAV4 will have a more difficult time as it wasn't designed for that like the 4Runner was. I'd say go check a RAV4 out, see what your 4Runner is worth, and go from there!
