2010 Toyota Rav4
Among the very best of the compact SUVs, the RAV4 stands out at convenience and simplicity of use. Entering as well as from the driver's seat is simple. It could move lots of individuals or lots of equipment on a minute's notice. And it comes typical with a long list of safety and security devices. We favor the five-passenger arrangement.
We discovered the RAV4 smooth as well as stable underway. The Sporting activity version has a more difficult ride due to its suspension adjusting. RAV4's available four-wheel-drive system functions effectively in icy conditions as well as on rain-soaked roadways.
The four-cylinder is responsive and also gets an EPA-estimated 21/27 mpg when furnished with four-wheel drive, slightly better with two-wheel drive. Purchased with the optional V6, the RAV4 actually runs, flaunting 269 horsepower.

Active headrests on the driver as well as front traveler seats move up and also onward in specific rear-end collisions in order to help lower the range in between the owner's head and also the headrest. Front seat belts incorporate pre-tensioners and also force limiters. Additionally basic are LATCH youngster safety seat anchors, antilock brakes (ABS) with brake aid and also electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), digital security control (VSC), grip control (TRAC), and also a tire-pressure monitor.
Walkaround
The RAV4 looks like various other modern Toyotas, showcasing an aerodynamically reliable ovoid account purposefully eliminated by sharp character lines. A coefficient of drag of 0.33 is among the best in its segment as well as a major consider reducing wind noise and also taking full advantage of gas economic situation.
The RAV4's truck-like front end is tautly made up. Visually, the fenders are separate components from the engine bay, a circumstance highlighted by a tight rectangular grille that seems to rest conveniently atop the bigger bumper slits listed below. Fronts lights are portable and also concentrated. Vertical brake scoops, lined with black ribs, bite right into the bumper beneath the fronts lights-- fog lights nestle right into these scoops on Sporting activity versions.
Limiteds have a look all their own, with a solitary, deep, trapezoidal grille opening bolding bisected by a body-color horizontal bar with a big, chrome Toyota World-T badge at its center. A pseudo-skid plate completes from all-time low, leaving no space for added reduced air consumptions. Tubular nacelles sustaining the haze lights change the brake scoops of base and also Sporting activity designs.
Alloy wheels have five spokes on Sporting activity, six on Limited. A broad track offers the RAV4 a strong position aesthetically, while resisting rollovers in emergency situation maneuvers.
The profile is oblong, a mix of boxy and oblong, the much better to fit that third-row seat. An underrated indent leave all-time low of the RAV4's doors, softening the visual perception of mass. Wheel arches mix smoothly into the fenders.
In back, a single-piece rear bumper nestles the swing-open tailgate, which, sadly, still opens up from the left side, so you need to walk it when discharging curbside here in The U.S.A.. Taillights are positioned high on the back fenders. The spare tire bolts into a recess balanced out to the right in the swing-gate, and also does not dip listed below the bumper line. The rear license plate, penetrated the lower left side of the swing-gate listed below the handle, aesthetically stabilizes the spare. The Sporting activity version's spoiler hangs conspicuously off the leading edge of the roofing system.
The Sport Appearance Package gets rid of the spare completely, as well as centers the license plate up high. A bulge reduced down on the tailgate fills out the step in the conventional bumper when the tailgate is closed. A manage on the left side still betrays the gate's swing-open design, but even with this the total appearance with the Sporting activity Appearance Package is remarkably a lot more car-like, more station wagon than SUV.
Inside Qualities
Inside, the RAV4 is useful, if a little bit eccentric in vogue. Placement of the determines will know to anyone that has had a previous RAV4. The placement and feature of the controls inhabiting the center pile is great; that also puts on the setup of the hand brake as well as the change lever. The dash is sharply split by a straight imprint running the width of the vehicle. Regarding the only plus we found in this garish attribute is a bi-level glove box, with a top container covered by a pulling back lid and a lower container fitted with a conventional, bottom-hinged cover.
Products are top quality. Fit and coating is Toyota grade, which indicates excellent. All 3 trim degrees share the very same theme, with contrasting but complementary shades and also combed metal trim components around the stereo as well as environment controls, surrounding the change entrance and stroking around the door manages. The standard side-curtain air bags enable a traveler assist grasp, which folds down from the headliner over each door.
The front seats are supportive but not extremely strong, with small bolsters and suitable thigh support. The tilt-and-telescope steering wheel as well as height-adjustable driver's seat make it possible for practically any kind of dimension driver to locate a comfortable fit, and without the included intricacy (and also price) of flexible pedals. The fairly high seating placement, low cowl as well as sloping hood make for good visibility to the front. The lengthy side windows relieve lane checking. Completely retracting head restraints in the second row and optional third row seats improve the viewing array through the within mirror.
The second-row seats are less cushioned compared to the pole positions, without strengthens. It's no surprise, really, viewing as exactly how that seat needs to fit three individuals in a pinch.
The optional 3rd row seats hardly certify because of this, with level bottoms and just as featureless backs as well as head restrictions. Access to that back row, by folding and also tilting the outboard second-row seats, is not especially easy, yet it isn't as much of a strain or as awkward as in some larger, full-sized sporting activity energies.
Storage areas are plentiful. Past the glove box, the doors have taken care of plastic map pockets, the backs of the front seatbacks use web bags, as well as an overall of 10 mug owners are situated about the cabin. When the third-row seats typically aren't purchased, a deep freight area waits for underneath a water-repellant, collapsible deck board.
