There’s no reason why drivers who spend most of their trips commuting to and from work can’t enjoy the offerings of a powerful off-road-ready SUV. In fact, everyone can benefit from what SUVs such as the 2021 Toyota RAV4 have to offer. Here are a few reasons you should choose the new RAV4 as your next commuter:
1. Confidence-Boosting Performance
The 2021 Toyota RAV4 is more than merely a crossover SUV. It’s designed with the wanderlust adventurer in mind, as well as those who simply want more confidence during their day-to-day commutes. Every new RAV4 is equipped with a powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine — even the hybrid models. The gasoline-exclusive RAV4 produces 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque for you to play with.
Each model gives you access to the available all-wheel-drive system that boosts your traction on slippery roads. This system also gives you the Multi-Terrain Select feature that allows you to prepare your RAV4 for the road conditions ahead.
2. Toyota Safety Sense 2.0
The busier the road is between your home and your destinations, the more you need an SUV that can keep you safer around other drivers. That’s why each 2021 RAV4 comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver-assist technologies. Using outboard sensors, features such as the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection and the full-speed dynamic radar cruise control make your SUV more ready to face the surprises and potential dangers the city roads have in store. Other safety technologies include the lane-tracing assist system, automatic high beams, parking assists, and the blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.
3. Connective Tech
Your busy life doesn’t stop when you enter your SUV, and thanks to the 2021 RAV4, it doesn’t have to. Each model is equipped with a phone-friendly touch screen that offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Use Bluetooth technology and these programs for hands-free access to many ride-enhancing apps and features. You can send text messages, search for directions, or play your favorite podcast without ever picking up your smartphone. The Amazon Alexa connectivity feature also performs thousands of functions, allowing you to stay on top of your day even when you’re on the go.
4. Flexible Space
To round out its home-away-from-home status, the new RAV4 also has a comfortable and flexible cabin that lets you tackle more trips. This is a two-row SUV that seats up to five passengers. Move up trim levels to get access to comfort-boosting features such as the ventilated and heated front seats and heated rear seats with SofTex-trimmed upholstery.
Though the rear cargo area offers plenty of space — 37.6 cubic feet of it — you can fold the 60/40-split rear row flat to create up to 69.8 cubic feet of space. Whatever your days call for, the RAV4’s dynamic interior gives you the cabin you need to take it on.
