T
he 2015 Toyota RAV4 has a four-cylinder engine that reviewers say provides enough power for typical driving conditions. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard, and
while automotive journalists say it generally produces smooth
shifts, others say that it can hesitate to shift in some situations.
It’s steering is sharp and it remains composed through turns,
they add. Reviewers are pleased with the RAV4’s ride, which they
say is smooth and comfortable for long highway commutes.
Most reviewers agree that it has pleasant cabin styling and is
well-built. According to auto journalists, the RAV4 has ample
room for adults in the front and rear seats. Standard equipment
in it includes a 6.1-inch touch-screen Entune audio system, a rearview camera, Bluetooth and a USB port. Dual-zone automatic
climate control, push-button start, lane departure warning and
blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert are available.
With 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space, the RAV4 has one of the
largest cargo holds in the class. Reviewers find its flat load floor
and available height-adjustable power lift-gate make it easy to
load cargo.
