So, you’ve decided the car for you is a crossover SUV that you can trust to haul all your camping gear and groceries along with every member of your adventure crew. Buying the right type of car isn’t the only thing to keep in mind when you’re on your car buying search, though. The manufacturer and model can define the longevity and functionality of your new ride, too! That’s why would-be car buyers love Toyota’s souped-up, decked out 2018 RAV4. Toyota is known for building cars that last and the RAV4 is no exception. If that isn’t enough to inspire you to schedule your test drive right away, there are a myriad of other reasons to make the sleek and stylish 2018 RAV4 your next car.

Reasonable Price

One of the most important qualities of a potential new vehicle is its price tag. After all, if a car would destroy your budget, it’ll almost certainly be scrapped from your list of possible new rides, no matter how high-tech its features are. The ideal car should toe the line between affordability and convenient features. Luckily, the 2018 Toyota RAV4 does just that. With a shockingly low MSRP starting at $24,000, you don’t need to worry about blowing your whole budget. Ready to upgrade to the sportier Adventure AWD or Limited AWD trims? It’ll only run you around $29,000 and $33,000 respectively. The dealership isn’t the only place you’ll save, though – you’ll also save at the pump. The 2018 RAV4 boasts an impressive 23/30/26 miles per gallon in the city and on the highway and combined.

Superior Function

Whether you’re commuting to work or setting off on a road trip, you want your ride to be fun and reliable. With the 2018 RAV4, you can take advantage of its SUV function while enjoying the high-performance features that make your drive exciting. Although it’s classified as an SUV, the RAV4 comes in a petite package. It may not look large on the outside, but it boasts the roomy interior you’d expect of a much larger vehicle with poorer maneuverability. With spacious interior seating, you’ll have plenty of room for your friends, family or four-legged pals. The RAV4 offers enough seating for five, as well as 38 cubic feet of cargo space. Need room for more? The unique 60/40 split rear seats fold down and allow you to customize your cargo space to fit your needs. If you happen to have an armful of groceries, simply lift your foot beneath the rear bumper to activate the motion-sensing liftgate for even more convenience. Sure, it’s functional, but what about comfort? Fortunately, Toyota takes the comfort of their customers seriously. The 2018 RAV4 ensures you always have everything you need at your fingertips, no matter where you are. With heated front seats and a comfortable leather steering wheel with wheel controls, you can focus on the task at hand while switching to cruise control or changing the radio station. The center touchscreen console will amaze and impress all your passengers. You’ll never need to reach for your phone again. The RAV4’s sleek touchscreen features a comprehensive suite of apps that can help you find the quickest way to your destination or tune in to your favorite stations. If you’re an Apple consumer, you can even access all of Siri’s® functions without taking out your phone. Send texts, make phone calls or get directions while your eyes remain on the road.

Standard Safety Features

Safety is on everyone’s list of priorities when buying a new vehicle. Turns out, Toyota values the safety and security of their customers just as much as you do. The RAV4 comes equipped with state-of-the-art safety features that make driving stress-free. The Toyota Star Safety System™ outfits your RAV4 with eight advanced safety features, including Traction Control, Anti-lock Brakes and Electronic Brake-Force Distribution. The RAV4’s Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) systems keep an eye out for incoming vehicles or pedestrians and will alert you with a visual cue if something is detected. The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) feature keeps you in your lane and notifies with visual and audio cues if you begin to drift. With Brake Assist, your RAV4 will recognize if you are veering off the road or are on a collision course with another vehicle, and will apply the brakes automatically to reduce the risk and severity of harm.
