2021 Toyota RAV4 Limited

The RAV4 is Toyota's compact SUV, offered in both conventional and hybrid forms, with the rugged Adventure and TRD Off Road trims adding trail-ready capability. It goes up against the Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Mazda CX-5, standing out with its available hybrid powertrain and off-road-focused variants. The RAV4 handles with a composed, car-like feel, and the hybrid's instant torque makes it feel eager around town; the ride is firm but well controlled. Inside, the cabin is practical and roomy, with a straightforward layout and plenty of cargo space for a family's gear. Toyota Safety Sense is standard, bringing pre-collision warning, lane departure alert, and adaptive cruise control to every trim. The Limited is the luxury-focused RAV4, with leather seating, a power liftgate, and a larger touchscreen; if you want off-road hardware, the Adventure or TRD Off Road is the better pick. Under the hood is a 2.5L I4 making 203 horsepower, paired with a eight-speed automatic and front-wheel drive; it's smooth and efficient, earning 30 mpg combined. The Limited can be optioned with a panoramic moonroof and a 360-degree camera, which are unavailable on the LE and XLE.
