A fuel-efficient SUV is a great vehicle for all your off-road adventures and your longest road trips. With fewer stops at the pump, you can get to your destination faster. To help drivers near Harvey, New Orleans, and Metairie, LA, find the right SUV for you, Group 1 Toyota West Bank put together this Toyota RAV4 miles per gallon review.
The Toyota RAV4 is an efficient and durable midsize SUV. With its all-wheel drive (AWD) capability and great fuel economy, you can hit the trails for some off-roading or move lots of cargo around town before it needs to stop and fill up.
The RAV4 can generate an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway/30 combined MPG*, making it an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV). With this level of fuel economy, it’s a great option for long road trips.
Under the hood, it’s powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that’s capable of producing up to 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. You’ll also get an efficient performance out of the engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), giving it smarter and cleaner production.
On top of the efficient valve train and its smart VVT-i design, the Toyota RAV4 has lots of fuel-saving features to help you get the most out of that fuel economy.
An 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) works with the engine. It uses technology to get precise timing for gear shifts and aid both the engine and transmission to get better efficiency.
There are also features at your fingertips to give you more control over the drive when you’re behind the wheel. Standard driver select modes allow you to manually adjust the drivetrain between modes: ECO, SPORT, and NORMAL. Additionally, the RAV4 offers standard Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) on AWD gas models. This feature lets you choose between four unique drive modes: NORMAL, MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, and SNOW.
The Toyota RAV4 is also available as a hybrid for even greater fuel economy. It runs on a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid engine with VVT-i that gets 219 combined net system horsepower. With an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT), it’s able to get up to an EPA-estimated 41 city/38 highway/40 combined MPG, making it a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).*
For added control over your drive, it adds EV mode and TRAIL mode to your driver selectable modes. It’s also just as capable of getting you through storms or tough terrain with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. The electric motor detects when you need more traction and sends extra torque to the rear wheels.
Throughout your drive, you can monitor your performance by referring to the hybrid energy monitor on your dashboard and the hybrid power meter in front of your steering wheel. Both give you real-time information on your miles per gallon and hybrid battery.
