What's New For the 2020 RAV4

The RAV4 has always been one of the more festive family SUVs, seating 5 passengers in a tech-savvy, upbeat interior with fun color options and a lot of sizzle. Two-toned exterior colors bring the muscular refinement of the RAV4 to life in ways never before seen. Choose from Lunar Rock/Ice Edge Roof or Blue Flame/Ice Edge Roof if you're feeling particularly adventurous in 2020.

Interior color options remain as vibrant as ever, with mocha, black, and light gray options. An 8-speed automatic transmission makes for one of the smoothest driving experiences of the RAV4's life, and with a brand new TRD off-road trim, there's even the promise of tackling the roads you don't find on maps. It's a brand new day for the RAV4. Join us as we look at standout features.

The 2020 RAV4 Has Many Features Across Its Trims

Toyota knows that the RAV4 is an important vehicle. It takes great care in how it unveils the RAV4 every year, and that's why we mostly only know the names of the trims: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Limited, and TRD off-road. 4X4 options are abundant. The athleticism of all of the trims is evident in their exterior features, featuring bigger, bold tire options. The blacked-out 18" alloy tires are something to really sink your teeth into on the Adventure.

Most off-roaders are super excited about the possibility of getting their hands on a TRD off-road model with larger tires and more sophisticated suspension systems, but you can still go for the same hometown style and coziness of the lower models. 8-way driver seat adjustment and leatherette upholstery is a fashionable look for the new colors you can pick for your interior on the XLE Premium.

Bucket front seats are available for the TRD Off-road, the most talked-about trim of the year, next to the Adventure. Maybe everyone is excited to see a 5-person family SUV turn into an off-road wizard thanks to new innovations on the part of Toyota's design team. It's a full lineup of features to make you crave a RAV4 in 2020.

A Perfect Blend of Power and Fuel Efficiency

A 203 horsepower 2.5L engine forms your powertrain, paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth transitions and supreme handling experience, especially on Adventure and TRD off-road trims. It's a more confident feel than ever before for this old, faithful, SUV that's looking brand new in 2020.

Safety for All Adventurous Trips

The RAV4 is a long-time safety forerunner. Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is very likely to make an appearance on the RAV4, but it hasn't been officially announced yet. What we do know is that the 2019 RAV4 won the world's highest safety honor, and it's highly unlikely that the 2020 RAV4 wouldn't improve upon the formula with a stronger build, better airbag systems, and a number of additional safety features not offered standard before.

You can expect advanced airbags, seat belt pretensioners, electronic stability control, traction control, and lane keep assist, among many others in 2020.
