Sometimes we find ourselves in a position that we want more than a car, but less of a large SUV and we need to strike a healthy balance. Our vehicles are an outward expression of who we are and a bit about our life.
For most, a vehicle needs to offer some type of hauling capacity (we are very mobile creatures) as well as the ability to adapt from daytime life to weekend adventures. Now try to go find a car that works like that, and you will be challenged. However, if you focus your attention on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 Crossover you might be surprised at how closely it can mirror your life and needs.
2017 Toyota RAV4
Exterior
The exterior is sleek, stylish and trendy. Boasting LED headlights, a sporty look, and daytime running lights, all adding to the stylish look of the vehicle. But just when you thought the RAV4 was about just looking good you learn that there is more.
SAFETY
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control automatically senses the appropriate ‘follow’ spacing between you and the car in front of you. This is like another set of eyes behind the wheel keeping you safe. Now, automatic high beams are another blessing because once you turn them on, they just switch between on and off on their own, allowing you to just focus on the road ahead.
Lane departure is a great feature on a car because, when you drive, you do tend to pay less attention to the road the longer you are on it. Yes, that is true, and the departure warning detects the visible painted lines and your car will alert you that you are departing your lane.
CARGO
It’s natural to haul, buy, shop, and move our life about and the cargo space in the RAV4 gets high marks for the spacious interior. The rear seats split with a 60/40 allowing you to configure the cargo as to as much or as little as you need. The ability to configure the needed amount of cargo space is priceless to active families that change up how many are traveling at any given time.
The cargo net hammock is pretty much the icing on the cake because what you put in, stays put, not all over the backspace.
TECHNOLOGY
Perhaps one of the best bird’s eye view of your surroundings in a car camera comes inside of this RAV4. You have eyes behind your head, to the side and everywhere else making it possible to really drive safely in parking lots and tight areas. The navigation system gets you where you need to go and the satellite radio lets you sing all the way there!
In the hope that you want more information on the RAV4 I suggest heading to your local Toyota dealer like we did to get some great insight and perspective on the vehicle.
