2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid review

1. Plenty of options

The 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is available in four different trim levels, giving you flexibility in finding the RAV4 Hybrid best suited to fit your needs. The base LE includes popular technology features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as an integrated rearview backup camera. Higher-trim models add more features that increase the versatility of the RAV4 Hybrid, such as the hands-free power liftgate that is found on the Limited trim. Toyota's suite of driver-assist features is also standard on the RAV4 and includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control.

2. Cargo capacity

With its 60/40-split-folding rear seat, the 2020 Toyota RAV4 can hold your groceries, larger items from the home improvement store, or all your camping gear. With the rear seats up, there is seating for up to five passengers which is plenty of room for you and your friends or family. If maximum cargo space is what you're after, you can fold down the rear seats to provide a cavernous amount of room for whatever you need to haul.

3. All-Wheel drive

While all-wheel drive is an option on non-hybrid 2020 Toyota RAV4s, it comes standard on the hybrid models. The hybrid's electric motor provides power to the rear axle, giving you improved traction and a bit of extra confidence when you're behind the wheel. Additionally, that extra power from the electric motor makes getting up to highway speeds a bit easier as well.

4. Versatility

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is well equipped to handle your day-to-day life and weekend adventures. If you're looking for a rig that can carry your crew and their belongings, the Toyota RAV4, with its seating for five and generous cargo space behind the rear seat, is an ideal choice. The hybrid feature also makes the RAV4 Hybrid an excellent vehicle for your daily commute as well. The all-wheel drive will give you confidence and improved traction when driving in rain and over bumpy terrain.

5. Curb appeal

Redesigned in 2019, the current-generation Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is certainly a looker. This crossover SUV, with its car-based chassis, elevated ride height, and handsome styling has a rugged and capable look. The standard LED headlights and taillights add aggressiveness to its overall appearance while the integrated rear spoiler finishes things off with more sporty touches. Trim levels above the LE also come with various styles of attractive 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels.
