The RAV4 brand name has become completely synonymous with the compact crossover SUV market ever since the very first iteration was introduced to the market back in the mid-1990s, but Japanese automaker Toyota is choosing not to rest on its laurels, introducing the latest and greatest version of this venerable vehicle.
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is equipped with a host of upgrades, including heightened engine power, reduced fuel consumption and a robustly redesigned structure that makes it more capable than ever when it comes to navigating treacherous and tricky off-road terrain. The vehicle's increased robustness is also attributable to a new platform that includes a higher ground clearance than its predecessors.
With its combination of fuel savings and a ruggedized platform, the 2019 Toyota RAV4 is setting out to prove that the relatively small size of compact crossover SUVs doesn't mean they can't take the rigors of the road.
