2019 Toyota Rav4 Engine
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 engine is not only powerful for a small crossover, but it’s also very efficient. Under the hood is a 2.5-litre engine that produces 203 horsepower, which is 27 hp more than the 2018 model connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
2019 Toyota Rav4 Fuel Economy
Owning a RAV4 will be investing in spending much less on fuel down the line. It is one of the most efficient fuel-economy crossover SUVs. With a lower curb weight compared to the previous model, the 2019 RAV4 gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined (26 city/35 highway).
2019 Toyota Rav4 Interior
Open the driver’s door, and you are greeted into a spacious, quiet, and comfortable inner space. The perfectly designed dashboard houses the infotainment system, 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay (no Android Auto as of yet) and Amazon Alexa is standard with easy-to-use icons. On every RAV4, Apple Play comes standard as does Toyota’s Safety Sense Suite 2.0, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and forward collision mitigation with automatic braking. However, Android Auto isn’t available on the 2014 RAV4.
The seats come with a perfect finish with leather upholstery. The passenger seats and cargo space are spacious. Getting in and out of the RAV4 is fairly easy and there is enough headroom especially in the passenger seat to suit tall people. However, the passenger’s seat lacks seat height adjustment and a coarse-adjusting manual backrest, which can make it hard to find a comfortable position, especially on long journeys.
The driver’s seat is rather high and depending on your height, the touchscreen might be a little too far away from reach. However, the RAV4 has excellent handling and solid braking features that make the ride impressive.
2019 Toyota Rav4 Models
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 comes in five trims, each trim category with better-advanced features. The trim levels available are LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, and Limited.

2019 Toyota Rav4 Xle Premium
the XLE Premium adds 19-inch wheels, a slightly raised suspension (8.6 inches of ground clearance versus 8.4 inches), a power liftgate, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, simulated leather upholstery (SofTex), soft-touch dashboard materials.
2019 Toyota Rav4 Adventure
‘Adventure’ like the name sounds gives you an exciting adventure experience when you ride in it.

2019 Toyota Rav4 Limited
The Limited builds on the XLE Premium’s equipment with chrome exterior trim, driver-seat memory functions, an auto-dimming mirror, an 8-inch touchscreen and a Toyota navigation system.
2019 Toyota Rav4 Exterior
Redesigned 2019 RAV4 comes with a stylish and unique exterior which makes it more compact and box-like. The distance between the chassis of the vehicle and the road has been increased for a better off-road experience.
Adding to the bold and prolific look of the RAV4 is the longer wheelbase which contributes to the ease of getting in and out of the car. The lightening of the car which is built with LED technology delivers a unique and appealing glow of the front and rear lights.
2019 Toyota Rav4 Safety Features
Standard safety features on all RAV4 trims include Adaptive cruise control that works down to 0 mph, automatic emergency braking, drowsy driver detection, automatic high beams, lane-keeping assist, and something called Line Tracing Assist.
Toyota’s voice control system is also a good addition to prevent car theft and ensure smooth navigation.
