Research 2020 Toyota RAV4 near Colorado Springs

Vehicle Overview

Partially credited with kicking off America’s love affair with the compact crossover soon after it debuted in the 1995 model year, the Toyota RAV4 has since flourished as one of the best choices in the segment it helped pioneer. It is often praised for its great gas mileage, comfortable ride, and high level of projected reliability, and the 2020 model year—which arrives during the model’s fifth production cycle—is no exception. The 2020 Toyota RAV4 is split into LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road, and Limited trims. Apart from the TRD Off-Road being a brand-new trim and functioning as the most off-road-ready choice (thus the name), there are no significant changes for the 2020 model year.

The 2020 Toyota RAV4 provides two rows of fabric-trimmed seats to accommodate up to five people. Front seating consists of a 6-way manually adjustable driver’s seat and a 4-way manually adjustable passenger seat, and the row behind it is a bench-style seat with a 60/40 split-folding design to expand cargo space into the cabin when necessary. Eight-way power with lumbar support on the driver’s seat appears at the XLE trim level, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and vinyl seat trim debut at the XLE Premium level. The Adventure and TRD Off-Road stand out with contrast stitching (orange on the former; red on the latter) and embossed seat inserts; the TRD Off-Road trim has additional “TRD” stitching in the headrests. Front-seat heating and a two-position memory function for the driver’s seat are reserved for the top-level Limited model.

Powering the 2020 RAV4 is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, as well as a stop/start system to cut out engine idling. The engine is paired with an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission. Although front-wheel drive is standard—at least on the LE, XLE, XLE Premium, and Limited—you can switch to the all-wheel-drive (AWD) system for better all-weather or rough-terrain driving performance. Notably, AWD is standard on the Adventure and TRD Off-Road, and this drivetrain is accompanied by a multi-terrain select mode system (i.e., MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW, and NORMAL). Each model uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension with electric power steering; the suspension the TRD Off-Road is tuned to better absorb the punishment of less-than-smooth terrain.
