RAV4 Proves to be More Than Just a Family SUV

Think the Toyota RAV4 is just a quaint, compact SUV, perfect for families on the go? Think again! Recently, well-known speed demon Ryan Millen took his RAV4 SE to the Oregon Trail Rally in Portland, OR and won. Thanks to the scrappy vehicle Millen and his team were able to fight tooth and nail over the three-day rally to come out on top. “The big open class boys were pulling out boulders,” remembered Millen.  “There was no way to dodge them all.  We bent a wheel, but overall in those rough terrain sections, the RAV was great.  It has so much wheel travel; we don’t have to slow down as much as some of the other cars.” On day one, Millen and felt things out, keeping a slow and steady pace to get a feel for the vehicle and the terrain. There was a bit of trouble when a shock failed on day two, but crew chief, Brian Hoeppner, didn’t allow that to hinder them too long. In the end, the RAV4 left the leader in the dust by a mere 10 seconds taking home the win. Now, the team is preparing for the Olympus rally on May, 14 which is the next stop on the Rally America series. "RAV4 SE Wins Oregon Trail Rally | Toyota." RAV4 SE Wins Oregon Trail Rally | Toyota.

The 2019 RAV4 At DELLA Toyota Has Room For You And Your Cargo!

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is all new and perhaps the best-looking RAV4 ever. The RAV4 is new inside, outside and even the platform it is based upon is new. That is why the 2019 RAV4 has a longer wheel base than last year and is a bit wider too. This translates into more room inside for driver, passengers and all the stuff they want to bring along and makes it even more fun to drive. The new look of the 2019 RAV4 has a more aggressive Tacoma-like resemblance. You could say that the 2019 Toyota RAV4 has a little more SUV in its compact crossover shape this year. Especially, with the available Adventure trim level. Due to the platform change, the 2019 RAV4 has more ground clearance too and will also have an off-road traction control system. This opens a whole new world of possibilities for Toyota's top-seller. Last year, more than 400,000 RAV4s were sold in America. If that sounds like a lot, you're right, it is! What that means for you is that Toyota can afford to put more differentiation between trim levels and give each buyer even more choices. That will translate to even more sales of this popular crowd pleaser. more The outgoing 2.5-iiter inline-four engine has been replaced with Toyota’s all-new Dynamic Force 2.5-liter I-4 with direct and port injection and VVT-iE. The six-speed automatic is out and is replaced with an eight-speed. These changes are possible because the RAV4 is no longer on a small car platform but rather the same platform as the Camry and 2019 Avalon. Your phone will love the wireless charging on a rubberized mat near the driver's USB port. It is one of five USB outlets, including two for rear passengers. The front passenger also has a shelf with good grip to hold their phone. But wait, there's more. A 7.0-inch infotainment screen is standard with Entune 3.0; upgraded systems have an 8.0-inch screen, satellite radio, and navigation. The RAV4 joins the new Avalon and Corolla Hatchback in offering Apple CarPlay. For 2019 the RAV4 also has Alexa connectivity and Wi-Fi, an evolution of the system introduced on the Camry. There are 11 speakers with the JBL sound system. There is a lot more we could say about some of the great safety features on the new RAV4 but maybe we should save that until you get a chance to stop by our showroom at DELLA Toyota in Plattsburgh. We will be glad to share all the details we have. Give us a call or visit our website 24/7 at DELLAToyota.com.
