Platinum: The Smart Key System on all doors lets you unlock the vehicle while keeping the keys in your pocket. You'll see all around the vehicle with the virtual top-down perspective of the Bird's Eye View Camera, which combines views from multiple cameras.

Great Performance On or Off-Road

All trims can use one of the following two engine types for the 2018 Toyota RAV4 except for the Adventure and Platinum trims, which only rely on gasoline power plants. With the gas model, expect up to 176 horsepower and 172 lb.-ft. of torque from the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that comes with Dual Overhead Cams as well as Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence. Towing capacity reaches 1,500 lbs. with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG on the highway and 23 MPG in the city, thanks to the 6-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission. The hybrid combines the advantages of a gasoline engine, a battery, and electric motor, the hybrid models give you up to 34 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway with an assist from Continuously Variable Transmission. The energy monitor and a distinctive gauge cluster help you track how the system is working so you can gain up to 194 net horsepower.
