A Look at the RAV4’s Mechanics

With choices like the LE, XLE, XLE Premium, and Limited, this year’s RAV4 lineup offers a variety of powerful options. All four trims are equipped with a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force DOHC four-cylinder engine with intelligent dual variable valve timing, delivering 203 horsepower at 6,600 RPM and 184 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 RPM. The robust RAV4 is praised for its all-terrain performance, made possible by its selectable Eco, Sport, and Normal driving modes.

Trims like the XLE and Limited feature an advanced Multi-Terrain Select system, with the XLE offering Mud & Sand, Snow, and Rock & Dirt modes, and the Limited adding Downhill Assist Control to the list. Each of the four gas trims in this year’s lineup comes equipped with a multi-link rear suspension and an independent MacPherson strut front suspension, both with stabilizer bars.

Drivetrains

The base-trim RAV4 LE comes with front-wheel drive, while higher trims offer all-wheel drive or Dynamic Torque Vectoring all-wheel drive with rear driveline disconnect. Trims equipped with this advanced all-wheel drivetrain, like the top-tier Limited, are ideal for drivers who want performance-focused specs, precise power distribution, effortless all-terrain handling, and above-average fuel economy.

The RAV4’s Hybrid Options

Each RAV4 hybrid trim houses a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder hybrid engine and includes EV and Trail driving modes in addition to Normal, Eco, and Sport. Each hybrid’s electric motors generate 118 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque at the front and 54 horsepower and 89 lb-ft at the rear, while the internal combustion engine produces 176 horsepower at 5,300 RPM. Combined, the electric motors and gas engine deliver a total output of 219 horsepower.

All hybrids come with electronic on-demand all-wheel drive and All-Wheel Drive Integrated Management, which is displayed on the multi-information screen. This advanced drivetrain technology seamlessly manages components like steering, brakes, and transmission, providing real-time updates on how the SUV adapts to challenging road conditions and displaying the data on the onboard driver-information screen. Every 2025 RAV4 hybrid also features an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with sequential shifting.

With generous cargo space, standard Toyota Safety Sense, and customizable trim options, the 2025 RAV4 is engineered to provide drivers with ultimate confidence both on and off the road. See the RAV4 up close and take it for a test drive today with us here at Coughlin Toyota in Heath, OH.
