The 2011 Toyota RAV4 is the same as the 2011 model. The only difference is that it now has more options even for the base model. It is a compact SUV with car-like unibody construction, a higher ride height with all-wheel drive or AWD making it a crossover. It is also considered one of the fastest crossovers with its V6 engine available on some models. It has a third row of seats that allows it to accommodate a total of 7 passengers. The 2011 RAV4 will have an electronic brake override system that was first introduced on the 2010 model.
The 2011 Toyota RAV4 now has an upgraded grille, taillights, and alloy wheels. It is still available in three models: the base model, the sports model and the limited edition model. The base model has steel wheels and black door handles. Top models have alloy wheels and door handles in the same color as the car’s body. The limited edition model has a grill insert that is made of chrome. The Sport model has optional run-flat tires, so there’s no longer a need to fit a spare tire to the RAV4’s tailgate. The RAV4’s tailgate opens like a car door instead of swinging open like most cars of its type.
The 2011 RAV4 is equipped with a modern technology called brake override system in which engine power is automatically reduced when the driver depresses the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. The upcoming RAV4 model is available with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 19 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. This type of engine is only available in the four-speed automatic transmission. The other type of engine available for the RAV4 is a V6 that is capable of producing 268 horsepower and 246 pound-feet of torque.
It comes in a five-speed automatic transmission. The base model of the new RAV4 has a new set of optional features called the Base Plus Extra Value Package. These options include optional installation of a sliding sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, body-color door handles, daytime running lights, tinted rear privacy window, and roof rails. On the exterior of the new RAV4, optional features include the addition of audio steering wheel control, an upgraded interior fabric and a cargo tonneau cover. Another optional feature is a 6-CD player with satellite radio plus a JBL audio system with built-in Bluetooth connectivity.
The basic features of the 2011 RAV4 are anti-lock brakes, traction control system and anti-skid stability control. Safety features include side curtain airbags that protect the head in the event of a side collision. Other standard features include air conditioning, remote keyless entry, power mirrors, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and height-adjustable driver’s seat. The price range for the 2011 Toyota RAV4 is between $22,800 and $29,100. There is a slight one percent increase in the selling price of the 2010 RAV4 model.
