Toyota RAV4
The RAV4 has bulked up since its last update in 2006. Two-wheel drive is available (four cylinders), but most buyers opt for four-wheel drive. The engine possibilities include a 179-hp 2.5-litre four-cylinder or a 269-hp 3.5-litre V6. These are coupled with either a four-speed or five-speed automatic transmission, depending on which configuration you choose. Its generous base equipment, ruggedness and roomy interior plus Toyota’s reputation for reliability greatly influence potential buyers.
