The 2011 Toyota RAV4 crossover SUV is available with a fuel-efficient 2.5 liter, four-cylinder engine that racks up a healthy 22 city/28 highway MPG and a slightly less gas stingy V-6 that still logs in an impressive 27 highway MPG. The highest fuel efficiency ratings are on the two-wheel drive versions but the four-wheel drive models only drop a single MPG on both the four-cylinder and the V6. Not bad for a vehicle that will seat 5 comfortably or even 7 with the optional 3rd row seating. The 2011 RAV4 is expected to have the following specs:
The two engine choices available include a 2.5-liter V4 that generates 179 horsepower or a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 269 horsepower. All RAV4s buyers can choose between either a front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The smaller engine has a four-speed automatic standard, while the larger engine has a five-speed automatic as standard and that is available on the smaller engine as an option. 22 miles per gallon city and 28 on the highway. Zero to sixty timing of 7.2 seconds for the larger engine.
* Car Safety Features: The RAV4 comes standard with stability and traction control, front seat side airbags, antilock disc brakes, full-length side curtain airbags and active head restraints on the front seats. The RAV4 wasn’t quite able to achieve perfect scoring in government crash tests for 2010. Every category except the frontal passenger rating got five out of five stars, but that one received only four out of five. Due to these results, pupils of an educational facility may be able to qualify for cheap student car insurance.
* Warranty: Toyota’s warranty is for 3-years/36,000 miles.
The IntelliChoice 5-Year Cost of Ownership for the Toyota RAV4 is, not surprisingly, “Excellent” across all of the models.
