After a few years of getting overshadowed by new, more modern competitors, the RAV4 is looking to get back in the game with a modest though precise redesign, one that specifically targets all the little things that small SUV buyers want
Base RAV4s start at $24,145, including destination fees. Our fully optioned Limited All-Wheel-Drive model with Navigation came in at $31,415. In other words, that’s the spread you’re looking at when it comes to the 2013 Toyota RAV4.
In testing, the 2013 Toyota RAV4 needed 9.1 seconds to hit 60 mph (8.8 seconds with 1 foot of rollout as on a drag strip). This is quicker than the CR-V (9.4 seconds), but considerably behind the Ford Escape 2.0 (7.4 seconds). The story was similar in the quarter-mile, where the RAV used 16.8 seconds and crossed the line at 81.6 mph: a dead heat with the CR-V, but a whopping 1.3 seconds behind the hot-rod Escape.
The 2013 Toyota RAV4 is among the best in almost every other category. It’s comfortable with a full load of passengers, has plenty of cargo space when there are no passengers and delivers predictable, if tepid, performance no matter what’s onboard. And even though it won’t change the world, it delivers all the things an SUV of its type should to those with more reasonable expectations.
