2022 Toyota RAV4 Horsepower

The 2022 RAV4 rips into just above 200 total horsepower from a 2.5-liter engine block. Built on the patented Dynamic Force platform, this inline-four powertrain unleashes 184 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission with Dynamic-Shift technology is paired with the I-4 engine. This conventional gearbox sends power to the Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system. Boosted by dual electric motors and a high-capacity battery, the hybrid powerplant has a combined output of 219 hp. An electronically controlled continuously variable transmission system processes the output from the hybrid powerhouse. This efficient CVT system works in sync with the Electronic On-Demand AWD. Whether you choose a naturally aspirated engine or the hybrid system, you'll still get the mechanical benefits from the Active Cornering Assist.

Toyota RAV4 Safety

The 2022 RAV4 adopts the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 technology during the assembly process. This five-seat crossover SUV also enters the market with the standard Safety Connect services and Star Safety System. Featuring eight airbags, this two-row model mitigates severe injuries from crashes. All trims come with a backup camera that has projected guidelines.
