2010 Toyota Rav4
Introduction
Rav4. It's proof of the value of versatility. There are lots of ways to describe all the features offered on Rav4. Whether it's our Base, Sport or Limited model, you'll find Rav4's got what you want, priced right. Rav4 can be equipped to seat up to seven one minute and haul bulky yard sale finds the next. It offers you the choice of fuel-efficient 4-cylinder or V6 engines, and 2WD or 4WD. Its safety features reassure you, yet it offers agility you'd hardly expect from an SUV. Toyota kick-started today's wildly popular small crossover segment 14 years ago with its RAV4, which introduced the novel idea of a car-based SUV. That original diminutive RAV4 has changed a lot since its introduction, though. Today's RAV4 offers a commodious interior with room for up to seven people, luxury features like leather upholstery and a navigation system, and an available V6 engine that cranks out more than twice the horsepower of the original RAV4's engine, yet gets similar fuel economy. While it has many competitors, the 2010 Toyota RAV4 should be among those on your must-drive list. After a more powerful four-cylinder engine was introduced last year along with some minor styling changes, the RAV4 heads into 2010 virtually unaltered. That's certainly OK, because it remains a veritable Swiss army knife of user-friendly transportation. The controls are simple and well-placed. The engines are powerful and economical. Storage spaces are abundant, and with all the rear seats folded, it can swallow more cargo than official midsize models like the Ford Edge. Passenger space is also excellent, with an optional third-row seat capable of accommodating a pair of kids. Competition in the compact/midsize crossover category is tougher than ever, but the RAV4 remains one of the most appealing entries. The 2010 Toyota Rav4.

Body Styles, Trim levels and options
  |  |
The 2010 Toyota RAV4 is a midsize crossover SUV. There are three trim levels available: base, Sport and Limited. Each one is available with front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of either a four-cylinder or V6 engine.
Rav4 Base/Sport
There is nothing basic about the Rav4's Base model. Just look at what's standard: 16-inch steel wheels, a limited-slip differential (front-drive models), Air conditioning, full power accessories, keyless entry, Optitron Gauges**, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, cruise control and a 6-speaker audio system with an auxiliary audio jack for your MP3 player. The base V6 4WD adds 17-inch alloy wheels, though they are optional on other base models. Rav4 Sport has all that and comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and color-keyed fender flares to give it a look and feel all its own. The Sport Appearance package available on all four-cylinder and V6 4WD Sport models includes a spare tire-less rear door, run-flat tires, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated sideview mirrors and chrome exterior details. And both models come standard with a 179-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with an EPA estimated 28 highway mpg rating.
**Optitron Guages - To help reduce eye fatigue, amber-illuminated tri-dial Optitron gauges are standard along with twin tripmeters, an outside temperature gauge and Direct Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
Rav4 Limited
If you like to have all the bells and whistles, you'll love the Rav4 Limited. Its leather-trimmed steering wheel integrates switches that let you control key features. Like what? Like an available 9-speaker JBL audio system that includes a 6-disc in-dash CD changer, an XM Satellite Radio integrated receiver MP3/WMA playback capability and hands free phone functionality via bluetooth wireless technology. Whistle away.
A: Available touch-screen DVD navigation system - Need help finding your way across town or across the country? The Rav4 Limited offers an available navigation system that maps out your route. For instance, just enter the name of a nearby restaurant, and, if listed in the database, the system will find it, and you're on your way. And XM NavTraffic uses real-time updates of traffic congestion to plan your route. After all, who wants to be stuck in a traffic jam?
B: Smart Key System - Rav4 Limited comes standard with a Smart Key system. Like saying, "open sesame," the way it works is magical. It senses your approach even if the key is in your pocket or purse. As soon as you touch the driver's door handle, it automatically unlocks. And when you climb into the drivers seat, Smart Key lets you start Rav4 via push button ignition.

Interior Design and Special Features
Rav4 gives you the flexibility to respond to the fundamental question all SUV owners ask themselves: What am I doing next? Running the whole team to the game? Going solo to the home center? Picking up friends at the airport? Packing up the camping gear for a weekend road trip? Whatever it is, Rav4 is ready. With a versatile seating area designed to let you seat up to seven when equipped with the available third-row seats. Or with a spacious cargo area that opens wide and folds flat for easy loading. The RAV4's interior boasts a clean design with large, simple controls and lots of storage space. The cabin isn't as filled with plastic as previous-generation RAV4 cabins were. The rear seats recline and can slide fore and aft to optimize passenger space or cargo capacity. Normal seating capacity is five, while the optional third-row seat bumps it to seven. To configure the RAV4 for cargo, all you need to do is flip a lever. There is no need to remove headrests or fold up seat cushions to get a flat load floor that can hold a maximum of 73 cubic feet of cargo. This is bigger than several other midsize SUVs. The load floor is also quite low for this class, which minimizes the strain of loading a week's worth of groceries.
One-Touch Fold-Flat second-row seats - RAV4's second-row seats split-fold 60/40 to create several ways for you to conveniently carry both passengers and cargo. Or with a pull of the one-touch levers in the cargo area, RAV4's second-row folds flat.
Seat five, Leave room for luggage - Keep the second row upright and RAV4 seats five yet still has lots
of room in the rear cargo area for gear and groceries.
Split-Second Response - RAV4's second row is remarkably versatile. It split-folds 60/40, for a variety of cargo- and passenger-carrying configurations. Or the entire row folds flat.
Backup Camera - RAV4's available backup camera is a smart solution that helps ease the task of backing out of driveways or into parallel parking spaces.
MP3/WMA - Compatible and XM Satellite Radio - No Matter where you take your RAV4, your tunes can always travel with you. An auxiliary audio jack for MP3/WMA devices is located on the front of the center console. And the available
integrated XM Satellite radio receiver comes with a 90-day trial subscription, so you can enjoy 170 channels of crystal-clear digital channels right away.

Safety
The advanced technologies available on RAV4 are designed to help give drivers a sophisticated set of tools to help take on whatever comes in their way. Steep hills. Slippery slopes. Snow-covered streets. Rain-soaked roads. Yet as these technologies work their quiet magic, the complexities of how they do what they do are largely hidden from the driver. From the driver's perspective, using these tools is simple. Little more than a push of a button - if that - is required of the driver. And that's the beauty of Toyota engineering.
Don't let its size fool you - RAV4 is big on safety. Every 2010 RAV4 comes with standard with the Star Safety System, a set of technologies that include Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with Traction Control (TRAC) Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. RAV4's Advanced Airbag System includes both driver and front passenger airbags and is complemented by front seat-mounted side airbags as well as first- and second-row roll-sensing side curtain airbags.

Vehicle
Stability Control - Enhanced VSC helps prevent the vehicle from
slipping sideways while cornering. To help improve control in these
situations, enhanced VSC automatically regulates engine output and
brake-force distribution to the wheels. In addition, the system
simultaneously provides the Electric Power Steering (EPS) assist torque
to help the driver steer in the direction that provides greatest
control. An off switch, designed to eliminate VSC, is useful in
certain critical conditions.
Active Front Headrests - Corolla Comes Standard with active front headrests in the front seats that help keep the occupants' heads ideally positioned in the event of certain rear-end collisions.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) - ABS pulses brakes rapidly during hard braking to help keep the wheels from locking up, and thus helps preserve steering control.
