The standard engine in the 2021 RAV4 is a 2.5L four-cylinder design generating 203 horsepower and 184lb-ft of torque, passed to a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. For such a small car, the powertrain provides plenty of zip for daily driving.
Those looking for a little extra might consider the new RAV4 hybrid options, with a standard configuration producing a combined output of 219 horsepower, rising to a mighty 302 horsepower in the Prime trim.
Fuel Economy
