According to edmunds for the 2013 Toyota RAV 4.
The 2013 Toyota RAV4 is a five-passenger compact crossover offered in three main trim levels: LE, XLE and Limited. The LE comes standard with 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, power folding mirrors, rear privacy glass, full power accessories, air-conditioning, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a 60/40-split and reclining second-row seat, a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, and a six-speaker sound system with 6-inch touchscreen, a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod/USB audio interface.
The 2013 Toyota RAV4 is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 176 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic is standard, and the RAV4 is available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
Toyota says the front-drive RAV4 will accelerate from zero to 60 in 8.9 seconds. The front-drive RAV4 returns an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city/31 mpg highway/26 combined, about the same as the CR-V and Escape. The all-wheel-drive model, meanwhile, achieves 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined.
The new RAV4 features a striking new interior design that shares themes with the new Camry and Avalon models. Pronounced angles and lines form a more streamlined dash and center stack, replacing the rounded, pedestrian look of the outgoing model. It's a distinctly modern look, and overall interior materials quality is better than average for this class.
Although we miss the V6, admittedly it was too much engine for this compact package, affecting the RAV4's handling in all but a straight line. Although not as beefy, the refined four-cylinder is adequately powerful for most tasks. Using stiffer sheet metal and eliminating the external spare tire improve the RAV4's on-road handling, as does the optional dynamic all-wheel-drive system, which transfers torque rearward in tight turns. It's an expensive option, but probably worth it if you frequently need to hustle in winding, wet weather climates.
