If you’re a Texas driver in a place like Burleson, Fort Worth, Alvarado, or Mansfield, you want an SUV that will help you cruise all the distances you need to cover without breaking down or wearing out. Is there an SUV out there that’s capable of that? Here at Family Toyota of Burleson, we know at least one SUV that fits that description: the 2025 Toyota RAV4.
Let’s look at what makes the new RAV4 a great option for drivers in Texas.
How the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Stands Out
Performance & Handling
The Toyota RAV4 has a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine and an 8-speed transmission that generates 203 horsepower. It comes standard with front-wheel drive, but also has available All-Wheel Drive (AWD). These elements give the RAV4 a solid amount of power, and they also contribute to its smooth handling and comfort. Another component that creates the RAV4’s smooth handling is its Multi-Link Rear Suspension. This suspension system works with the RAV4’s natural body rigidity to keep its traction steady, which in turn generates excellent control while you drive it.
Alongside all these elements, the Toyota RAV4 also has multiple Drive Modes that adjust the elements of driving that the SUV’s internal computer prioritizes. If you want to prioritize both fuel economy and performance, select NORMAL Mode. If you want to maximize your SUV’s fuel efficiency, select Eco Mode. And if you want sharper acceleration when you drive, select SPORT Mode. The RAV4 also has multiple trims with an additional drive mode option called Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), which has modes for MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, and SNOW, giving you greatly increased stability when the weather gets rough or when you want to do some light off-roading.
Hybrid Options
The RAV4 has 7 hybrid trims, including the Hybrid Woodland Edition and the Hybrid XSE. They come with a 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor with an electronic CVT transmission. This powertrain generates a total of 219 combined horsepower between the SUV’s front and rear, giving it a slightly zippier driving manner. The RAV4 Hybrid also has absolutely stellar fuel economy—it’s rated for 41 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs available.
Towing Capacity and Capabilities
The RAV4 is capable of towing and carrying large amounts of cargo. For example, the RAV4’s Limited trim is able to tow 1,500 pounds, while its Hybrid Woodland Edition and Hybrid XSE trims can tow up to 1,750 pounds. The RAV4 Limited also has a maximum payload of 1,015 pounds, while the Hybrid XSE has a maximum payload of 1,115 pounds.
Interior Spaciousness
All of the Toyota RAV4 trims carry five passengers comfortably, along with plenty of room to spare for cargo. The RAV4 has an impressive 136.4 cubic feet of overall interior volume, with 98.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, 69.8 cubic feet of front cargo volume and 37.5 cubic feet of rear cargo volume. All that space provides your passengers with leg room and tons of space to pack their gear, luggage, and anything else they need to carry with them. In fact, we’d even go as far as saying the RAV4 is the ultimate road trip vehicle.
How Do All These Things Help Texas Drivers?
Well, Texas is big, just like the larger country that it resides in. It’s great to have an SUV that can travel great distances and adjust to the driver’s needs and the needs of the road as you travel around such a large state. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg when you have to visit the gas station.
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 gets you where you need to go, no matter how hot or cold the weather is. It keeps you and your passengers comfortable while hauling everything you need when you reach your destination. It’s an SUV that can handle great distances and intense weather while never sacrificing smooth handling, style, or comfort.
