For 2018, Toyota brings buyers a new Adventure grade, adding unique rugged styling, higher ride height and other special features to the RAV4. In addition, RAV4 Hybrid now comes available on the LE grade, offering the same incredible EPA-estimated 34 mpg city and electronic on-demand All-Wheel-Drive system with intelligence.

With the addition of the Adventure grade, RAV4 now comes in six grades: LE, XLE, Adventure, SE, Limited, and Platinum. RAV4 Hybrid is now available in four grades for the 2018 model year: LE, XLE, SE, and Limited.

Available in front-wheel drive with an Automatic Limited Slip Differential, or in Dynamic Torque Control All-Wheel-Drive. the RAV4 Adventure grade lives up to its name. It comes with a Tow Prep Package, allowing the Adventure grade to tow up to 3,500 pounds (AWD).

RAV4 grades are powered by a punchy yet efficient 176-horsepower dual-overhead cam 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with dual VVT-i. It's teamed with a standard six-speed automatic transmission.

The 2018 RAV4 Hybrid combines output from a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine and a small high-torque electric motor through its unique transaxle. RAV4 Hybrid delivers powerful performance from a combined 194 system horsepower. The versatile Hybrid is the quickest in the RAV4 line, with zero to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds.

Vehicle-speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion electric power steering provides precision feel and quick response. Limited and Platinum grades feature striking 18-inch 5-spoke Superchrome alloy wheels with P235/55R18 all-season tires.

Significantly, all 2018 RAV4 grades are equipped as standard with Toyota Safety Sense P, which combines the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
