How does she hook us? By admitting she recommended the previous version of the Toyota RAV4 to her friends, but would never own one. The 2013 Toyota RAV4, though, she does own.
"The 2013 RAV4 not only looks great, but it still offers everything a busy family could want: It's affordable, versatile and has many conveniences."
If you are looking for a family car, one thing that seems to be on the checklist of must-haves is: it can't look like a family car. By shedding its boxy shape the 2013 Toyota RAV4 has met this requirement.
"The changes to the 2013 RAV4's exterior are drastic. The new styling has taken years off the RAV4's appearance, and it's now one of the best-looking compact crossovers in the segment. With dramatic angles and a sleeker frame, it looks modern and ready to stand against its competitors"
One of the most important features of a family vehicle is cargo. Many of us at Burien Toyota have families, so we know how important this really is and the difference it can make in your life. For example, the 2013 Toyota RAV4 can easily fit two car seats and there is still room to recline without getting kicked by children with restless leg syndrome (or to get a reaction from mom or dad). The writer of the Cars.com review, with her own family, took special note of the cargo space of the 2013 Toyota RAV4, especially since it no longer includes a third row of seats. As a professional car critic, she noted that the cargo space is more than most crossovers, including the Kia Sportage.
This review even addresses some things that other critics might count against the 2013 Toyota RAV4, including the fact that it will no longer be offered with a V6 engine. Her conclusion? The specs for the 2013 Toyota RAV4 are just fine for the average family who don't need extreme performance, just enough to get around. For those looking for that third row of seats?
"It's no longer an option in the RAV4 for 2013. I say kudos to Toyota for keeping things real in a compact SUV; folks in need of a third row should research the Toyota Highlander. Enough said."
Of course, one of the most important aspects to a family vehicle is safety. The 2013 Toyota RAV4 comes with all the safety features you would expect: anti-lock brakes, brake assist, traction control, and eight airbags, including side curtains for both rows. It also has a back up camera with rear parking sensors and, "A blind spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert is optional. Rear cross-traffic alert has quickly become one of the most valuable features to me in cars these days, and it's also one that is rarely seen in this class. When in Reverse, it will alert the driver if it senses anything behind the car; this is especially great in tight parking lots. All-wheel drive is also optional."
The interior of the car has also been upgraded, and these changes, while subtle, are mostly for the adults.
"I love that the 6.1-inch touch-screen comes standard, which really helps to streamline the center stack considerably. Toyota's Entune multimedia system is optional. The RAV4 also has four cupholders, a center console with USB input, cutouts and bottleholders in each door, and seatback pockets for the backseat...The cabin remains airy feeling, and the legroom is ample."
