2023 Model Year Updates

Infotainment is the theme of 2023 RAV4 updates. Drivers from Trevose, and across "The City of Brotherly Love" area, can now navigate from an eight-inch screen on trim levels that previously had standard seven-inch ones. The Limited and TRD Off-Road trims feature 10.5-inch displays. The RAV4's software interface is also new, with more interactive capabilities including OTA (over-the-air) updates, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity.

Otherwise, the new RAV4 is pretty much unchanged from the 2022 model. The old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," applies. The RAV4 was the top-selling vehicle in the United States and world in 2021.

Interior

The best part about sinking into the driver's seat of a new RAV4 is its spacious interior and aforementioned cutting-edge technology. Features include SofTEX-trimmed seats, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and Sunroof. With up to 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats in use and 69.8 cubic feet with rear seats folded, the RAV4 is more than capable of accommodating a busy lifestyle. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 comes standard; offering Automatic High Beams, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping System, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Forward Collision Mitigation.

Exterior

If a stylish exterior is what you're after, the new Toyota RAV4 has you covered. With its Power Liftgate and a 120v/100W deck-mounted power outlet, you'll do well with adapting to a changing schedule. Drivers can also enjoy wheel styles like 18-inch multi-spoke super-chrome alloy wheels, 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, 19-inch multi-spoke super-chrome-finished alloy wheels, and more.

Engine Performance

The RAV4 won't win any drag races, but its ability to offer enough power to rival the competition is more than enough reason to buy one. All-wheel drive comes optional, and Multi-Terrain Select with selectable Mud and Sand, Rock and Dirt, Snow, and Normal modes can handle even the toughest eastern Pennsylvania road conditions. Tow up to 3,500 pounds and get your family's vacation off to a great start with your favorite boat or trailer.
