2022 Toyota Rav4 LE AWD Review and Test Drive! Here is what comes standard!

Welcome back to another episode of Cars Unlocked. My name is Christopher and today we're with the 2022 Toyota RAV4 LE. We're going to go over everything that you get standard on the RAV4 to help you determine if it's the right car for you. Under the hood of the RAV4 is that 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine attached to an eight-speed automatic transmission. So that's what comes standard on this LE. You can choose front-wheel drive or you can choose all-wheel drive and you can also choose different drive trains but the one we have right now is the straight gas powered. We know you can choose the hybrid ones which we've filmed on our channel before so I'll link that video in the description below if you're interested in the hybrid but this one is just the regular gas LE and it's going to give you about 203 horsepower, 1500 pounds of towing if you do like to tow. So behind me is the all-wheel drive version. You can choose a front-wheel drive version. This one being all-wheel drive it has an MSRP of $31,090. That's a Canadian MSRP. Let's take a look at the exterior. So the RAV4 hasn't really changed in a handful of years but what you're getting is that Toyota reliability. You get the nice LED headlights. You get this nice flattened out Toyota emblem. That's for the pre-collision assist system and obviously you're getting the Toyota reliability so it really is going to be like these are your 10 to 15 year type vehicles will really last a long time and you'll have peace of mind in terms of mechanically how safe and sound it's going to be. Fuel economy you're going to get 7.9 liters for every 100 kilometers combined between the city and the highway. All my American friends out there that's about 36 miles per gallon so it's a pretty smooth ride. The engine does have that kind of four cylinder groan that you would expect but it's not a super loud groan and then we have a couple different drive modes. So we have an economy mode, we have a normal mode, sport mode, what else we got your snow mode, mud and sand mode and a rock and dirt mode. So a couple different modes which is great. Come around to the side here. This one is obviously in the silver exterior color. My only beef with this car. This is a $30,000 SUV and you still get hubcaps. They could have put some aluminum alloy rims on it but you do get these steel covered hubcaps. They don't look too bad. You have heated power folding mirrors and you have LED accents right on the mirror for your turning signal. Blind spot monitor as well. Tinted rear glass as well so that will help keep your kids safe from the UV rays. Certainly like the heated seats so we have heated front seats and then we have automatic on off here. So it has the automatic shut off where if you add a red light it will stop the engine for you from idling. I like how you can shut it off. A lot of the other vehicles you can't deactivate that and if you don't like it you can't shut it off. With this Toyota you can shut it off. 4.2 driver assist screen display here and it's going to show things like our kilometers to empty. I'd like to see a digital speedometer on this but I don't see a speedometer which isn't super fun. I'd like to see a digital speedometer on all the vehicles now. And then you get the full Toyota safety sense that comes standard. Things like your lane trace assist. You have your pre-collision assist for the front. You also have your blind spot warning which is going to show up right on your exterior mirrors. And then you have your rear crash traffic alert which is going to come through the backup camera. Big selling feature you get five USB ports in this. So you have two in the front two in the back and one in the center console here. I love this kind of cross stitching that they put on the seats and it's all throughout the center console here in your cup holders. It kind of gives it a more off-roady look. We have our seven inch infotainment screen. No GPS on this. You can go with the Android Auto and the Apple CarPlay right here that's going to come on the screen and then you just get a standard backup camera. There's lots of space in the back seat. I'm 5'9". I got lots of room and then if you have the rear seats folded upright you'll get 37 cubic feet of cargo capacity. So you have a nice big truck in this RAV4. Perfect for those weekend getaways strollers things like that if you have a family with young kids. So comment below guys if the RAV4 is on your shortlist. Let's take a look at the rear. I enjoy the dual chrome exhaust tips down below and then we have our RAV4 and LE all-wheel drive badging there and we have the backup camera as well right below our Toyota emblem.
