Description: The Toyota RAV4 is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. Considered the first compact crossover SUV, it made its debut in Japan and Europe in 1994, and in North America in 1995. The vehicle was designed for consumers wanting a vehicle that had some benefits of SUVs, such as increased cargo room, higher visibility, and the option of full-time four-wheel drive, along with the maneuverability and fuel economy of a compact car. The vehicle’s name is an abbreviation of "Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel drive", even though not all models were equipped with four-wheel drive. In 1997 for the 1998 model year, the RAV4 was slightly restyled on the front and rear fascias and a soft-top three-door was made available. Many reviews state that it is very reliable, built well, and should easily last 200,000 miles. Comment below and let us know what you think of the Toyota RAV 4.
