The Interior

The Rav4 2020 can accommodate up to five passengers with two in the front row (driver and front passenger) and the remaining three in the second row. It has an open and airy cabin to provide enough leg and headroom. The front seats are very comfortable, and it has an optional eight-way-power adjustable driver's seat to provide better relief. A power lumbar support is also available in the SUV's features to provide additional support during long road trips. In all Rav4 trims, passenger seats have only four-way manual settings, and there is enough space for adult passengers in the second row.



The SUV also provides two complete sets of LATCH connectors for its rear outboard seats. Rav4's LATCH system has a high rating for its easy-to-use and safe connectors. You won't have any problems with finding or accessing the lower anchors, and all three tether anchors mark on the back of the rear seats.

The interior quality of the Toyota Rav4 has been improving over the years, and its 2020 interior design stands out as the most unique and promising creation. 

The current Rav4 2020 holds a well-polished cabin stuffed with soft-touch surfaces and a pleasing aesthetic. In some trim levels, you will find embellished stitching on the seats, dashboard, and doors, along with other color accents that put them apart. The SUV's door grips come prepared with textured soft-touch rubber instead of the rough hard plastics found in other competitors. There is also an available optional synthetic leather upholstery, which adds more beauty to the vehicle's interior.

Performance

The 2020 RAV4 uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Its engine also operates with an eight-speed automatic transmission that provides a smooth acceleration on the tracks and timely shifts. 

Its horsepower rating is one of the most outstanding among compact SUVs equipped with a base engine. To add to this, many competitors can't compare with the Rav4's standard horsepower rating because theirs is much lower.
