car_truckAgainst a crowded field of compact SUVs that often tilt toward either city comfort or weekend grit, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 TRAIL distinguishes itself by doing both with calm confidence. Draped in 06V7 Army Green, it projects a purposeful stance without posturing, while its full-time all-wheel drive and carefully tuned suspension deliver the composure you want for weekday commuting and the traction you need when the pavement ends. It feels ready for rain-slick boulevards, snow-packed lanes, and gravel pullouts in equal measure—an uncommon balance in this segment.
Under the hood, the Dynamic Force 2.5L four-cylinder pairs 203 horsepower with an 8-speed automatic that shifts cleanly and keeps revs in the sweet spot. Multi-Terrain Select, Downhill Assist Control, and Hill Start Assist Control expand the confidence envelope when the route turns rough, and a transmission oil cooler and lock-up torque converter help keep performance consistent on long grades.
Despite the added capability, efficiency remains a strong suit, with an estimated 9.5 L/100 km city and 7.2 L/100 km highway.
The cabin blends durability and refinement in a way that suits the TRAIL badge. SofTex leatherette upholstery resists daily wear, heated front seats and a heated leather steering wheel take the edge off early starts, and an 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support fine-tunes comfort for longer trips. Dual-zone automatic climate control, thoughtful storage (including a covered center console and ample door bins), and a versatile 60/40 split-folding rear bench with adjustable head restraints make it easy to transition from passengers to gear. A power liftgate, roll-up cargo cover, tie-downs, and a multi-level cargo floor maximize practicality, while a first-row sliding and tilting sunroof adds fresh air and light when the day calls for it.
Technology is anchored by an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with Toyota Assistant voice control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a wireless charger to keep your primary device topped up. Five USB ports, an integrated Wi‑Fi hotspot, and a 120V AC outlet support passengers and workdays alike, and a 7-inch digital gauge display presents key information with clarity. Over-the-air updates help keep systems current without interrupting your schedule.
Safety is comprehensive and modern. Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ brings a robust suite including the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist, Proactive Driving Assist, and Emergency Steering Assist. Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Safe Exit Assist, and a standard rear camera further bolster awareness, while eight airbags, LED headlights with Auto High Beams, and LED fog lights support confidence after dark.
The Star Safety System™ and SafetyConnect® (trial subscription) add foundational protection and emergency assistance, and Service Connect monitoring plus Remote Connect features such as Guest Driver Monitor round out the ownership experience.
Outside, machined 19-inch alloy wheels with painted accents, black bodyside cladding, roof rails, and a chrome-finished quasi-dual exhaust underscore the TRAIL model’s athletic posture. With just 3 kilometers on the odometer and the reassurance of ToyotaCare on a new vehicle, this RAV4 TRAIL is set up for everyday dependability and the spontaneous detour—the way a true all-rounder should be.
