2011 Toyota RAV4 LIMITED

Description

Rush hour traffic clears, the light turns green, and this 2011 Toyota RAV4 Limited in striking Pyrite Mica surges ahead with the calm confidence of a well-engineered SUV. Compact enough to weave through city streets yet capable enough for rougher roads thanks to full-time four-wheel drive, it’s the kind of vehicle that feels equally at home on a downtown commute or a snowy cottage run. Under the hood, a 2.5L I‑4 DOHC engine with VVT-i variable valve control delivers 179 horsepower while running on regular unleaded fuel, balancing usable power with everyday efficiency. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission featuring electronic control, a lock-up function, and a dedicated transmission oil cooler, this RAV4 is engineered to handle high-mileage driving with composed gear changes and reliable performance.

Its automatic full-time 4WD system and permanent locking hub control work with all-speed ABS, traction control, and an electronic stability control system to help maintain control in mixed weather and variable road conditions. The Limited trim’s exterior is both purposeful and distinctive. The Pyrite Mica paint is set off by body-coloured bumpers, door mirrors, and fender flares, complemented by a chrome grille and roof rails. Practical touches include a swing-out rear cargo door with an exterior-mounted full-size spare tire and steel wheel, wheel security locks, front and rear splash guards, and a rear lip spoiler. Halogen reflector headlights with auto on/off control, daytime running lights, front fog lights, LED brake lights, and a high-mounted centre stop light all contribute to visibility and presence. Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully designed for long-term comfort and usability.

Premium cloth upholstery covers both front and rear seats, while a leather steering wheel and metal-look accents on the instrument panel, console, and door panels add an upscale touch. The driver benefits from an 8-way power-adjustable seat with 2-way power lumbar, plus power reclining, cushion tilt, fore/aft, and height adjustment, while the front passenger seat offers 4-way manual adjustment. Anti-whiplash front head restraints and height-adjustable head restraints front and rear support comfort and safety. Rear seating is impressively flexible: a split-bench design with 60/40 folding, manual recline, manual fore/aft adjustment, and three height-adjustable rear head restraints lets you tailor the space for passengers or cargo. The rear seat centre armrest and rear beverage holders add convenience, while the fixed rear windshield and deep tinted windows help with privacy and cabin temperature control. The cargo area is set up for real-world use.

You get a roll-up cargo cover, carpeted cargo floor, plastic trunk lid trim, tie-down points, concealed storage, and a dedicated cargo area light. Whether you’re carrying groceries, sports gear, or luggage, this RAV4 is built to handle it neatly and securely. Technology and comfort features are designed to make daily driving easier. Automatic dual-zone climate control with a cabin air filter, rear under-seat climate ducts, and full carpet floor covering with mats help keep the interior comfortable and clean. An auto-dimming rearview mirror, illuminated entry, fade interior courtesy lights, front reading lights, and an illuminated ignition switch combine for an upscale feel during night driving. In terms of audio and connectivity, this RAV4 Limited focuses on versatile everyday entertainment. The integrated system includes AM/FM/XM satellite radio, a 6-disc in-dash CD player that’s CD-R compatible, six speakers, an auxiliary input jack, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, speed-sensitive volume, an automatic audio equalizer, and a roof-mounted antenna.

While this setup doesn’t incorporate modern Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone mirroring, the auxiliary input and multi-disc CD capability provide practical options for music and audio content using your own devices or media. Driver convenience continues with cruise control and steering wheel-mounted controls, a smart key system with hands-free access and push-button start, keyfob keyless entry, power door locks with two-stage unlocking, and retained accessory power. Three 12V power outlets give you flexibility for charging devices. The analog instrument cluster integrates a tachometer, trip odometer, exterior temperature display, digital clock, and various warning indicators for battery charge, fluids, and systems so you stay informed at a glance. Safety is supported by a fully galvanized body with side impact beams and a comprehensive airbag system: driver and front passenger front-impact airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the front seats, and curtain airbags for both rows, monitored by an airbag occupancy sensor for appropriate deployment.

Four-wheel disc brakes with front ventilated rotors, four-channel ABS, brake assist, and a rearview camera support confident braking and reversing. Rear child safety door locks and a rear seat centre 3-point belt are important details for family use. Ride and handling benefit from independent front and rear suspension, with a strut design up front and a double wishbone setup at the rear. Coil springs, gas-pressurized shocks, and front and rear anti-roll bars contribute to stability and comfort. Speed-sensitive electric power-assist rack-and-pinion steering helps keep the SUV easy to maneuver at low speeds and reassuring on the highway. The 17 x 7-inch silver aluminum wheels paired with P225/65HR17 all-season tires are sized for a blend of comfort, traction, and everyday practicality. With its high-utility interior, full-time four-wheel drive, long list of comfort and convenience features, and the proven durability associated with Toyota, this 2011 RAV4 Limited in Pyrite Mica stands out as a dependable, versatile pre-owned SUV ready to take on high-mileage commuting, weekend trips, and everything in between.
