2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SE

Description

The early morning commute turns into a calm, confident drive the moment you settle into this 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SE. Magnetic Grey Metallic paint catches subtle light as the hybrid system glides away from a stop, the cabin staying impressively quiet while traffic bustles around you. All-wheel drive stands ready for changing weather, but inside, the real focus is on smart technology that keeps you connected and in control every day. This pre-owned 2017 RAV4 Hybrid SE delivers the efficiency and smoothness you expect from a hybrid, backed by Toyota’s 2.5L I-4 DOHC engine paired with a hybrid electric system and CVT. Regenerative brakes, an ECO feedback display gauge, and LEV3-SULEV30/Tier 3 Bin 30 emissions technology work together to help you drive efficiently without having to think about it.

All-wheel drive, sport ride suspension, and gas-pressurized shocks support confident handling in rain, snow, or dry pavement, while the transverse-mounted engine and lock-up transmission contribute to a composed, easygoing feel on the road. Inside the SE cabin, the focus turns to comfort and everyday functionality. Sport front bucket seats with SofTex leatherette upholstery, power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, and heated front seats create a supportive environment for long commutes or weekend trips. The leather steering wheel, leather and metal-look shifter, and leatherette dashboard and door trims add an upscale feel, complemented by chrome and metal-look interior accents. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a cabin air filter, rear under-seat climate ducts, and a heated windshield wiper park are practical touches that make all-season driving easier. Technology is where this RAV4 Hybrid SE stands out, particularly for drivers who rely on their smartphones.

Apple CarPlay integration takes center stage, turning the 7-inch primary display into an extension of your iPhone. Once connected, you can access compatible apps, maps, messages, and music through familiar icons and layouts, all while keeping your hands on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. Voice activation works seamlessly with CarPlay, allowing you to place calls, dictate and hear messages, or adjust playlists using simple voice prompts rather than reaching for your phone. Android Auto is equally well integrated, giving Android users a streamlined, driver-focused interface. Navigation through compatible apps, voice-to-text messaging, and personalized audio content sync up quickly, and the system works in tandem with the vehicle’s Bluetooth wireless audio streaming and handsfree connectivity. This combination means you can switch between calls, navigation, and media with minimal distraction, using steering wheel-mounted controls and voice commands.

Whether you’re a dedicated Apple user or firmly in the Android camp, the smart device app link and external memory control help keep your digital life aligned with your driving routine. Beyond smartphone integration, the RAV4 Hybrid SE offers a well-rounded media setup with AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio (including a 3-month satellite trial subscription) and six speakers. Speed-sensitive volume, a digital clock, trip computer, and ECO feedback display keep key information where you need it. The integrated navigation system with voice activation provides guidance when you want built-in mapping, working alongside the rearview camera and rear parking alerts to support confident maneuvering in tight spaces. Safety and driver assistance technologies are thorough and thoughtfully engineered. Toyota’s Pre-Collision System (PCS) with forward collision mitigation, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, blind spot warning, rear collision warning, pedestrian impact prevention, and hill start assist create a layered protective envelope around the vehicle.

Eight airbags, including driver side knee airbag and front passenger seat cushion airbag, curtain airbags for both rows, and seat-mounted side airbags provide added security. All-wheel drive with all-speed ABS, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel disc brakes contribute to confident stopping and control. Practicality is another strong point. The RAV4 Hybrid SE offers 60/40 folding rear seats, a split-bench configuration, manual reclining rear backs, and fold-forward capability to adapt quickly between passengers and cargo. A power liftgate, roll-up cargo cover, cargo tie-downs, and concealed storage in the cargo area make everyday tasks easier, while roof rails expand your options for larger gear. Deep tinted windows, rear wiper, rear window defroster, and fixed rear glass support year-round usability. On the outside, this Magnetic Grey Metallic RAV4 Hybrid SE presents a subtly sporty look.

Black bodyside cladding, black grille and trim, a rear lip spoiler, metal-look bumper inserts, and 18 x 7.5-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents give it a purposeful stance. LED low and high beam headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights, auto high beams, and projector beam headlamps enhance nighttime visibility and presence. With 142,406 kilometres on the odometer, this pre-owned 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SE delivers a mature combination of hybrid efficiency, all-weather capability, and modern connectivity. Its emphasis on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, backed by a robust suite of safety features and a versatile interior, makes it a compelling choice for drivers who want their SUV to work as smoothly with their phone as it does with the road.
