car_truckEngineered with efficiency at its core, this 2017 Toyota RAV4 SE AWD in striking Galactic Aqua Mica delivers practical performance without sacrificing environmental responsibility. Its 2.5L I-4 engine is tuned to meet ULEV II and Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions standards, meaning it runs cleaner than many conventional SUVs in its class. Paired with regular unleaded fuel requirements and thoughtfully calibrated power delivery, this RAV4 offers a smart balance of everyday usability, responsible fuel consumption, and reduced emissions—ideal for drivers who want capability and confidence without ignoring their environmental footprint.
Inside, the RAV4 SE focuses on connectivity and control. The integrated navigation system with voice activation keeps you confidently on course, while the 7-inch primary display serves as the central hub for your media, information, and settings.
The Smart device app link capability enhances smartphone integration, giving you intuitive access to compatible apps and services. With six speakers, AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, and auxiliary input, there is flexible audio choice whether you are commuting, running errands, or heading out on a weekend drive.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility elevate the in-cabin experience further, bringing your phone’s familiar interface into easy reach. Apple CarPlay allows iPhone users to mirror key apps such as maps, calls, messages, and music through the vehicle’s display with an interface designed to minimize distraction. This tight integration means you can ask for directions, send dictated messages, or change playlists with a simple voice command. Android Auto offers a similarly robust experience for Android users, organizing Google Maps navigation, calls, texts, and audio content into a clean, driver-focused layout.
Together, these systems transform the RAV4’s infotainment environment, replacing outdated plug-and-play solutions with full-featured, app-based connectivity that makes every trip feel more seamless and intuitive.
The SE trim brings a more engaging feel to the drive. A 6-speed automatic transmission with selectable modes and sequential shift control allows you to tailor response to conditions, while sport ride suspension, gas-pressurized shocks, and independent front and rear suspension provide composed handling. All-wheel drive with an electronic transfer case and all-speed traction control work with four-wheel disc brakes and four-channel ABS to help maintain stability in varying road and weather conditions. Hill start assist and electronic stability control add another layer of confidence on inclines and slippery surfaces.
Comfort and refinement are thoughtfully addressed. Sport front bucket seats with power-adjustable driver’s seat (including 2-way power lumbar) and heated front seats help keep you supported on longer journeys.
Dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel, and heated exterior mirrors make cold-weather driving more pleasant. Leather steering wheel and leatherette upholstery on seats, door trims, and dashboard provide an upscale, cohesive interior ambiance without sacrificing durability.
Practicality remains a key strength. The 60/40 folding rear seats, roll-up cargo cover, concealed cargo storage, and tie-downs allow you to configure the rear area for passengers, gear, or a mix of both. A power liftgate simplifies loading and unloading, while roof rails add flexibility for additional cargo solutions. Everyday usability is further supported by multiple 12V outlets, seatback pockets, and covered console storage for smaller items.
Safety and driver assistance are comprehensive. Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, blind spot warning, rear collision warning, and a rearview camera form a solid active safety suite.
Eight airbags, including front, side, curtain, driver knee, and a passenger seat cushion airbag, work with an advanced body structure featuring side-impact beams and fully galvanized panels. Adaptive cruise control helps reduce fatigue on longer drives, maintaining speed and distance with minimal input from the driver.
From its emissions-conscious powertrain to its advanced smartphone integration and well-rounded safety technologies, this 2017 Toyota RAV4 SE AWD offers a compelling combination of responsibility, connectivity, and everyday practicality in a distinctive Galactic Aqua Mica finish.
