2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE

Description

Rooted in Toyota’s long-standing reputation for building practical, durable SUVs, this 2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD carries that heritage forward with a thoroughly modern twist. Finished in sophisticated Magnetic Grey Metallic with monotone, metallic paint and black bodyside cladding, it presents a confident, contemporary look that aligns with the RAV4’s legacy of everyday usability and long-term dependability. With just 66,924 kilometers on the odometer, this pre-owned XLE offers a compelling blend of proven reliability, advanced safety technology, and the kind of connectivity that today’s drivers expect. At the heart of this RAV4 is Toyota’s Dynamic Force 2.5L I-4 DOHC engine with port/direct injection and VVT-iE, producing 203 horsepower and paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and electronic control. The combination of regular unleaded fuel, ULEV II/Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions performance, and well-balanced power delivery helps support rated fuel consumption of 8.8 L/100 km in the city and 7.1 L/100 km on the highway.

Automatic full-time all-wheel drive, Multi-Terrain Select driver-selectable drivetrain modes, an electronic transfer case, and a transmission oil cooler provide confident traction and capability for changing road and weather conditions, supported by double wishbone rear suspension, strut front suspension, and gas-pressurized shocks. Inside, the RAV4 XLE focuses on comfort and usability with heated bucket front seats, cloth upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat with 8-way controls including 2-way power lumbar, and a 4-way adjustable front passenger seat. Rear passengers benefit from a split-folding 60/40 bench with manual reclining seatbacks and adjustable head restraints, allowing flexible cargo and passenger configurations. Automatic dual-zone climate control, rear under-seat ducts, and a cabin air filter keep the interior environment comfortable year-round. A first-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof with sunshade and express open/close adds natural light and ventilation when desired. Where this RAV4 XLE truly stands out for modern drivers is in its connectivity and smartphone integration.

The infotainment system is centered on a 7-inch touchscreen primary display with AM/FM audio, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, seek/scan, external memory control, and internet radio capability through integrated selective service internet access. The real highlight, however, is its Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device mirroring. For iPhone users, Apple CarPlay brings a familiar interface directly to the touchscreen, allowing you to access compatible apps, messages, phone calls, Apple Maps or other navigation apps, and your favorite music or podcasts using intuitive controls. Steering wheel-mounted audio and voice-activated controls help keep your focus on the road while you interact with Siri through CarPlay, making everyday tasks like sending a message or queuing up a playlist feel natural and distraction-conscious. Android users receive an equally polished experience through Android Auto integration.

Once connected, Android Auto presents a clean, driver-oriented interface that surfaces Google Maps or other supported navigation, Google Assistant voice control, and your preferred audio and messaging apps. With Bluetooth handsfree connectivity and steering wheel-mounted controls, you can use voice commands to place calls, reply to messages, or adjust media without taking your hands off the leather and metal-look heated steering wheel. A total of five USB ports and two 12V power outlets provide ample charging and connection options for multiple devices, ensuring everyone on board can stay powered and connected. Toyota’s connected services further enhance the tech package. Safety Connect delivers integrated emergency SOS functionality, while Service Connect supplies service interval indicators and related maintenance information. A trip computer, analog instrumentation with tachometer, engine temperature gauge, exterior temperature display, and various warning indicators (including fuel, washer fluid, battery charge, oil pressure, and key-in-vehicle alerts) provide clear operational feedback. Safety is a central pillar of this RAV4’s design.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 delivers forward collision mitigation through the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, along with Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and auto high-beam headlights. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) offer hands-on Level 2 partial automation to help manage speed and lane positioning in appropriate conditions. Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) extend your awareness during lane changes and reversing, while an integrated rear camera assists with parking and low-speed maneuvering. Eight airbags (including driver knee and front passenger seat cushion airbags), 4-wheel ABS with four-channel control, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, trailer sway control, and an immobilizer work together to enhance occupant protection.

A vehicle tracker feature adds another layer of security. From the outside, the Magnetic Grey Metallic finish is accented by body-coloured door mirrors with integrated turn signals, reflector-style LED headlights with auto on/off, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights, and front fog lights. Black grille surround, chrome side window trim, roof rails, front and rear splash guards, a rear lip spoiler, and 17 x 7-inch machined aluminum wheels on P225/65HR17 all-season tires contribute to a purposeful yet refined appearance. Wheel locks add a measure of security, while compact spare tire storage beneath the cargo floor preserves usable space. Everyday practicality remains a strong suit. Power door locks with auto-locking, keyfob keyless entry, smart key with push-button start, trunk/hatch auto-latching, and a power liftgate streamline access and loading.

Inside the cargo area, a multi-level floor, roll-up cargo cover, tie-downs, concealed storage, and carpeted flooring offer versatile organization. Up front, there is a full floor console with covered storage, a mini overhead console, door bins, seatback pocket, and a standard glove box, totaling eight beverage holders spread throughout the cabin for convenience. Front and rear armrests, illuminated entry, fade interior courtesy lights, and variable instrument panel lighting all contribute to a welcoming environment. With its established Toyota SUV lineage, efficient yet capable all-wheel-drive powertrain, extensive active safety suite, and especially its robust integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, this pre-owned 2021 RAV4 XLE in Magnetic Grey Metallic delivers a well-rounded, contemporary driving experience tailored to the demands of connected, safety-conscious drivers.
