2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE

Description

Wondering how to balance confident all-weather capability with modern tech that actually makes every drive easier, not more complicated? This 2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD in striking Magnetic Gray Metallic is built precisely for that driver—the one who wants an SUV that’s practical and efficient, yet unmistakably modern inside. Under the hood, Toyota’s Dynamic Force 2.5L I-4 engine delivers 203 horsepower while using regular unleaded fuel, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and automatic full-time all-wheel drive. The drivetrain is supported by Multi-Terrain Select, giving you driver-selectable modes to help adapt to changing surfaces. With an independent suspension at all four corners, gas-pressurized shocks, and 4-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS and brake assist, the RAV4 XLE is engineered for confidence in daily commuting and weekend travel alike.

Fuel efficiency is a strong point too, with rated city mileage of 8.8 L/100 km and 7.1 L/100 km on the highway. Where this RAV4 truly stands out is in its in-vehicle technology, especially for smartphone integration. At the heart of the cabin is a 7-inch touchscreen primary display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device mirroring. Plug in your compatible iPhone and Apple CarPlay brings your familiar apps onto the screen—Maps, Messages, Music, Podcasts, and more—allowing you to handle navigation, calls, and audio using the touchscreen, steering wheel controls, or voice commands. Daily routines become smoother: queue up playlists with Siri, follow real-time traffic guidance from Apple Maps, and reply to texts hands-free, all while keeping your focus on the road. Android users get the same level of thoughtful integration.

Android Auto lets you connect your compatible device for seamless access to Google Maps, Waze, and your favorite streaming and messaging apps, all mirrored on the RAV4’s central display. Voice control through Google Assistant makes it easy to request directions, adjust your audio, or place calls with natural speech, minimizing distraction. Combined with Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, six speakers, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, speed-sensitive volume, and internet radio capability, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto turn this RAV4 into a connected hub tailored to your digital life, whether you’re on a short errand or a long highway trip. Comfort and practicality are equally well thought out. Inside, you’ll find heated front bucket seats with cloth upholstery, an 8-way power driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar, and a manually adjustable front passenger seat.

Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear ducts helps keep everyone comfortable, while a heated leather and metal-look steering wheel adds a premium touch in colder months. The cabin is finished with cloth headliner, carpeted floor mats, and metal-look accents, with plenty of everyday usability: multiple storage bins, covered floor console storage, a mini overhead console, and eight beverage holders. Versatility in the rear is ensured by 60/40 split-folding rear seats with reclining function, height-adjustable head restraints, and a roll-up cargo cover. The multi-level cargo floor and concealed storage help keep gear organized, while cargo tie-downs, cargo area lighting, and a carpeted load floor add to everyday convenience. Accessing it all is simple thanks to the power liftgate. On the outside, this RAV4 XLE wears its Magnetic Gray Metallic finish with body-coloured bumpers, door handles, and mirrors complemented by black bodyside cladding and wheel well trim.

LED low and high beam headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights, and front fog lights enhance visibility and presence. A first-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof with sunshade brings natural light into the cabin, while roof rails add flexibility for extra cargo. The SUV rides on 17 x 7-inch machined aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires, with wheel locks and a compact spare stored under the cargo floor. Safety and driver assistance are comprehensive. Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 brings forward collision mitigation via the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, and Automatic High Beams. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control supports more relaxed highway driving. Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert help when changing lanes or backing out of tight spaces, while a rearview camera adds another layer of reassurance.

The RAV4 is equipped with eight airbags, including driver knee and front passenger seat cushion airbags, plus an airbag occupancy sensor. Electronic stability control, traction control, hill start assist, trailer sway control, and an electronic parking brake with automatic brake hold contribute to confident control in varied conditions. Connectivity and convenience features extend beyond the main screen. This RAV4 XLE includes Bluetooth hands-free calling, five USB ports to keep devices charged, Safety Connect emergency SOS, and Service Connect service interval monitoring. Keyless entry with smart key and push-button start, auto-locking doors, trunk/hatch auto-latching, and retained accessory power streamline daily use. Power windows with one-touch up/down for both rows, deep-tinted glass, rain-sensing wipers with heated wiper park, and a rear defroster help manage weather with minimal effort. With just 71,418 kilometres on the odometer and a well-rounded list of comfort, safety, and especially smartphone integration technology, this 2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD offers a compelling mix of reliability, efficiency, and everyday usability—an SUV that makes your phone, your commute, and your passengers all work together more smoothly.
