In 2022, the Toyota RAV4 became one of the best‑selling SUVs in North America, and this pre-owned 2022 RAV4 XLE AWD in 03T3 Ruby Flare Pearl shows exactly why: it blends real-world efficiency, advanced safety, and everyday usability into one well‑equipped package with an impressive 203 horsepower on tap. Finished in eye‑catching Ruby Flare Pearl with subtle black cladding and chrome side window trim, this RAV4 XLE projects a modern, purposeful look without being flashy. LED low and high beam headlights, LED daytime running lights, and LED brake lights sharpen its presence day and night, while 17 x 7-inch machined aluminum wheels and P225/65HR17 all-season tires help deliver confident grip in changing conditions. Roof rails add practical flexibility for bikes, skis, or cargo carriers, and a power liftgate simplifies loading the multi-level cargo floor and roll-up cargo cover. Under the hood, Toyota’s Dynamic Force 2.5L I-4 engine with port/direct injection and VVT-iE variable valve control produces 203 horsepower and works with an 8-speed automatic transmission and automatic full-time all-wheel drive.

The result is confident acceleration with fuel efficiency rated at approximately 9.5 L/100 km in the city and 7.1 L/100 km on the highway, using regular unleaded fuel. Multi-Terrain Select with driver-selectable drivetrain modes enhances traction on varying surfaces, while features like lock-up transmission, transmission electronic control, overdrive, and a transmission oil cooler support smooth, efficient operation over time. Inside, the cabin is designed for everyday comfort and smart utility. Premium cloth upholstery covers the bucket front seats and split-folding 60/40 rear seats, with a fold-forward rear seatback and multi-level cargo floor maximizing usability. The driver enjoys an 8-way power seat with 2-way power lumbar, cushion tilt, fore/aft, and height adjustment for tailored support on longer trips. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated power-adjustable exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals add cold-weather comfort and visibility.

Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear console ducts and rear under-seat ducts keeps passengers comfortable across both rows. The centerpiece of this RAV4’s technology is its smartphone integration, and this is where it truly stands out. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fully supported through the primary touchscreen display, enabling seamless mirroring of compatible smartphones. For Apple CarPlay users, daily driving can be transformed into an extension of your iPhone: access Apple Maps or other navigation apps on the central screen, respond to messages via Siri without taking your hands off the leather and metal-look steering wheel, and bring your favorite iTunes or Apple Music playlists into the six-speaker audio system. Phone calls, calendar reminders, and podcasts all integrate smoothly, helping keep attention on the road while staying connected. Android Auto support is equally robust.

Android users can call up turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps or other compatible navigation apps on the 7-inch primary touchscreen, use Google Assistant voice commands to send messages or place calls, and stream audio from popular apps with minimal distraction. The system’s design helps minimize fumbling with your device—simply plug in and the interface adapts to the car’s display, complemented by steering wheel-mounted audio and voice controls. With 5 USB ports available, passengers can charge devices while the driver makes the most of this smart device mirroring capability for navigation, communication, and entertainment. Supporting this connected experience is Bluetooth handsfree calling and wireless audio streaming, a mobile hotspot capability for on-the-go data access, and speed-sensitive volume adjustment that automatically fine-tunes audio levels as you accelerate.

Voice-activated audio controls allow quick changes to tracks or stations without taking eyes off the road, while the analog instrumentation and 4.2-inch gauge cluster display present essential driving information cleanly and clearly. Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 2.0 forms the backbone of this SUV’s driver assistance suite. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection helps watch for potential frontal hazards, while Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist works to gently guide the vehicle back if it begins to drift. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) supports highway driving by maintaining a set distance to vehicles ahead, and Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) contributes to hands-on assisted driving within clearly marked lanes. Blind Spot Monitor with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert further enhance awareness, particularly useful in busy parking lots and multi-lane traffic. In addition to these active systems, the RAV4 XLE provides a robust passive safety structure: 8 airbags including front, side, curtain, driver knee, and front passenger seat cushion airbags, along with front and rear head restraints and three rear seat head restraints.

Four-wheel ABS with brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control, hill start assist, tire-pressure-related warnings through the instrumentation, and trailer sway control further support stable, predictable driving behavior. Convenience is integrated throughout. Smart Key with hands-free access and push-button start streamlines entry and ignition, while power windows (front and rear one-touch up/down), power door locks with two-stage unlocking, and keyfob keyless entry and trunk control simplify daily use. The power liftgate with tailgate/power door lock integration adds practicality when loading groceries or luggage. Two 12V power outlets and multiple storage areas—including a covered floor console, driver and passenger door bins, cargo tie-downs, overhead console storage, and concealed cargo area storage—help keep the cabin organized. The driving environment is finished with thoughtful details: a leather and metal-look steering wheel, metal-look console insert, door panel inserts, and instrument panel accents, full carpet floor covering with front and rear floor mats, a cloth headliner, and carpet rear seatback upholstery.

Deep tinted rear windows, a sunshade-equipped first-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof with express open/close, and illuminated entry with fade-out interior courtesy lighting all contribute to a refined yet practical atmosphere. With just 62,623 kilometers on the odometer and a carefully curated blend of efficiency, everyday comfort, and standout smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, this pre-owned 2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD in Ruby Flare Pearl offers a compelling option for drivers who value modern connectivity as much as they value Toyota’s reputation for durability and safety-focused engineering.
