2025 Toyota RAV4: The Canadian-Built SUV That Masters Every Road

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 lineup arrives with an expanded selection of 16 distinct models, offering Canadian drivers unprecedented choice in the country's most popular SUV segment. Built right here in Ontario at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, the RAV4 combines local manufacturing expertise with global Toyota innovation.

The 2025 RAV4 stands out with its confident stance, featuring a wide track and long wheelbase that contribute to exceptional stability. Short overhangs and generous ground clearance enable the RAV4 to tackle everything from urban streets to cottage access roads with equal composure. The interior accommodates five adults comfortably, while the 60/40 split folding rear seats provide flexible cargo options.

Toyota offers three distinct powertrains in the 2025 RAV4 family. The conventional gas model features a 2.5L engine producing 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The RAV4 Hybrid combines the same engine with high-torque motor-generators to deliver 219 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. For maximum performance and efficiency, the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid, formerly called RAV4 Prime, generates 302 system horsepower and provides up to 68 kilometres of pure electric driving range.

Modern connectivity takes center stage with the Toyota Multimedia system, now standard across all models. This sophisticated interface integrates wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, offering intuitive control through touch, sight, and voice commands. The system keeps drivers connected while maintaining focus on the road ahead.

Safety remains paramount in the 2025 RAV4, with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 standard on every model. This comprehensive suite includes active safety technologies that support driver awareness and help reduce accident potential. Additional safety features include the Blind Spot Monitor System with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, eight airbags, and a backup camera.

The RAV4 family starts with the well-equipped LE AWD, featuring heated front seats and a responsive all-wheel-drive system. The XLE adds comfort amenities like a power moonroof and dual-zone climate control. The Trail AWD grade, now available in striking Army Green, offers enhanced off-road capability with Dynamic Torque Vectoring and a 1,588 kg towing capacity.

Hybrid models span from the efficient LE to the sport-focused XSE Technology, each delivering impressive fuel economy without compromising performance. The range-topping RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid XSE Technology Package combines luxury amenities with remarkable efficiency, achieving 2.5L equivalent per 100 kilometers in combined city/highway driving.

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 lineup demonstrates Toyota's commitment to Canadian drivers, offering models that suit every lifestyle and driving requirement. With prices starting at $33,555, the RAV4 continues to deliver exceptional value in the competitive SUV segment.
