If you’re in the market for an SUV but are afraid of the prices at the pump, we have the vehicle for you.  The 2013 Toyota RAV4 LE at your Pennsylvania Toyota dealership has great fuel efficiency.  It also has a bold new style and plenty of standard features.

 

Performance and Fuel Economy

The 2013 RAV4 LE has a new six-speed transmission which replaces the four-speed of previous models.  This performs well with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 176 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque.  If you choose front-wheel drive, the RAV4 will get 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway for a combined 26 mpg. This is a great number for an SUV. It uses Ultra Low Emission Vehicle II to reduce toxins released into the air.  It comes standard with Electric Power Steering for easy maneuvering and a power-assisted rack-and-pinion.  In Edmunds performance tests, the RAV4 all-wheel-drive model went from 0-60in 9.1 seconds.  Feel safe and secure knowing the RAV4 received the highest “good” rating from IIHS in tests of frontal-offset, roof strength and side-impact.

 

Standard Features of the 2013 Toyota RAV4 LE

Though the LE is the base model, it’s still packed with lots of goodies. On the outside it has  17-inch steel wheels, power folding mirrors, rear privacy glass and your choice of 9 earthy colors. Inside enjoy a streamlined dashboard, cruise control, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, rearview camera, full power accessories, six-speaker sound system with touchscreen and iPod/USB interface and Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity.  Fold down the second row seats and you can store 73.3 cubic feet of personal treasures.
