The Toyota RAV4 is entering the 2024 model year with no significant changes. We included the RAV4 on our best midsize SUVs and crossovers list for its combination of space, rugged styling, generous standard features, and good fuel economy numbers.

The competition is stronger than ever, but the 2024 Toyota RAV4 remains a solid pick for a versatile, stylish, and dependable steed.

2024 Toyota RAV4: What?s New"

The 2024 RAV4 is part of the fifth-gen variant that debuted in 2019, meaning it could use a reboot to outclass the Mazda CX-50 and Honda CR-V. Thankfully, there?s an all-new RAV4 slated to arrive for the 2025 model year, which should debut a more potent (and more efficient) turbo or hybridized powertrain to address the RAV4?s tepid nature.
Otherwise, there are no crucial changes to the 2024 Toyota RAV4. It still has a fuel-efficient yet somewhat lackluster 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. It produces 203 horsepower, which is still an okay number for a family crossover.

Key features of the 2.0-liter mill include direct and port injection, high-speed combustion, and electronic throttle control. Meanwhile, the eight-speed automatic gearbox enables an EPA-estimated 27 in the city, 35 on the highway, and 30 combined.  

By comparison, the 2024 RAV4 Hybrid and its 219-horsepower hybrid powertrain delivers 40 mpg combined.
