The Japanese auto maker, Toyota, is reported to developing their new 2025 Toyota RAV4. In case you don’t know it, this nameplate has become one of the most popular models from Toyota within the last decade. It’s able to tackle the harsh competition against other compact models, such as Ford Escape, Subaru Forester, and Honda CR-V. The current RAV4 is the fifth gen vehicle that was launched in 2019. That’s why many auto enthusiasts have speculated that Toyota may redesign RAV4 for the 2025 model.
Interior Cabin
Space is one of the main reasons why people shy away from sedans and turn to crossovers or SUVs. Even pickup trucks are believed to offer more space, especially leg room, than the sedans. RAV4 is known for the spacious cabin, but the improvement for the interior cabin will be more intense than the previous model.
Here’s the comparison of 2024 RAV4 against 2024 CRV (Honda) and Forester (Subaru).
- For front leg room, RAV4 offers 41.0 inches and 37.8 inches on the back, with cargo space is 37.6 cubic feet when the seats are up and 69.8 cubic feet when seats are down.
- For front leg room, CR-V offers 41.3 inches and 40.4 inches on the back, with cargo space is 39.2 cubic feet when the seats are up and 75.8 cubic feet when seats are down.
- For front leg room, Forester offers 43.3 inches and 39.4 inches on the back, with cargo space is 28.9 cubic feet when the seats are up and 74.2 cubic feet when seats are down.
Besides the space, the cabin should also have improved ambiance and vibe. New materials should be expected, together with improved upholstery. New technologies should also be expected, with many features would be offered as the standard getup. And let’s not forget about the driving safety features that are meant to protect the driver and passengers. The integrity of the entire SUV will stay safe and protected.
