What’s new in the 2017 Toyota RAV4 & RAV4 Hybrid?
One of the most popular crossovers in Canada, or at the very least one of the most popular Toyota models, is without a doubt the Toyota RAV4. Last year, the RAV4 Hybrid was introduced, and the standard model underwent a makeover before rolling out the new version. But just because a model receives a makeover one year, doesn’t mean that they can’t introduce new things the next year. The RAV4 & RAV4 Hybrid both got a handful of upgrades and enhancements this year, and we’re happy to fill you in!

And for 2017, we give Canadians even more to love, with more standard features including additional safety technologies, plus new model/grade packages. With a choice of front wheel drive, all-wheel drive and hybrid-powered models, there’s never been a better time to find out what thousands of Canadian drivers already know: the Toyota RAV4 is your perfect partner in play.”
