ATTRACTIVE FEATURES FOR THE XA30 RAV4 1. Bulletproof Resale Value: The third-generation RAV4 remains legendary for holding its market value exceptionally well due to the global demand for Toyota utility vehicles. 2. Spacious Car-like Handling: Built on a car-based unibody platform, it drives with the agility of a large hatchback while offering massive cabin headroom and rear passenger legroom. 3. Smart Active AWD (if equipped): The electronic 4WD system primarily powers the front wheels to save fuel but instantly shifts torque to the rear wheels if it senses road slippage. 4. Sideways-Opening Tailgate: The rear door swings open horizontally rather than lifting upward. This makes loading heavy cargo into the trunk incredibly low-effort.
