If you're in the market for a Toyota RAV4, you're in
luck as the company has announced price cuts on a handful of 2017 models.
Starting with the entry-level RAV4 LE, customers can
now pick up the crossover for US$ 24,410 which is a modest decline of US$ 500. The
mid-level RAV XLE sees a more significant five percent reduction in price as it
now starts US$ 1,330 lower at US$ 26,830.
Moving further up the ranks, the sporty RAV4 SE
receives a price cut of US$ 1,195 which lowers the base price to US$ 28,790. Lastly,
the nicely appointed RAV Limited starts at US$ 30,905 which is a reduction of US$ 925.
Pricing for the RAV4 Platinum and Hybrid remains
unchanged but all models will come equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense P
active safety package which includes a pre-collision warning system with
pedestrian detection and automatic braking. The package also adds automatic
high beam headlights, dynamic radar cruise control, and a lane departure
warning system with steering assist.
Since hybrids are excluded from the price cut, the
more affordable models are all powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that
produces 176 hp and 233 Nm of torque. The engine is
connected to a six-speed automatic transmission which can be paired to an
optional all-wheel drive system.
