Aimed at those looking to travel beyond the comfort
of tarmac, the 2018 Toyota RAV4 Adventure is getting ready to arrive at dealers
this month. Presented earlier this year during the 2017 Chicago Auto Show, the
rugged version of the popular SUV will set its future buyers back at least US$ 28,695, including the US$ 995 destination charge.
For the money, the automaker will sell you the
front-wheel drive version of the RAV4 Adventure, with an automatic limited-slip
differential. Choosing the all-wheel drive model means being ready to pay at
least US$ 29,395, before selecting any options from the list. The price tag puts
it right between the XLE and SE trim levels.
The 2018 Toyota RAV4 Adventure is
instantly recognizable, with its 'Adventure' badging, large overfender flares,
lower body guards, black headlight bezels and fog lamp surrounds, roof racks,
and 18-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in 235/55 tires.
The unique trim panels, special door sill
protectors, all-weather floor and cargo mats with the 'Adventure' logo,
leather-wrapped shift knob, and 120V/100W power outlet in the cargo area make
up its interior enhancements.
Compared to regular versions, it has an extra 1 cm in ground clearance, plus the standard Tow Prep Package. Safety systems
include Toyota Safety Sense P, Trailer Sway Control, Hill-Start Assist, Lane
Departure Warning with Steering Assistant, Dynamic Cruise Control, and the
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection.
