What Makes the Toyota RAV4 a Standout SUV?
There are reasons why the RAV4 has been at the top of its class for some time now, including the above-mentioned durability. When choosing a vehicle, one of the priorities is finding something that will provide you with reliability for many years. Toyota is known for producing cars that do just that, making the RAV4 an excellent option to consider.
Of course, durability isn't the only reason why the RAV4 is a must-see. It also provides you with many of the latest technology features when it comes to connectivity and safety. This is key whether you travel alone or with others in the vehicle. Those features include the ability to connect a compatible phone to the infotainment system to access your favorite apps, as well as driver-assist systems that alert you to changes in traffic flow and offer support as you transition from one lane to the next.
Despite its compact size, the RAV4 is also quite comfortable, offering ample legroom and headroom for you and your passengers. If you spend a lot of time in traffic on your way to work or negotiating tight city streets, this means you get the best of both worlds-room for everyone on board and a footprint that makes maneuverability a breeze. There are also upgrades that take comfort to the next level, which our team can explore with you.
It's also worth noting that the RAV4 is a great option if you enjoy outdoor adventures. In fact, when looking at our selection, you will notice trim levels that are designed to help you enjoy the great outdoors even more, offering higher ground clearance and improved traction. Even better? We can point you toward accessories that allow you to personalize your ride to ensure it checks all the boxes.
Finally, the RAV4 offers excellent efficiency with its hybrid powertrain options. This efficiency translates to more money in your pocket at the end of the day. When you add that to the RAV4's minimal maintenance needs and the already mentioned durability, choosing it as your everyday vehicle simply makes sense.
Shopping for a New RAV4
When shopping from our inventory, either in person or online, you will quickly see that we have many new RAV4 models to choose from. Choosing a new RAV4 is the best way to ensure you get the latest styling and features. It also gives you the chance to take advantage of any rebates or incentives that might be active at the time of sale.
There are other reasons you might lean toward a new RAV4, however. One of the most common is the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the full factory warranty on your side. Yes, the RAV4 is reliable, but the added support you get from the warranty pushes that reassurance to the next level.
Buying new also gives you the opportunity to find the color, trim level, and package options you are looking for, ensuring you get the best fit for you. Plus, there is a certain sense of pride that comes from owning a new vehicle.
Choosing a Pre-Owned RAV4
While there are benefits to buying a new RAV4, there are also advantages to choosing a pre-owned option. For instance, when shopping from our used inventory, you might come across the exact model you are looking for-the one with all the bells and whistles-at a lower price than it would have cost if you had purchased it new. This boost to your budget allows you to set money aside for trips, accessories to customize your RAV4, or whatever else you might need.
Another cost savings you will enjoy by choosing a pre-owned vehicle is insurance. Insurance premiums are based on value, and used vehicles are valued lower than their newer counterparts, which means you will not only enjoy a lower loan payment but also a reduced insurance payment.
Speaking of value, new vehicles tend to depreciate quickly in their first few years, but when choosing a pre-owned model, you get to avoid that drop in value. This means you gain more of your investment back when you trade in your car for a newer model, making a pre-owned vehicle a smart financial choice for many drivers.
You also have the chance to research model years and trim levels when shopping from our pre-owned inventory to make sure you get the right fit for you. This research, the vehicle history report that comes with each of our pre-owned models, and the information you get from our team, helps you feel confident in your decision.
It is also worth mentioning that our factory-trained technicians have vetted each of the pre-owned RAV4 options in our inventory to make sure they are ready for their next owner. Ultimately, for many drivers, choosing a used vehicle is the way to go, as it gives them more control of the experience.
Financing Your RAV4
We know that the finance side of purchasing a vehicle can feel a bit overwhelming. With this in mind, it is our goal to make it less of a hassle. One of the ways we do this is by letting you start the process online, from the comfort of your home. That's right. You can complete a credit application and submit it without ever setting foot in our showroom. Once you do, a member of our team will reach out with your options.
We also offer competitive rates and flexible payment plans, even if your credit is less than perfect. At the end of the day, we want everyone to have the opportunity to drive a safe and reliable vehicle, so we work hard to ensure you can too.
Our team can also explore Toyota's leasing program with you. Leasing gives you the opportunity to enjoy the latest styling and features, as well as a lower payment in many instances. It is also a great way to determine if the RAV4 is the right choice for you without having to make a long-term commitment.
