Overview & Reviews
For 2015, the Toyota RAV4 is essentially unchanged save for a couple of new options and features. Specifically, there is a new Blizzard Pearl appearance package for the Limited, while the XLE picks up new wheels and the option of a power liftgate. Toyota has also revised the RAV4's frontal structure this year to improve the vehicle's score in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety small-overlap frontal-offset crash test.
- Strikes a good balance between ride comfort and sure-footed handling.
- Roomy interior for people and cargo
- No engine upgrade option
- Usefulness of available Entune smartphone features is diminished by cumbersome setup process.

Good overall transportation - 2015 Toyota RAV4

Reliable, handsome vehicle - 2015 Toyota RAV4
By tom378 - February 12 - 1:32 amI get about 25.5 mpg overall. Gas mileage is up 3 mpg since a moved near the expressway. The cabin is fairly quiet and the ride is decent. Acceleration is adequate. The seats fold down flat for over 73 cf of space. I love the way the sound system reads back texts aloud and the bluetooth is easy to pair and works flawlessly. Braking is excellent even on wet pavement. I have not heard any wind noise. The interior plastic scratches a bit easy, and that is my only gripe. I plan on leasing a new 2018 Rav4 LE come May. That model has all the safety features that are missing from the 2015 Rav4 LE.

Keys are better! - 2015 Toyota RAV4
By Don Pisegna - April 27 - 3:45 pmI like the use of a key to start the car. Good security feature.

Rav 4 - 2015 Toyota RAV4
By Maureen Cervantes - February 17 - 5:03 amThis car is the perfect size for an individual or college student. I kayak and bike and my equipment fits perfectly in this car. I can slide an 8 foot kayak in without any problem. 3 adults took a beach road trip for 2000 miles and we had plenty of room and were very comfortable.

Roomy inside - 2015 Toyota RAV4
By Lorraine Tipton - May 9 - 4:00 amI love having head and leg room. The seat of my Jeep was more comfortable for me than the RAV, but my husband likes it better. I slip a pillow behind me so it feels like heaven. The room is great over our Jeep Liberty. Drove it 2,500 miles the first week and it just floated down the road. We seemed to get about 28 miles to mpg from our calculations. We love RAV4s.

Most reliable crossover on the market - 2015 Toyota RAV4
By MtnGirl - December 21 - 2:07 amThis car is SUPER reliable. I have had zero issues with this vehicle and expect to drive it for many years to come. The quality on the interior certainly leaves a bit to be desired, but after trading in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (w 28k miles), I know better than anyone that all the fancy features and cabin comfort in the world do not make up for a mechanically unreliable vehicle. The Jeep was one problem after another, despite having very low miles. In comparison, the Rav4 has needed nothing since the day I drove it off the lot. If some cheap details in the cabin are the worst thing about this SUV, then you know its a good vehicle. Toyota did not cut corners where it truly counts with this vehicle (i.e. under the hood), except I guess people are upset about the v6 option dissolving. However, the 4 cyl is just fine for me. Do NOT buy this car expecting a luxury ride--buy this car because you want a vehicle that will get you where you need to go no matter what, and will last you 10+ years with minimal problems. Who cares if people think its "boring" to drive? After my Jeep nightmare, I can tell you that it is WAY more boring to sit at a dealership for hours waiting for repairs!! When you start up the Rav you know you will get to your destination no matter what. At the end of the day, thats all I care about. If youre a buyer with similar priorities, youll love the 2015 Rav4

Big dog lover - 2015 Toyota RAV4
By Bill Dorflinger - March 7 - 12:12 amWe have three large dogs and needed more room in the back. Rear seats fold down flat and they have lots of head room. Took out lots of SUVs for test rides and the RAV4 was the most comfortable. Great pick up and handling.
