Not only is the Toyota RAV4 among the best crossover SUVs in its class, but it’s also among the most successful vehicles in the entire automotive industry. For the new model year, Toyota has delivered an all-new version of the RAV4 that picks up a more powerful and efficient engine, as well as a new suite of connectivity options that will change the way owners interact with their new Toyota crossover SUV. A comparison of the 2019 Toyota RAV4 vs. 2019 Subaru Forester reveals just how much ground the completely overhauled Toyota vehicle has made up on its competition. There may have been a time where the Forester outpaced the RAV4, but that is over for the new model year. Customers can schedule a test drive or demonstration of its new technology with a Colonial Toyota product expert today by calling, 203-403-6890.

Paying due respect to the Subaru Forester, it was one of the first vehicles in its class to offer a competent mix of on- and off-road handling characteristics. The 2019 Toyota RAV4 continues to offer most of its trim ladder with one of the industry’s most-respected all-wheel-drive systems. However, for real off-road-ready performance, Colonial Toyota customers will want to inquire about the 2019 RAV4 Adventure. This particular trim is slightly different from the rest of the RAV4 lineup by riding more than an inch higher and also offering a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Both the 2019 RAV4 and 2019 Forester have infotainment systems that are compatible with the Apple CarPlay™ suite, but Toyota goes a step further by expanding connectivity to Amazon Alexa, allowing them to interact with the vehicle from in the house.
