Toyota RAV4 Interior: –
The interior of this car has realistically distinguishing cabin design. These cabins are big and blocky in shape, assigning the strong psychological ground that SUV drivers are apparently residing. The interior is nicely finished too. The dashboard and the doorsteps are wrapped in stitched padding, and several of the knobs and door pulls have a tangible striped rubber wrap. The aluminium casting effect parts are so transparently fake. There is a front seat, which feels like a homely place to sink into.

Toyota RAV4 Infotainment: –
The infotainment part of the car is from my favourites. But this time it was quite old fashioned. The new RAV4 has an 8-inch touchscreen display LED. When you look at the interior of RAV4, the edges are spontaneous, and the buttons placed on the digital screen very well. There are climatic controls buttons and stereo volume buttons given. These physical features are easy to reach, but you may have to stretch out for operating it. In my honest opinion, the interior of this car looks not so much fascinating for me. I dint liked the old entertainment pattern because nowadays every other SUV has accomplished so much in terms of entertainment. So, this is the only thing which lacks. Whereas the connectivity is given for a various purpose. It has Bluetooth, auxiliary connectivity, USB port, satellite radio, WI-FI hotspot, Android auto, apple car play, amazon Alexa is given. There are eleven speakers given from JBL. The cluster of buttons controls everything like cruise and climate to entertainment, moonroof and a panoramic sunroof.

The New Toyota RAV4 is a very convenient and fuel-saving car, which means it will keep your monthly budget in the limit. The car maintenance charges and everything is very economical and worthy. The rides are smooth and easy, and the mileage is great. The car is manageable on sharp roads, and the safety features are equally defining. The price of this car is 60 lakhs in the showrooms. Genuinely, in my opinion this price is very high for a SUV nowadays, because the other companies like Hyundai, Honda, Maruti have already offered so much in SUV range, with good specifications. And their prices are equally reasonable and budget-friendly. So, the price could be an issue. Overall, this is a nice car for SUV lovers.
Thank you 😊.
