Is the Toyota RAV4 All-Wheel Drive?

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 offers all-wheel drive in every trim, and with the high-end Adventure trim, it’s a standard feature. So, if you’re wondering whether all RAV4 models are AWD, the answer is that they can be! However, the particular Toyota all-wheel drive system that comes with your vehicle will vary depending on the trim that you select.

Toyota RAV4 AWD Systems

• RAV4 LE, RAV4 XLE, and RAV4 XLE Premium models can all be equipped with basic All-Wheel Drive (AWD). Even this system improves handling and performance in significant ways, giving you the confidence you’ll need to travel through rain and snow.

• Drivers who opt for the Toyota RAV4 Adventure or Limited trims will be able to enjoy an even more capable Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive System (TV-AWD). This system is distinguished from the other because it can direct up to 50% of power to the rear wheels when needed. A rear driveline disconnect is also standard in these models.

• The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers its own all-wheel drive system–Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive–and this one is standard, too! Unlike the other systems mentioned, it delivers additional power and handling, whenever needed, using the built-in electric motor.
