The 1996 Toyota Rav4 introduced a relatively new concept: all of the height, none of the bulk, way more style than similar vehicles.
The 1996 Rav4 was fairly cutting edge for its time. It had the luxuries of a car such as cup holders and easy in-and-out (although it still sits higher than the Explorer), with the more rugged feel of an SUV and the price of a small- to mid-size sedan.
The four-wheel drive system is run on a 120-horsepower, 4I engine. It takes a full 10 seconds to get up to 60, yet has the accompanying fuel efficiency (about 21/25 city/highway).
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1996 Toyota RAV4 appreciate its stylish appearance and compact size, making it well-suited for activities like beach driving and towing small loads. Many find it comfortable and fun to drive, particularly in snowy conditions. However, some drivers mention issues with the transmission and suspension, along with road noise at higher speeds. Fuel efficiency is sometimes a concern, especially for those who drive longer distances."
This is an awesome vehicle that works really well for me to work out of as I do maintenance and repair work. I love that the back door opens out that way I have extra head room when working out of the back. It will go anywhere and it is super reliable.
January 21, 2013IMO this car essential started off the whole SUV thing. I still remember the huge shock when this car debut... it looks funky, different and interesting. They market it as a leisure fashionable off-roader with on road capability and a high driving position.... whatever that is, it seems to be very successful at the time.

February 5, 2008i dont mind the rav4 its very chic to get around in and its the perfect size for beach driving and towing small boats, jetskis or box trailer and stereo surround is great but transmission slow and suspension lousy.
June 20, 2007I love the look of this car. Looks small from the outside but once you are in its there is plenty of space. Its handy with the cup holders near by, Its comfortable to drive. My son loves the car as its easy for him to view the other cars and scenery outside. I have only had it in the garage a few times cambelt was one job, but nothing major. I do feel safe in this car and its really fun to drive. It does seem to go through the petrol.
