Toyota Rav 4 vs The Competition

How does our new Toyota RAV4 compare to rivals like the Kia Sportage, Subaru Forester, and Nissan Rogue?
As a new Toyota dealer serving the greater Memphis, TN area, we're proud to curate a portfolio that runs the gamut from dynamic new Toyota pickup trucks to stellar Toyota sedans. But one of the best reasons to drop into our Memphis, TN dealership these days is the new Toyota RAV4.
The Toyota RAV4 is a small crossover with big-time versatility and daily driving potential. Whether you need something for commuting to and from the greater Memphis, TN area for work or something that can help you explore the backcountry of Tennessee and enjoy the great outdoors, the new Toyota RAV4 is singularly well-equipped to serve a wide variety of Tennessee drivers' needs.
Of course, like many of our latest Toyota models, the Toyota RAV4 has some stiff competition from rivals like Kia, Subaru, and even Nissan. However, when you closely compare the new Toyota RAV4 to its competitors, we think you'll find that it's altogether a better value proposition. Feel free to check out our competitive comparisons below or drop into our showroom here in Memphis, TN to take this formidable new crossover for a test drive today.

Toyota RAV4 vs. Kia Sportage
- Off-Road Capability: When properly equipped in the new Toyota RAV4 Adventure or Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road trims, the Toyota RAV4 boasts everything from rugged all-terrain tires to an off-road tuned suspension. And while the new Kia Sportage X-Pro may boast available all-terrain tires, it lacks the suspension tuning necessary to make it capable as a true off-road crossover.
- Standard Horsepower: With the new Toyota RAV4, you'll hold the reins of up to 203 horsepower on demand. Opt for the new Kia Sportage and you'll have to make do with just 187 horsepower, leaving it lagging behind the faster Toyota RAV4 when it comes to getting up to speed on highways like I-240.
- Connectivity: The Toyota RAV4 comes standard with an available Wi-Fi hotspot onboard. The new Kia Sportage doesn't offer such a Wi-Fi hotspot standard on its equipment list.
Toyota RAV4 vs. Subaru Forester
- Luggage Space: The New Toyota RAV4 boasts up to 37.6 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its second row, which is plenty for everything from groceries to outdoor gear. By comparison, the new Subaru Forester is considerably more cramped with 29 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its second row.
- Hybrid Availability: With the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Toyota RAV4 Prime Plug-in Hybrid to complement the conventionally powered Toyota RAV4, this small Toyota crossover is innately versatile. As for the Subaru Forester, a standard combustion engine is the only thing it has to offer, so you won't find hybrid electric powertrains in its trim portfolio.
- Audio Excellence: Whether you love listening to podcasts, audiobooks, or streaming music on the go, you'll continually be impressed by the available 11-speaker JBLĀ® premium sound system on the new Toyota RAV4. Even the premium Harman Kardon system equipped to the Subaru Forester pales in comparison to the onboard audio quality that the new Toyota RAV4 brings to the table.
