2018 Toyota RAV4 Engine Options, Fuel Economy and Driving Range

The holiday season is definitely in full swing. With all of the holiday movies playing on TV, we were excited to watch Home Alone 2: Lost in New York the other day. This movie (along with the first one) is a classic and we always experience some hometown pride when we see that the McCallisters are planning to spend the holidays in Miami. If you are doing a reverse of the McCallister family’s travel plans (while making sure not to forget anyone) and going to Chicago for the holidays this year, you know that flying is incredibly expensive – especially if you have a spouse and two children to travel with.
Here at Headquarter Toyota, we have the perfect solution for you: the 2018 Toyota RAV4. This compact crossover is a favorite choice for our customers because it is incredibly spacious for five passengers with lots of room for cargo, and it is extremely efficient.
