Toyota RAV4 is an outstanding crossover SUV with great fuel economy, a smooth ride, spacious interior, good-looking exterior design, and good cargo space. It is has great utility, but lacks the comfort, performance, and luxury of the NX 300. Unfortunately, there is also no upgrade to an underwhelming engine that doesn't have great acceleration and is loud at high RPMs. Overall, this is a great SUV and with improved gas mileage as a key selling point, the RAV4 is poised to do well.Â
