Why the RAV4 Makes a Great First Vehicle

2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime| Breinigsville, PA
New RAV4 Inventory Differences Between RAV4 Hybrid & Prime Hours & Directions
If you are shopping for your first vehicle here in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, you probably feel overwhelmed by all of your options. There are so many great vehicles to choose from, so it’s hard to know where to start. We at Krause Toyota want to recommend the Toyota RAV4 or RAV4 Hybrid as the ideal first vehicle for students and young adults. Here are nine reasons why the Toyota RAV4 makes a good first vehicle for young drivers.

Options for Drivers Like You

The latest RAV4 has an array of configurations for your unique personality. Start by choosing from trim levels like the LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. Then, choose your preferred color and accessories. The RAV4 Hybrid adds even more options to the lineup with five trim levels: LE, XLE, XLE Premium, XSE, and Limited. With so many combinations, you can find a RAV4 at Krause Toyota that meets your budget and your lifestyle as a young adult.

Made to be Affordable

As you are just branching out on your own as a young driver or recent college graduate, you want a new vehicle that you can afford without having to spend more than you need to. The RAV4 is affordably priced for drivers in Breinigsville who are saving money to pay off student loans. A brand-new 2021 RAV4 or RAV4 Hybrid have starting MSRPs well under $30,000. A used RAV4 from Krause Toyota is even less than that.

Powertrain Options

A basic RAV4 model is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination is rated at 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. You can choose between the standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive.

The RAV4 Hybrid variant comes with the same engine, plus a pair of electric motors and a fuel-conserving continuously variable transmission. This powertrain has a combined output of 219 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. All RAV4 Hybrid models come standard with AWD, so you have optimal stability in Breinigsville on snowy or rainy streets.

Basic Towing Functions

With the RAV4, you can even hitch a small trailer to move furniture to your new apartment. Depending on which configuration you choose on the RAV4, it can tow up to 1,500 pounds or 3,500 pounds. As for the RAV4 Hybrid, it has a maximum towing capacity of 1,700 pounds.

Save Money with Fuel Efficiency

Perhaps one of the best reasons to choose the RAV4 is for its fuel efficiency. You won’t have to stop to refuel very often and thus will keep more money in your pocket. The standard RAV4 offers an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.* With the RAV4 Hybrid, you can conserve even more fuel with an EPA-estimated 41 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.*

Technology for Your Online Life

You can stay connected with your friends when driving in the RAV4. All RAV4 models come standard with at least a 7-inch touch screen, a USB port, Bluetooth® connectivity, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration — providing all the essentials for today’s young adults. Additional available technology includes Amazon Alexa compatibility, an upgraded 8-inch touch screen, a built-in navigation system, an 11-speaker JBL® audio system, and a wireless charging pad.

Support on the Road

The RAV4 makes it easy to feel safe and secure while you’re still becoming comfortable behind the wheel thanks to its abundant standard safety features. Both the RAV4 and the RAV4 Hybrid come equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 system. This includes features like a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Automatic High Beams — all useful tools for navigating throughout Pennsylvania.

Space for Your Stuff

You can easily load up the RAV4 with your new gaming chair, home office desk, or workout equipment. Behind the rear seats, the RAV4 provides 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space. With the rear seats folded down, the cargo area expands to 69.8 cubic feet. The available hands-free power liftgate makes accessing the cargo area even easier.


If you’re ready to buy your first brand-new vehicle and want the most for your hard-earned money, come to Krause Toyota and check out the Toyota RAV4. We’ll be glad to walk you through the financing process if it’s your first time.
