Introduced in Japan in 1989, the RAV4 didn’t make its way to the U.S. until 1996, and by then, Americans were ready for something a little less cumbersome than the truck-based SUVs offered at the time. Originally offered in 2- and 4-door models, the 4-cylinder RAV4 was efficient, nimble, and perfect for drivers who wanted more from their daily driver without all the bulk.


Like all Toyota vehicles, the RAV4 has undergone a number of exciting changes since its inception, upgrading interior features, adding infotainment, offering a hybrid engine, and even including some of the same advanced driver assist safety technology that used to be reserved for only high-end luxury vehicles. With all it has to offer, its accessible price, and its city-friendly maneuverability, it’s little wonder the Toyota is such a familiar sight in Mt. Holly streets.
