Toyota RAV4 is available as two models: 2WD ($16,525) and 4WD ($18,975). Various options and option packages allow you to tailor your RAV4 to your personal taste.
All RAV4s have four doors. There is only one engine, which was new for 2001: an all-aluminum, 16-valve, dohc inline four-cylinder with variable valve timing, displacing 2.0 liters and producing 148 horsepower. A five-speed manual is standard. A four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission is available for the 2WD ($17,575); and 4WD ($18,975) models.
RAV4 sounds cheap, but options can add up. Air conditioning is not standard ($900). Other options: antilock brakes ($300); roof rack ($220); alloy wheels with slightly wider tires ($895); remote keyless entry ($230); leather ($840); limited-slip differential ($390) rear spoiler ($200); power moonroof ($900). The L package ($2,153) includes air conditioning, cruise control, a premium CD sound system, tinted windows, fog lamps, color-keyed body trim, and a hard spare tire cover. Quick Order Package ($1,433) adds air conditioning, a CD audio system, cruise control, power windows, locks and mirrors and carpeted floor mats.
