Test Drive the 2017 Toyota RAV4 in Yuma, AZ

When comparing these two crossover SUVs, the first thing that stands out is the difference in their looks. The RAV4 appears to be engineered a bit sportier than the Sportage, with sleeker bodylines and added roof rails for the perfect combination of athleticism and style. The front of the RAV4 is more closed, showcasing a more simple grille compared to the Sportage's open, wide-set grille. In addition to the differences in style, features found on the RAV4 but not on the Sportage include optional running boards, an outside temperature gauge, and voice-activated media controls. Finally, the RAV4 is available in a hybrid model while the Kia Sportage is not.

When it comes to reliability and utility, the RAV4 really shines. An elegant interior featuring available driver and front passenger heated seats and dual zone climate control ensure maximum comfort and reduced noise and vibration helps to avoid driver fatigue. Driver selectable modes let you customize your drive and 60/40 split rear seating allows you 73.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the second-row seats down.
