Could the 2019 Toyota RAV4 be the most important car of the New York International Auto Show this year? A heavy responsibility resting on the shoulders of Toyota’s best-selling small SUV, but something that the car – now in its fifth generation – is probably up to handling. It’s the most in-demand model in the automaker’s line-up, after all.For the 2019 model year, Toyota switches to the TNGA K platform, which comes with a number of benefits. For a start it gives the small SUV a bigger-than-the-sheet-metal appearance, with a longer wheelbase and wider front and rear tracks. However, at just shy of 181-inches long overall, it’s actually a little shorter than the outgoing 2018 RAV4. It’s also slightly wider, and slightly lower.Shorter front and rear overhangs add up to better performance off-road, and there’s over half an inch more ground clearance, should the RAV4 ever make it there. Road and mud use should benefit from the 57-percent increase in chassis rigidity, though, and new multi-link rear suspension. Forward visibility has been improved by lowering the side mirrors on the doors; the belt line has been lowered as well, along with bigger rear-quarter glass windows.Toyota will have a number of configurations of the new SUV. There’s the 2019 RAV4 Adventure, which has standard high-rise roof rails and beefier over-fenders, together with a more aggressive grille, fog lamp surrounds, and new wheels. Like all AWD gas RAV4 models, it has Multi-Terrain Select with settings for snow, mud, sand, and rocks. Toyota is offering a contrast roof option, too, and optional orange interior trim. The 2019 RAV4 Limited, meanwhile, gets 19-inch alloy wheels and chrome accents on the exterior to give it a more upscale look. It gets a digital rearview mirror inside, along with a 7-inch Multi-Information Display, moonroof, and power-adjusted driver’s seat. Ventilated and heated seats are options, as is a panoramic moonroof and a hands-free power liftgate. The 2019 RAV4 XSE Hybrid, finally, gets a two-tone exterior with a contrast roof. Inside, there’s Softex fabric seats with blue highlights. Every RAV4 gets Toyota’s latest Entune 3.0 infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa integration, and 4G LTE WiFi hotspot support on Verizon’s network. As standard it has a 7-inch touchscreen; an 8-inch touchscreen is an option on Entune 3.0 Audio Plus.
