Fun Facts about the 2016 RAV4

Apr 22, 2016

The Toyota RAV4 is one of the most popular SUVs of all time. Over its history, the RAV4 has offered a number of unique features and special options, but none is as much fun or as useful as many found in the 2016 version.

Unique Key

Your key is very unique, but if you happen to lock your keys in the car, your dealer can make an inexpensive copy. This copy can then be used to open the doors so that you can retrieve your keys. However, you cannot use this key to start the car, you must have the original key or an exact replacement.

Low Battery No Worries

Your key fob is battery powered and can be used to lock/unlock the doors and start your RAV4. If the batteries die, you may have to use the physical key to open the doors, but you can hold the key to the start button for eight to ten seconds and it will still let you start your vehicle.

Looking Back

The 2016 RAV4 comes with a very unique frameless rearview mirror. Not only does this mirror feature auto-dimming but it also has three fully programmable home links that can be set to open three completely different devices such as garage door opener or turning on your house lights.

Only Hybrid in Class

The RAV4 is the only hybrid in its class since Ford stopped production of the Escape hybrid in 2011. The RAV4 is powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors connected to the front and rear axles.
