Car Profiles - Toyota RAV4

TOYOTA RAV4

Continuing on its 4th generation, the RAV4 embodies the traits which made it a success: roomy interior space, ground clearance similar to an SUV, and drives like a car. Although already priced at the upper scale, it is still one of a good choice in the field.

The Good: Spacious interior and handles well
The Bad: Very pricey

Price Range: P1,367,000-P1,983,000
