Toyota RAV4 Estate boot space, practicality and safety

1994 - 2000 (change model)
Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019

Driver and passenger airbags are standard, while ABS brakes are installed from the GX model upwards. There are also front seat belt pretensioners and force limiters making the RAV-4 one of the safest 4x4s. Gets an engine immobiliser and anti-theft alarm, plus a locking wheel nut fitted to the spare.

The boot is big, especially with the rear seats folded, but the sill is very high. Decent-sized glovebox, but few other storage areas.
