2022 TOYOTA RAV4 TRD OFF ROAD - ULTIMATE IN-DEPTH LOOK & TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road is presented as a capable compact SUV with a focus on utility and a distinct aesthetic. The reviewer highlights the comfortable and visually appealing TRD-specific seats, the practical interior features like the dual-zone climate control and ample storage, and the useful drive modes for various conditions. Positives include the decent fuel economy (averaging 26.7 MPG in testing), stable highway handling, and the above-average all-wheel-drive system for on-road use. However, criticisms are noted regarding the remote start system's functionality (engine shutting off upon door opening), the awkward placement and distortion of the backup camera, the lack of illumination for certain interior controls and charging ports, and the slippery TRD floor mats. While not the fastest or most off-road-capable vehicle, it's deemed a competent and easy-to-drive option for daily use and light-duty adventuring.
