Rav4 Awards and Accolades

The 2021 Rav4 and the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox are two of the most popular sport utility vehicles available near Crystal River, Spring Hill, and Ocala, FL.


Features

On the EPA test cycle, the Rav4 gets better overall fuel milage than the Chevrolet Equinox. A six speed automatic is available for the Equinox and an eight-speed automatic is standard on the Toyota Rav4. The front brake rotors on the Rav4 are slightly larger for better stopping power. The Rav4 suspension has standard front and rear stabilizer bars for better control during cornering. The turning circle for the Rav4 LE/XLE is 1.3 feet tighter than the Equinox (36.1 feet vs. 37.4 feet).

Safety

For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat belts of the Toyota Rav4 have pretensioners and are height-adjustable to eliminate slack and ensure the highest level of safety. The Rav4 has a standard secondary collision brake, which automatically applies brakes in a collision to help prevent against secondary collisions and limit further injury. Some Rav4 trim levels also offer optional rear cross-traffic braking that utilizes rear sensors to brake automatically to prevent a rear collision. The Chevrolet Equinox does not offer a post collision braking system or any backup collision prevention brakes. The Equinox also does not offer height-adjustable front seat belts or pretensioners.

Reliability

J.D Power and Associates’ 2019 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles showed that Toyota vehicles are more reliable than Honda vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Toyota second in reliability, above the industry average. With 7 more problems per 100 vehicles, Chevrolet is ranked 4th.

Warranty

Every new Toyota includes ToyotaCare, a no-cost maintenance plan with 24-hour roadside assistance that covers oil changes, lubrication, and any other required maintenance. Village Toyota, part of the Dimmitt Automotive Group, also provides up to $5000 in benefits during the first year of ownership as part of the Dimmitt Advantage Program. Chevrolet only pays for the first scheduled maintenance visit on the Equinox.
