Its the new-shape RAV4 Limited, 2.5L petrol hybrid, AWD and eCVT and whoever originally ordered it clearly went through the accessory catalogue thinking, Yep. Add that too.

Roof racks? Yep.
Towbar? Yep.
Nudge bar? Yep.
Headlight protectors and boot mat? Yep.
Power tailgate? Of course.
Theres even a factory subwoofer hiding in the boot.

Its travelled 93,000km, is in genuinely great condition, and weve just fitted two brand-new tyres, with the other two still very, very good.

But the reason we like this one isn't just the equipment.

This is the sort of car that can genuinely do a bit of everything. Load up the bikes, hook up a trailer, throw the roof box on and disappear for the weekend. Or just use it every day, enjoy the hybrid economy and let the AWD look after things when the weather turns horrible.

And because it's a RAV4, you're not driving something enormous just because you occasionally want to have an adventure.
