I’ve driven stick-shift cars all my life, but I need to upgrade to a bit of a larger vehicle to accommodate dogs and kids. I like the RAV4, but does it have a manual transmission?
does not have a manual transmission in North America, although it was available as a manual in some other countries. The RAV4 comes with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and a standard eight-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive is also available.
While you may not be saving money on fuel with a manual transmission, the RAV4 has earned itself class-competitive fuel-economy estimates from the EPA, with the FWD model getting up to 35 mpg on the highway and the AWD model getting 32 mpg.
The Toyota RAV4 earns great ratings and is an excellent crossover SUV. But if you’re thinking about buying one, make sure you also have the right car insurance policy to keep it protected. You’ll get the best rates when you shop for car insurance with
