2010 Toyota RAV4 Fuel Economy: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
suburban 24 mpg, highway 28 mpg
2010 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Good for a vehicle its size. Similar to my 4cyl Acura in actual driving.
2010 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
I think the published mileage is above average for the market space (small SUV with V6).
2010 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD
For an AWD V6 SUV fuel economy is very good and only uses 1 mpg more than the 4cyl model, while providing considerably more power.
