Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is one of the top-selling vehicles in America because of its excellent gas mileage and roomy cabin. Freshly redesigned with all-hybrid powertrains, the latest RAV4 is even more efficient, while remaining spacious and comfortable.

RAV4 vs. the Competition

The new Toyota RAV4 outshines its competitors in several areas. It earns an estimated 48 mpg in the city, which makes it more fuel-efficient than the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, or Hyundai Tucson. The RAV4's new Arene infotainment system is one of the best setups on the market. It can respond to voice or touch, and performs actions more quickly than those offered by the competition. Top-tier RAV four trims have a 12.9-inch touchscreen that's larger than that offered by the CR-V, Rogue, or Tucson.

  • RAV4 Style & Comfort: Although Toyota updated the RAV4 in various areas, its exterior design wasn't dramatically changed. It retains its length but now features a sweeping front fascia and a wider-looking rear. Three design themes - Core, Rugged, and Sport - let you personalize the RAV4 to match your style. Inside, it offers a spacious, ergonomic cabin with a standard 12.3-inch digital cluster and available 12.9-inch infotainment display.

SE trims and above can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Toyota Tacoma

The new Toyota Tacoma is a versatile midsize truck that's capable and maneuverable. Base trims are largely work trucks, but higher models have greater off-road chops or more luxury. Recent updates have made the Tacoma more comfortable to ride in and more technologically advanced.

Tacoma vs. the Competition

The Toyota Tacoma is built to be tough and reliable, which is one reason it offers best-in-class resale value according to Kelley Blue Book.

Toyota Tundra

If you'd prefer a full-size truck, the Toyota Tundra is a terrific choice. This light-duty pickup has potent powertrains and intuitive infotainment technology. It also comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance features for more peace of mind.

It offers a clean design, a user-friendly cabin, available hybrid efficiency, and a technology package that feels modern without becoming distracting. The Honda Civic stands out for its cabin space and available power; the Hyundai Elantra leans harder on bold styling and large available screens; and the Nissan Sentra focuses on comfort and value. The Toyota Corolla distinguishes itself as the more rounded choice, with a strong mix of practicality, easy everyday drivability, available upgraded displays, and a lineup that covers both conventional gas and hybrid needs.

  • Corolla Design & Comfort: The Toyota Corolla has a well-organized cabin layout that California, MD, area drivers prefer, including SofTex-trimmed and heated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and a moonroof. The Civic interior offers leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone climate control, and an available moonroof. The Elantra offers H-Tex-trimmed seats and a power sunroof, and the Sentra offers Zero Gravity seats and quilted upholstery. Cargo space is where the Toyota Corolla gives up a little ground, with 13.1 cubic feet, behind the more than 14 cubic feet in the Civic, Elantra, and Sentra, but the increased comfort of the Toyota makes up for it.
  • Corolla Technology: Standard equipment in the Toyota Corolla includes an 8-inch touchscreen, or a 10.5-inch display on higher trims, with wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. The Hyundai Elantra offers a 10.25-inch display, and the Nissan Sentra has stepped forward in technology, though the Toyota Corolla still does a better job of pairing useful screen upgrades with an interface that feels simple and quick to use.
  • Corolla Performance: Gas-powered Toyota Corolla models produce 169 horsepower, beating the 149-horsepower Nissan Sentra and 147-horsepower Hyundai Elantra. The Honda Civic Hybrid is a bit higher, at 200 horsepower, but the Corolla counters with a more diverse lineup, including gas and hybrid powertrains, and up to 50 combined mpg in hybrid form. That makes the Toyota Corolla one of the most complete compact sedans in this group.

Camry vs. the Competition

The Toyota Camry distinguishes itself among midsize sedan shoppers from Waldorf to Dunkirk, MD, with its power, efficiency, traction, and technology features.
