The 2022 Toyota RAV4 is known in Manchester, and around Amherst and Derry, NH, for being spacious and full of impressive features. However, it’s also known for having great capability both on- and off-road. Don’t believe us? Just look at the vehicle’s name.
RAV4 stands for Recreational Active Vehicle with 4WD. The RAV4 was built for adventure, regardless if that adventure is singing your favorite songs on the way to work, or traveling to Cape Ann Campsite for a weekend of New England coastal camping.
No matter where your adventures take you, you need plenty of space between your vehicle and the road, which is why we care about ground clearance.
We’ll tell you a bit about this automobile’s abilities in our guide to the Toyota RAV4 ground clearance. Discover what this compact SUV has to offer, then contact us at Ira Toyota of Manchester if you have any questions.
The 2022 Toyota RAV4 clearance does vary by trim level. Here’s how it varies:
|
Toyota RAV4 Ground Clearance by Trim Level |
|
|
Trim Level |
Ground Clearance |
|
LE, XLE |
8.4 inches |
|
XLE Premium, Adventure, TRD Off-Road, Limited |
8.6 inches |
No matter which ride height you have, you’ll have a better view of what’s around you, which can especially help with your off-roading adventures.
You can also take on any type of terrain with the available Multi-terrain Select system. There are four modes to choose from, including MUD & SAND and ROCK & DIRT. With just the push of a button, you’ll get the grip you need for various environments.
Furthermore, you’ll get more capability when your RAV4 is equipped with the additional drive modes with select trim levels. With the available Downhill Assist Control system, your SUV will work overtime to ensure your wheels are grippy while traveling down steep paths.
Then there’s the 2022 RAV4 Hybrid, which has a ground clearance of 8.1 inches—8.2 inches on the Prime XSE. As a result, even some of the hilliest terrain is no match for this SUV.
Plus, with the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive system, you can drive around with confidence, no matter the time of year. That’s because it uses the electric motor to deliver instant torque to the rear wheels whenever you need more traction.
Not only can you take on any road surface, but you can also drive farther for longer. This is due to the hybrid model achieving an EPA-estimated 41 city/38 highway MPG.1 The Plug-In Hybrid options—Prime SE and Prime XSE—offer an EPA-estimated 40 city/36 highway.1
This vehicle also includes a comprehensive energy monitor. This energy monitor shows you how these features are operating:
As you drive, you’ll get real-time information on how power is being used, and how the battery is being charged. You’ll then see all this information on the 4.2-inch digital Multi-Information Display—which can be upgraded to a full seven inches on higher trims.
When you’re looking to adventure into the great unknown, you need to look at more than the ground clearance of your SUV. While this measurement means you can cruise over some path obstacles—like many rocks and stray tree branches—with ease, you also need to look at the overall measurements of the SUV.
Having a vehicle that’s long enough to accommodate your travel companions while also being small enough to bob and weave through the natural world is essential. Thankfully, the RAV4 and its compact body style, makes for a sweet spot in length.

The RAV4 comes standard with 17-inch wheels in either a standard 6-spoke option or available 5-spoke option. If you’re looking for a little extra height, 18-inch and 19-inch wheels are also available. Although, if you’re planning on doing some serious off-roading, the optional 18-inch TRD wheels are just what you need.
These wheels are wrapped in a Falken® WILDPEAK A/T Trail for extra sturdy off-roading support while also making the perfect everyday wheel option.
We know that the size of the 2022 Toyota RAV4 leaves plenty of room for your buddies to join you on your commute, but how much room is offered inside the RAV4? Let’s take a look!

Thanks to its 98.9-cubic-foot passenger volume, there’s more than enough space for up to five passengers to stretch out comfortably. Plus, with 37.6 cubic feet of cargo space, there’s still enough room to bring a cooler of snacks along for the ride.
It’s unlikely that you’ll always have the same travel needs. Some days you’ll be with your friends, and other times you’ll adventure alone. For those times you need extra cargo space for camping trips, fold down the rear seats of the 60/40 split fold-flat seats to obtain a maximum capacity of 69.8 cubic feet.
While the cabin of your SUV is already plenty large, the optional panoramic glass roof will give your cabin a larger-than-life feel. Featuring unobstructed views of the sky for both front- and rear-seat passengers, your cabin will feel like it extends beyond the clouds.
In addition to having a noteworthy ground clearance, the Toyota RAV4 has respectable handling and ride quality—making it a great everyday driver.
The vehicle comes with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Plus, it achieves an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG, so you can enjoy the open road for longer.1
If you’re interested in customizing your driving experience, then take advantage of the several driver-selectable modes:
Furthermore, similar to the hybrid, the RAV4 is available in all-wheel drive (AWD). The Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system will continually monitor and distribute torque among the front and rear wheels to deliver maximum traction.
So, no matter what the weather’s like outside, you’ll be able to face it head-on.
No matter which trim you get, the Toyota RAV4 ground clearance will help you out on your excursions in Manchester, and around Amherst and Derry, New Hampshire.
