If you are looking for a new vehicle that is versatile, spacious and offers a wide range of innovative features, Toyota has plenty of vehicles to choose from. And this year, Toyota's compact SUV and crossover lineup are more impressive than ever. Each one offers its own set of unique features and provides a wide range of high-tech equipment. Here is a look at Toyota's new and exciting 2022 compact SUV lineup.
Impressive Standard Features:
The Toyota Venza was introduced to the world last year and was instantly loved by anyone who was looking for a fuel-efficient and stylish vehicle.
The Venza has a stunning and unique exterior design that is highlighted by bright LED headlights and bold LED tail lights. The exterior is elegantly sculpted and features sleek lines and subtle curves. The body also features a compact design that not only offers a sporty style but also provides a fun and agile driving experience.
Under the hood is a powerful and efficient hybrid engine. All models come with a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine that works with three electric motors to deliver up to 219 horsepower. The innovative powertrain also offers impressive fuel consumption ratings and gets an estimated 6.1 L/100km combined.
Impressive Standard Features:
The CH-R has a head-turning exterior design. At first glance, the vehicle looks like a three-door hatchback. But upon closer inspection, you will find that there are, in fact, two rear doors that have their door handles positioned near the roof which makes them look almost invisible.
The CH-R also has a comfortable and stylish interior that comes with a wide range of high-end features. It also comes with several standard safety features including 10 airbags, lane tracing assist, lane alert with steering assist, and automatic high beams.
The CH-R is not offered as a hybrid, but it still comes standard with a fast and efficient engine. The 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine is able to deliver 144 horsepower and gets an estimated 7.5 L/100km, which means that you won't have to make frequent stops at the pumps.
Impressive Standard Features:
The all-new Corolla Cross is slightly wider, taller, and longer than the CR-H. The interior is both spacious and comfortable and offers a large rear cargo area that can hold several bags of luggage or other cargo. Sitting proud and tall on top of the dashboard is a large touchscreen display that comes standard with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
All Corolla Cross models come standard with a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine that is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and provides 169 horsepower. The Cross comes standard with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel-drive is available and features a wishbone rear suspension.
Impressive Standard Features:
The 2022 Rav4 perfectly combines sportiness and versatility with elegance and class. There are several trim levels available to help fit a wide range of needs. Whether you are looking for a sporty and adventurous SUV, like the TRD Offroad model offers, or you want a more fuel-efficient vehicle, like the Rav4 Hybrid, there is a Rav4 model that is perfect for you.
The Rav4 comes standard with a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine that delivers up to 203 horsepower. This powertrain option is both impressive and efficient, but if you are looking for something a little more efficient, the Rav4 Hybrid may be the best choice for you. It pairs two electric motors with the 2.5-litre engine and is able to deliver a combined 219 horsepower. The hybrid powertrain utilizes the smooth-shifting CVT to make it even more efficient.
Impressive Standard Features:
The Highlander is the largest and most spacious SUV on this list. Even though it has the longest and tallest body, it is not bulky or boxy by any means. Instead, it has a sleek and athletic appearance. Inside the Highlander is a spacious and luxurious interior. The cabin comes standard with seating for eight people, but you can opt for the available captain chairs in the second row, which provides seating for seven people.
Under the hood, there is a powerful 3.5-litre V6 engine that is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and delivers 295 horsepower. There is also an available hybrid powertrain that pairs a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine with two electric motors and produces a combined 245 horsepower.
The Highlander also comes standard with the Safety Sense 2.5+ system which comes with a wide range of driver-assist features including automatic high beams, front-to-front risk protection, lane departure alert, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian and bicycle detection.
