This is what makes any Toyota purchase a wise one, but is also part of what can make picking the right Toyota a tricky task—while you can't go wrong, sometimes finding the exact right style can make your head swim. Fortunately, as with all things Toyota, Lexington Toyota is here to help you make a good choice.

Test Drive the 2017 Highlander or RAV4 in Lexington, MA

The biggest differences between the 2017 Highlander and the 2017 RAV4 lie in their different sizes and respective power. The Highlander has seating for up to 8 and a larger engine than the RAV4 as well as a higher towing capacity. The RAV4, on the other hand, has seating for 5 and a towing capacity that's almost a quarter of the Highlander's. As a fair trade, though, the RAV4 does have a higher combined MPG and a lower MSRP—by around $4,000. 

If you tend to have a larger traveling party and have significant towing needs, the 2017 Toyota Highlander is the best fit for you. If you're looking to travel a little lighter and don't need to tow often or at significant weight, the RAV4 is an excellent choice that will save you money with both the MSRP and its fuel economy. In our experience, the best way to know how a car works for you is to get behind the wheel and see what it's got to give you. If our research isn't enough to tip the scales for you, come test drive both vehicles at Lexington Toyota.
