Exterior
The 2009 RAV4 has more aggressive angles on its front fender and hood. The RAV4’s honeycomb grille and fog lights help curb the cuteness found in previous generations. A spoiler provides a clean, sporty look to the rear.
The RAV4 is short and, um, small, and both contribute to its cute factor. Its smaller size made it easy for my kids to get in and out of, but smaller children might need some help climbing into this SUV.
The tailgate opens to the side, and while that bugs some folks, I found it easy to use. I was able to load my groceries into the cargo area without any problems.
The spare tire is stored on the outside of the tailgate, which was a look my husband didn’t care for. The cargo floor was really low, which would make it easier to heft a double stroller in and out of the cargo area.
