In the conversation of some of the industry's most impressive compact crossovers, the 2017 RAV4 is without question a centerpiece. That much we here at Town and Country Toyota have known for quite some time.

No doubt the most performance-oriented member of the RAV4 family, the mid-level SE model is a serious stunner.

Standard equipment on this trim includes 18-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, a sport-tuned suspension, keyless ignition and entry, heated front seats, premium vinyl upholstery, steering-wheel-mounted shifter paddles, a blind-spot warning system and rear cross-traffic alert.
