With all the buzz surrounding the recent Los Angeles International Auto Show, it seemed like every automaker was trying to one up the other in order to make headlines. Press releases were pouring out of L.A. but There was one story about the all-new re-designed 2013 Toyota RAV4 that caught our attention.

It would appear that engineers at Toyota have been hard at work improving the design and cramming in more gadgets than a Bond Car. The new RAV4 will be available in three trim levels (LE, XLE and Limited), and here at Heart City Toyota Scion we can't wait to get them on out lot in the early part of next year.

Lets dig a little deeper and see exactly what this pumped up RAV4 is packing.

For starters, the all-new 2013 RAV4 is home to a four-cylinder 2.5 liter engine churning out 176 horsepower. The previous four-speed automatic transmission has been tossed out and replaced with a six-speed sequential shift. Also included, is a new sport mode with Dynamic Torque Control AWD, optimized electric power steering, and a better suspension system.

It only gets better from there. Inside the car, a newly designed steering wheel will feature easy-to-use controls for Bluetooth, Multi-Information Display and the sound system. If you are willing to splurge on the XLE or Limited version then you should get excited for premium bucket seats with sport bolstering, available GPS Navigation and dual-zone automatic climate control with a power moonroof.
