How Multi-Terrain Select and TV-AWD Build Confidence in the 2025 RAV4 for Goshen, IN Weekends

Heart City Toyota - How Multi-Terrain Select and TV-AWD Build Confidence in the 2025 RAV4 for Goshen, IN Weekends

If your weekend plans range from trailheads to tailgates, the 2025 RAV4 offers two standout systems that boost confidence when the pavement ends or the weather turns: available Multi-Terrain Select and available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive. Together, they transform a capable compact SUV into a versatile companion that thrives when conditions change—like a wet morning drive to the farmers market followed by a rutted gravel road out to your favorite lake. Multi-Terrain Select tailors throttle, shift mapping, and traction control for Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, Snow, and Normal modes, helping the RAV4 optimize available grip and maintain steady progress. Paired with a robust suspension and up to 8.6 inches of ground clearance, the system works with the vehicle instead of fighting it, offering the kind of composed control that makes weekend detours feel more accessible.

Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD, available on select trims, brings another layer of assurance. By actively distributing engine power not only between front and rear axles but also between the left and right rear wheels, it helps the RAV4 rotate more confidently through slippery corners and maintain traction when surfaces are inconsistent. On rain-slicked curves or packed snow, that added control can make a commute feel calmer and country roads less demanding. It is also seamless—you do not have to think about it, because the system is constantly assessing wheel slip and directing torque where it is needed most. Meanwhile, the selectable Drive Modes—Sport, Eco, and Normal—let you tune responses to match the moment, so you can enjoy responsive acceleration when merging or a relaxed, efficient vibe around town.

• Multi-Terrain Select modes: Tailored traction strategies for mud, sand, rocks, dirt, snow, and daily driving.
• Dynamic control: Available TV-AWD vectors torque to individual rear wheels for added grip and agility.
• Everyday readiness: Ground clearance and suspension tuning balance comfort with capability.
• Intuitive tech: Drive Modes and available digital displays keep key info front and center.

Inside, the cabin supports those active days with intuitive technology and thoughtful comfort. The available 10.5-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia display presents navigation and media clearly, and an available 12.3-in. digital gauge cluster serves up vehicle data at a glance. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility on select grades help you keep maps and music at the ready, and the available JBL Premium Audio system brings extra energy to road-trip playlists. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 brings driver-assistance features designed for confidence, while available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert helps with lane changes and backing out of tight spaces after a busy Saturday downtown.

For drivers who want one SUV that feels at home both on Jefferson Street and on gravel tracks by the river, this combination of Multi-Terrain Select and available TV-AWD makes the 2025 model a compelling pick. It shows its strengths when conditions change—exactly what many Northern Indiana drivers face between seasons. Heart City Toyota, serving Mishawaka, Goshen, and Warsaw, can walk you through which trims offer each system and how to match them to your routine, from weekday errands to pack-the-cargo-area weekend escapes. With the right setup, the RAV4 becomes more than a commuter—it becomes your all-weather, every-plan partner.
