Introduced in 1994, the Toyota RAV4 was the very first compact crossover on the market, and for years, it has been a popular model in its segment. Incoming 2014 RAV4 models aim to continue the nameplate's legacy and appear mostly unchanged, due to the crossover's redesign in 2013. Slight alterations that have been made for the new year include the addition of Toyota's latest Entune multimedia system, two new standards on XLE models and a brand-new technology package offered on Limited. A fresh exterior paint option, Blue Crush Metallic, has also joined the color palette, sprucing up the RAV's appearance. To learn additional information about the 2014 Toyota RAV4 in Omaha, read our brief summary below; then scroll down for extra details on its amenities.

The latest Toyota RAV4 edition features minor changes to two of its trim levels: the XLE and Limited. The former has now integrated chrome interior door handles and sunvisor extenders to its list of standards, while the latter comes with an all-new technology package, which includes Automatic High Beam, Lane Departure Alert and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. The inclusion of Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a system which alerts drivers when an object appears in their blind spot, means the program is no longer available as a stand-alone option. However, the technology package is sure to be more beneficial to Omaha buyers.

Giving the RAV4 additional technological capabilities is the latest version of Toyota's Entune multimedia system. The highly advanced program, noted in several 2014 Toyota RAV4 reviews, is available through a touchscreen display on the main instrument panel and comes with a state-of-the-art stereo system. Functions accessible with Entune include SiriusXM Satellite Radio, navigation, Bluetooth hands-free calling and Bluetooth music streaming. Complete with smartphone integration, the system also allows drivers to use popular apps such as iHeartRadio, MovieTickets.com and OpenTable.
