2024 Toyota RAV4 Bucks 2024 Ford Bronco Sport

Do you know which vehicle follows immediately after the half-ton pickup trucks at the top of Car and Driver’s list of best-selling vehicles in the United States in 2023? It’s the compact Toyota SUV that’s nipping at the heels of the sales volume of the Ram pickup if that helps your guess.

The Treasure Coast Toyota team is excited to say (and this is no surprise to us as we sell them daily) it’s the impressive Toyota RAV4!

The 2024 RAV4 compact SUV combines bold looks, standard safety equipment, fantastic fuel mileage, 13 unique grades to choose from, comfort for up to 5 passengers, Toyota’s well-known reliability, and plenty more to bring a fantastic option to families shopping for an SUV near the Treasure Coast of Florida.

Do you know which vehicle isn’t in the top 10, or even the top 25? The Ford Bronco Sport. The one that gets confused with its bigger sibling the Bronco. We know you may be considering one for your family, and we’ve compared the two vehicles to help you end up behind the wheel of a RAV4. That’s the Toyota compact SUV, which is the country’s best-selling mid-size SUV.

Come see us at our Stuart, Florida Toyota dealership to experience the Toyota RAV4 yourself before making any rash decisions.

RAV4 is the Gas Mileage Champion

Fuel efficiency isn’t the only factor Florida SUV shoppers consider as they shop for the best midsize SUV for their family, but the price at the pump certainly keeps it a prime topic for many shoppers.  The RAV4 offers one engine across the lineup (excluding the RAV4 Hybrids for a moment) with a capable 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The fuel efficiency of the RAV4 varies based on trim level and whether you add the optional AWD system, and the estimated fuel economy breaks down like this:

The RAV4 Hybrid is the choice if you’re looking for the capability of a Toyota compact SUV while dodging the fuel pump for longer between fill ups. The 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has a simpler breakdown of fuel mileage estimates:

• 41 City / 38 Highway /40 Combined in LE, XLE/XLE Premium, Limited, SE, and XSE trim levels
• 38 City /35 Highway /37 Combined in the Woodland Edition trim level

The 2024 RAV4 Prime steps things up even further in the fuel efficiency game, with a large battery producing as much as 42 miles of pure electric driving.

• The 2024 RAV4 Prime is also estimated at 40 City / 36 Highway / 38 MPG

This Toyota Plug-In Hybrid vehicle is a fantastic option for shoppers considering a fuel-efficient compact SUV.

The 2024 Ford Bronco can be equipped with 2 turbocharged engines (1.5L and 2.0L) but both can only be paired with the standard 4×4 system. The Bronco Sport doesn’t seem designed to appeal to efficiency-minded customers and offers these estimated fuel consumption ratings:

• 5L EcoBoost engine: 25 City / 29 Highway / 26 Combined MPG
• 0L EcoBoost engine: 21 City / 26 Highway / 23 Combined MPG

There’s a night and day difference in terms of fuel mileage when we compare the RAV4 lineup against the Ford Bronco Sport, especially when we add the RAV4 Hybrid and Prime models to the discussion.

RAV4 Standard Safety Features Puts it with the Safest SUVs

The 2024 RAV4 compact SUV features Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 as standard equipment, and the 2023 model earned a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. (The Ford Bronco Sport didn’t earn this award for the 2023 model year.)

The 2024 RAV4 compact SUV offers plenty of assistance to keep you safe on the roads of Florida with this standard equipment:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection which helps detect a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist and help avoid a collision
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is adaptive cruise control for speeds above 20 MPH
• Automatic High Beams help you and oncoming vehicles see better at night
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist will keep you between the clearly marked lanes when traveling above 32 MPH
• Lane Tracing Assist works with DRCC and detectable roadway lane markers to keep your RAV4 centered in its lane
• Road Sign Assist detects speed limit signs and other useful road guidance signs

Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 includes many incredible features, but the 2024 RAV4 has a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) as an optional safety-enhancing feature.

The Bronco Sport can be equipped with similar safety features, but not all we listed above, and you’ll need to add the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ system to access the Ford adaptive cruise control system. That’s an extra package to add to a vehicle that already has a higher starting price point than the RAV4.

The RAV4 has an available torque vectoring all-wheel drive system, which offers safety and off-road advantages at the cost of a decrease in fuel efficiency. The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is only available with a 4×4 system that drops its fuel mileage well below that of the fantastic RAV4.

The Treasure Coast Toyota team is happy to show you all the safety advantages the RAV4 offers, so come see us at our Toyota showroom here in Stuart, Florida.
