2017 Toyota RAV4 AWD Hybrid Estate

Description

I’ve had this RAV4 for a few years now — it’s been my go-to for everything from weekend drives to hauling gear around the countryside. It’s a 2017 model, AWD, 2.5L hybrid, Eclipse Black, and honestly, it’s been a solid workhorse.

The all-wheel drive handles everything — snow, mud, or just a bumpy country road — without breaking a sweat. The hybrid engine runs quietly, doesn’t overheat, and gets decent mileage even on long trips. I’ve never had to worry about fuel costs much, which is a real plus.

Inside, it’s roomy. The back seats can take a couple of kids or a big suitcase, and the boot’s big enough for camping stuff or a full load of groceries. The dashboard is a bit of a throwback with the Alcantara trim, but it’s still clean and well-maintained. I use the sat-nav all the time — super easy to use — and the reversing camera helps when parking in tight spots.

Safety’s a big deal for me, so the Safety Sense package is a real comfort: adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, pre-crash detection. I’ve never had to rely on it much, but it gives me peace of mind when I’m driving in heavy traffic or on winding roads.

It’s been through a full 145-point inspection, has a complete service history, and I’ve kept it well-maintained with regular servicing. Toyota’s warranty still kicks in as long as I keep it serviced properly — that’s a real plus.

I bought it new from Vertu Toyota in Rotherham, and it’s been stored and looked after ever since. It’s not flashy, but it does what it’s meant to — it’s reliable, quiet, and gets me where I need to go without fuss.

It’s sitting in my garage in Llanfyllin, Powys, and I’m thinking of selling it to someone who’ll appreciate how it’s actually been used — not just the specs.

Price is £11,725.20, but I’ll be honest — I’m not looking to sell it just for the money. I’m just trying to find someone who’ll take it on a proper journey. If you’re into practical, reliable SUVs that don’t scream for attention, this one might be your kind of car.

Let me know if you’re interested — I’d love to chat.
