The 2016 Toyota RAV4 range of configurations is currently priced from $12,547.
Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The RAV4 GX is excellent Toyota hardware at a bargain price. The four-wheel drive version is pretty handy for mild off-roading, but if you're after an SUV for the road with a bit of clearance for the odd dirt track then two-wheel drive will do the trick.

This is what Laura Berry liked most about this particular version of the Toyota RAV4: Styling., Rear legroom., Low load height.
The 2016 Toyota RAV4 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
I'm guessing you are talking about the sharp cut-off in the headlight beams. Talk to your Toyota dealer about having them adjusted to raise the cut-off.
I am reluctant to recommend any European car, particularly those from VW, because of the problems that have soured the ownership experience for so many people. Rather than those you name I would be looking at the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V or Suzuki Vitara.
You will get great value and a classy car in the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The CR-V also goes well and is slightly better value than a RAV4.
The Toyota RAV4 2016 prices range from $12,980 for the basic trim level SUV GX (2WD) to $26,510 for the top of the range SUV Cruiser (4x4).
