Far and away one of the very best offerings throughout the ever-burgeoning compact SUV segment, the Toyota RAV4 is, in many ways, a living testament to the brilliant work of our beloved Japanese brand.

And if you suspect that we at Laurel Toyota are just blowing smoke, we suggest you scope the clip below. It just so happens that our pals at MotorWeek are here to supplant our claim with cold, hard facts:

If performance is your number one priority, the RAV4's penultimate model, the SE, has got you covered.

Standard equipment on this trim includes a sport-tuned suspension, distinctive exterior styling, 18-inch wheels, full LED exterior lighting, keyless ignition and entry, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat (with power lumbar), synthetic leather upholstery, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a blind-spot warning system and rear cross-traffic alert. Smart and stylish, the SE is one standout SUV.

If you'd like to meet this marvelous machine "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Johnstown, PA location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the RAV4, or any other Toyota model that might be on your must-see list.
