The 2013 Toyota RAV4 is like a tough guy doing the two-step: He gets points for trying, but he might step on your toes with a few clumsy moves. Cars.com reviewer Jennifer Geiger says the RAV4 literally shows its fangs with an imposing body makeover. A more efficient powertrain and a smoother ride are welcome updates to this compact crossover. But so-so interior materials and reduced powertrain and passenger capacity options mean the new RAV4 is a bit less versatile this year.
