The RAV4 will have some new competition soon, however, in the form of an all-new Chevy Equinox (replacing the Tracker) and a completely new Hyundai Tucson compact SUV. With this segment being so hot right now, I'm sure new entries will constantly be arriving to take on the RAV.

Setting the Chili apart from other RAV4 models are its standard hood scoop coupled with a sport style grille, and special edition decals stuck to every body panel. Not to mention the color-keyed bumpers, mirrors, body side moldings, fender flares and door handles, plus the addition of a power moonroof. Inside, there are even unique Special Edition floor mats on the driver and front passenger sides.

Chili Edition standard convenient features include air conditioning, cruise control, power windows with driver side auto down, roof rack (great for weekend excursions to Whistler with my snowboarding gear), front and rear splash guards, a soft tire cover, power tailgate lock, and power remote control heated mirrors.
But the features don't stop there. Standard on all RAV4s are high-quality fabric seats (extremely comfortable in both front and rear), tilt steering, power door locks and windows, dual trip odometer, illuminated entry, digital clock, and cupholders.
