The turning circle compared to other Toyota models
Of course, understanding the RAV4's turning circle prowess requires a comparison to other Toyota models. The RAV4's 11.00 m turning circle overshadowed by a significant margin by the tiny Toyota Aygo X's 9.4 m. It also divulges negligible or mild differences when juxtaposed with the likes of the Toyota Corolla (10.2 m), Toyota C-HR (10.4 m), or the Toyota Yaris (10.4 m). On the other hand, it outshines some larger Toyota models like the Toyota Highlander (12.4 m), Toyota Hilux (12.6 m), and Toyota Mirai (12.6 m).

How does the turning circle of the Toyota RAV4 compare to it's nearest competitors?
But the real test comes when the RAV4 squares up against its nearest competitors in the crossover SUV arena. With a remarkable similarity to the RAV4, the Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage share the same 11.00 m turning circle. It also stands toe-to-toe with the more expensive BMW X1 (11.4 m) and the luxurious Mercedes-Benz GLA (11.8 m). The RAV4 edges out rivals like the Citroen C5 Aircross (10.7 m), Peugeot 3008 (10.7 m), Mazda CX-30 (10.6 m), and KIA XCeed (10.6 m) in terms of turning circle size. However, it does concede a few points to the substantially longer Nissan X-Trail (11.2 m).
