The Toyota Rav4 offers two driving modes, Eco Mode and Normal Mode, each with its own set of characteristics and benefits.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Eco Mode, the vehicle is optimized for fuel efficiency, adjusting settings such as throttle response and air conditioning to help maximize fuel economy. This mode is ideal for city driving and longer trips where saving on fuel consumption is a priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Normal Mode provides a balanced driving experience, offering a combination of performance and efficiency. It delivers a more responsive acceleration and a slightly sportier feel compared to Eco Mode. Whether you choose Eco or Normal mode, the Rav4 provides a versatile driving experience to suit different needs and preferences. So, let&#8217;s dive deeper into the differences between these two modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white
