Best Scenic Drives in the 2025 Toyota RAV4

“Pack your bags—we’re going somewhere!” That’s how my Friday afternoon started. My friend tossed me the keys to her brand-new 2025 Toyota RAV4, and let me tell you, it was game on. Living in Vacaville means you’re surrounded by natural beauty in every direction—and the RAV4? It’s built for it. From winding coastal roads to steep redwood trails, it’s ready to roll. And yes, we found some of the best scenic drives in the 2025 Toyota RAV4, starting right here in Northern California. Sit back and relax as Ammaar’s Toyota Vacaville gives you the lowdown!

1. Sip & Cruise: Napa Valley Wine Tour

It’s less than an hour from Vacaville to wine country. The RAV4’s 10.5-inch touchscreen and built-in navigation made it super easy to bounce between vineyards. We loaded the rear cargo area with bottles of rosé (don’t worry, we used the hands-free power liftgate when our arms were full), plus snacks and picnic blankets. There was even room to spare under the floorboard for souvenirs and a cheese board or two.

2. Splash & Relax: Lake Berryessa Recreation

For a rugged weekend, we headed to Lake Berryessa. With the All-Wheel Drive and Multi-Terrain Select, we had no trouble navigating gravel trails or sandy pull-offs. I easily threw my paddleboard on the back—this RAV4 can tow up to 1,500 lbs., which is more than enough for gear or even a small camper. And after a full day of kayaking? The Qi wireless charger and five USB ports made sure every device came back to life.

3. Fog & Waves: Bodega Bay Coastal Drive

We hit Highway 1 early to avoid the crowd. Sharp turns and fog? No sweat. The Panoramic View Monitor gave us a clear picture of every angle, and the Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 features—like Lane Tracing Assist and Road Sign Assist—helped us stay alert through the misty, twisting roads.

4. Trees & Trails: Armstrong Redwoods Reserve

A dirt path led us deep into a redwood forest. With over eight inches of ground clearance and the multi-link rear suspension, we crawled through uneven terrain without feeling like our bones were shaking loose. The panoramic glass roof above? Let us stare straight up into the canopy while parked. Just, wow.
