The 22nd annual Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show will feature more than 15 Toyota vehicles, including the redesigned 2013 RAV4 and 2013 Avalon. 

The 2013 RAV4 has been remodeled by Toyota with improvements in performance efficiency and handling according to a company press release. The RAV4 is the world's first crossover sport utility vehicle and provides owners with a "more dynamic drive and new technologies like a Sport Mode with Dynamic Torque Control AWD.

The 2013 RAV4's design features a silhouette with a sleek sloping roofline according to a company press release. The vehicle's interior has "a premium, sophisticated" look with newly designed driver-centric controls available for the first time by Toyota.

The cargo area is reportedly larger and easier to access than previous models, with just approximately 38.4 cu. ft. of cargo capacity behind the rear seats. With folded rear seats, RAV4 also offers a maximum cargo capacity of 73.3 cu. ft.

The Avalon also features Toyota's Entune multimedia system, which functions through a smart phone interface and brings applications such as Bing, iHeartRadio, MovieTickets.com, and Pandora to the vehicle audio display according to a company press release.

This audio configuration also provides real-time traffic alerts, weather updates, local fuel prices, sports scores, and stock reports.

Standard features for all RAV4 models include Display Audio with a 6.1-inch LCD touchscreen with standard backup camera and Bluetooth connectivity. 

Toyota expects the 2013 Avalon will be a "strong attraction" for those who attend the auto show.
