The RAV4 is Toyota’s sporty compact SUV that was introduced in Japan in 1994 and arrived in the U.S. in January 1996. The second-generation RAV4 debuted for the 2001 model year.
The latest RAV4 has grown significantly, with a nearly three-inch longer wheelbase and more dynamic, less truck-like styling. At launch in Europe, it will have 2.2-liter diesel and 2.0-liter gasoline engines, but expect the U.S. version to have the 2.0-liter four and an available V-6, along with a longer wheelbase and available seven-passenger seating. The vehicle features Toyota's high-tech integrated Active Drive System in which stability control, all-wheel drive, and electric power steering are combined to ensure that even the most ham-fisted cannot fall off the road. In keeping with the safety theme, the RAV4 will be available with no fewer than seven air bags, including a driver's knee air bag. Inside, the most notable feature is one-touch folding rear seats.
The Toyota RAV4 was one of the models that kicked off the mini-SUV or "cute ute" segment when it launched in 1994. The RAV4 shed a bit of its "mini" image when it was redesigned in 2006, the new version offering both a third-row bench seat that expanded seating to 7 and an optional V-6 engine—both firsts for the RAV4. Despite its larger size, the RAV4 is still the entry-level offering in Toyota's SUV/CUV lineup, sized and priced just below the Highlander. It is available in standard, Sport, and Limited models.
The new RAV4 offers buyers a 166-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine or a surprisingly large 269-hp 3.5-liter V-6. Both engines are available exclusively with an automatic transmission—a 4-speed for the 4-cylinder and a 5-speed for the V-6—and with either front- or all-wheel drive. The 4-wheel-drive (4WD) system automatically shifts power to the rear wheels as needed to maintain traction. The RAV4 doesn’t have a low-range transfer case, but it can be locked into 4WD mode at speeds under 25 MPH. Other off-road features include Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), which prevents the RAV4 from rolling backwards on a steep incline, and Downhill Assist Control, which maintains a steady speed on steep downgrades. HAC and DAC are standard on V-6 models and 4-cylinder models equipped with the optional third-row seat.
