Advanced Active All Wheel Drive (AWD)
With the All New RAV4, Toyota introduces Active AWD. By engaging only when the front wheels lose traction, Active AWD gives you real-time control of your vehicle while also conserving engine power and fuel. Of course, you can manually engage AWD at any time with the touch of a button (at vehicle speed below 40km/h). But the improvements don't stop there! On Cruiser, Cruiser L & all V6 models, you also get:
- Downhill Assist Control (DAC) - Automatic transmission models only - helps you control the vehicle on steep descents by controlling the vehicle’s speed without locking the wheels
- Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) – delivers smoother hill starts by preventing vehicle roll-back when taking off on steep or slippery inclines
- Traction Control (TRC) – senses when a wheel slips and brakes each wheel independently and distributing power to the wheels with the greatest traction
More power
The Toyota RAV4 delivers a knockout blow with its powerful 2.4 litre VVT-i 4 cylinder DOHC engine. With 125kW of impressive power and a handy 224Nm of torque, RAV4 not only talks the talk, it also walks the walk.
Now available in V6, the Toyota RAV4 now packs even more punch with a technologically advanced 3.5L V6 DOHC Dual VVT-i engine pumping out a huge 201kW of power and a gutsy 333Nm of torque, RAV4 V6 models provide high performance with excellent fuel economy.
Streamlined engine
Of course, it’s not just about raw power. High performance is also about style and grace. That’s why the RAV4 features a lightweight, compact cylinder block, a reduced drag co-efficient compared to the previous model, and a 4-speed Super ECT automatic transmission built on low-friction technology or a smooth 5-speed manual in (manual available in 4 cylinder models only). RAV4 V6 models come standard with a 5-speed Super ECT automatic transmission.
All new, improved suspension
The RAV4 is now more nimble and comfortable than ever. Thanks to McPherson strut front suspension with highly rigid lower arms, off-set springs, gas dampers and stabiliser bar, and trailing-type double wishbone suspension in the rear, the RAV4 delivers optimised comfort with a smooth ride, maximum driver stability, and minimum body roll.
