Toyota is revealing the all-new, fifth generation RAV4 SUV at the New York International Auto Show 2018.
The first RAV4 to be built on a Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, the new RAV4 remains true to its impressive heritage as the original pioneer of the SUV segment, making significant advances in powertrain technologies, dynamic performance, intelligent safety provisions and all-round quality.
Robust Design
The robust styling of the new RAV4 expresses Toyota’s approach to the latest iteration of the most sold SUV in the world. The new design gives a “go anywhere” sense of fun and adventure that resonates with young families who enjoy life, whether moving around town or heading off to enjoy sports or leisure. Maneuverability has always been one of RAV4’s strongest qualities, and it remains in the new design.
Innovative Driving Dynamics
An all-new Hybrid electric 2.5-litre powertrain makes efficient use of power from the car’s hybrid system utilising a second electric motor to drive the rear wheels to generate high torque, reducing energy loss, contributing to greater fuel economy and offering excellent AWD performance in different driving conditions. A new 2.0-litre petrol engine is also available with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, improved by introducing a twin coupling and rear disconnect on the automatic transmission versions.
Don't just take our word for it, RAV4 is the Reliability and Build Quality Gold Winner in the Driver Power 2017 New Car Survey, the UK’s number one car customer satisfaction survey.
All RAV4 grades are now type-approved using the World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). From 1 September 2018 WLTP will fully replace the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC), which is the current test procedure from which fuel consumption and CO2 figures are currently derived.
Due to more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured under WLTP are in many cases higher compared to those measured under NEDC
