About RAV4

Toyota has fully remodeled the new “RAV4” XA50 and released it in Japan on April 10, 2019. All models come standard with the world’s first new 4WD system, “Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD,” and the latest active safety package, “Toyota Safety Sense.”

Unlike the fifth generation RAV4, it has an outdoor-oriented design similar to the first and second generation , and has a strong and bold design with an octagon motif that follows the tradition of Toyota SUVs such as the Land Cruiser . There is a regular grade and an outdoor-oriented “Adventure” grade , with differences in the front grille and front bumper design. It uses many of the technologies from the newly developed platform called TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), which was introduced in the new Prius in 2015, and the GA-K platform, which is used in the new Camry. This allows for more interior space than the previous model. The adoption of a newly developed platform that achieves high aerodynamic performance results in a lower center of gravity and increased body rigidity, resulting in a 57% improvement in body rigidity from the previous model and a significant evolution of the front/rear weight ratio to 51:49. . Because it is based on the Camry, the body size is slightly larger than the old model, and the interior is more spacious and the interior is more luxurious than the old model.

About RAV4 body size

Compared to the old model, the new RAV4 has an overall length of -5 mm, overall width of 10 mm, and a wheelbase of 30 mm. Ride comfort is greatly improved compared to the old model due to the longer wheelbase. The new RAV4 is 115mm shorter in overall length and 30mm longer in overall width than the Harrier. Compared to the new UX, the overall length is 115mm longer and the overall width is 15mm longer.

full length	4,610mm	4,630mm	4,725mm	4,495mm
full width	1,865mm	1,845mm	1,835mm	1,840mm
Overall height	1,690mm	1,645mm	1,690mm	1,520mm
Wheelbase	2,690mm	2,660mm		2,640mm

Also equipped with Toyota’s familiar modes “Normal”, “Power”, “Eco” and “Snow”. “Hill Descent” will also be adopted. The interior features LED interior lighting and an electric parking brake and hold. Toyota brand’s first “digital rear view mirror” setting. The accelerator pedal uses an organ type pedal. Adopts a 4.2-inch or 7.0-inch TFT color multi-information display. Equipped with comfortable heated seats + seat ventilation (driver and passenger seats). A power back door (with pinch prevention function, stop position memory function, and reservation lock function) will also be adopted. Adopts power seat & driver’s seat position memory.

About RAV4 partially improved 2021 model

This time, the “Adventure” grade, which is only available for gasoline-powered cars, will be added to the hybrid model to become “ HYBRID Adventure .” Until now, those who chose the “Adventure” as an off-road-oriented model had only chosen a gasoline-powered model, but now that a hybrid model can also be selected , the “RAV4” is likely to become even more popular. On the exterior, the design of the headlights (signature lamp LED light + daytime running lamp) of the hybrid grade (RAV4 hybrid vehicle, RAV4 PHV ) has been changed . New body colors are available : Ash Gray Metallic x Grayish Blue . In the interior, all grades have LED interior lamps. “Blind spot monitor” and “back guide monitor” are now standard equipment on the Adventure grade, and “seat ventilation” is now standard equipment on the Adventure, G, and GZ package grades.

About the differences between RAV4 and new Harrier equipment

Toyota’s position is that the RAV4 is lower than the Harrier, and the Harrier is in the luxury SUV category. Therefore, I would like to introduce some features or equipment that are better than the new RAV4.

When I actually used the cruise control on both cars, I found that the basic functions and the latest features that I wanted to suppress are almost the same, but the new Harrier is equipped with more advanced functions that are commensurate with the price.
