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 models , 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 TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), a newly developed platform called the GA-K platform used in the new Camry, which was introduced in the new Prius in 2015 . 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, an 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.

About RAV4 partially improved 2021 model

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 .
