An important player in the compact SUV segment, the RAV4 can be credited for performing an essential role in the development of this growing niche. Taking on the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 and Nissan X-Trail, the Toyota RAV4 has been an attractive proposition to small families around the Middle East and continues to be so.
All-new in every way possible, the RAV4 makes use of the brand’s TNGA platform and is bigger and bolder than ever before. A large grille pronounced fender flares and bumper guards in the front and back connote its off-road prowess while sleek lines along the bodywork lend it an elegant aura. A significant upgrade over the outgoing model, the new RAV4 boasts a bright and spacious interior with a combination of soft touch materials and rubberized controls for a fine blend of elegance and ruggedness.
Pushed through an 8-speed automatic transmission, the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine produces a respectable 203 horsepower and 242 Nm of torque. To take on varying terrain, the RAV4 is also armed with three drive modes and two multi-terrain modes that when paired with a full-time four-wheel-drive system make the little RAV4 nearly as capable as its elder siblings the Prado and Land Cruiser.
