What Has Changed On The New Toyota RAV4

What Has Changed On The New Toyota RAV4

Date: 2015-12-04
The first thing you'll notice about the new RAV4 is its sleek new look. New LED-equipped headlamps, upper and lower grilles, front bumper and revised mud flaps (on the GX models) simplify the front end design, and reflect the latest Toyota look also seen on new Auris and Yaris.

The reshaped 'nose' around the upper front grille and a slinky tail light design that features LED lights and no visible reverse lights sharpens up the rear end while the reshaped lower tailgate and tailgate garnish further emphasise the RAV's solid stance.

The rear bumper now comprises a larger painted section while the revised rear fog lamps, a stylish shark-fin antenna and under body valance strengthens the look.

One of the areas Toyota engineers focused on with the updated RAV4 is the sensory quality of the interior. The ambient lighting, materials and the layout of the gear shift area and cup holders have been revised and improved and a storage area for sunglasses has been added into the overhead interior lighting cluster above the windscreen.

New safety specification include an auto door lock system for the GX and VX models that allows doors to automatically lock once the vehicle reaches a specific speed limit, auto locking retractor seatbelts for the rear centre seats, Trailer Sway Control and an alarm system for the GX models.
