New Awd For New Toyota RAV4 At CMH Toyota Umhlanga

New Awd For New Toyota RAV4 At CMH Toyota Umhlanga

Date: 2019-04-05

Toyota's all-new RAV4, from CMH Toyota Umhlanga, introduces two advanced all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems that will distinguish the range with sure-footed cornering performance and grip in all driving conditions.

The mechanical AWD system has been updated with Toyota's first dynamic torque vectoring system that apportions torque between the left and right rear wheels as well as between the front and rear axles.

The fifth-generation RAV4 will be offered with all new four-cylinder direct-injection engines - 2.0-litre petrol with front-wheel-drive (FWD) and 2.5-litre petrol (mechanical AWD). It will be mated exclusively to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, including a lower first gear for enhanced start-off performance and a much wider ratio spread than the six-speed automatic it replaces. There is also the choice of a new CVT gearbox that features an innovative launch gear for sporty driving with impressive fuel efficiency.

The mechanical all-wheel drive system for the new RAV4 2.5-litre petrol engine with 8-speed auto features Toyota's first dynamic torque vectoring system. It ensures stable performance and accurate response to the driver's steering inputs when cornering, both in dry and slippery conditions.

When AWD is not required, such as during constant-speed driving, a new disconnect feature stops rotation of the driveline to contribute to lower fuel consumption.

Performance of the new RAV4's two AWD systems is further improved with the introduction of AWD Integrated Management (AIM). AIM automatically adjusts vital vehicle systems - steering assist, brake and throttle control, shift pattern and drive torque distribution - according to the drive mode selected. The driver can switch from Normal to Eco or Sport mode.

For more information of the new RAV4, contact CMH Toyota Umhlanga on 031 - 580 4000 or visit their showroom at 1 Wilton Crescent, Umhlanga Ridge, and take the Rav4 for a drive.
