Toyota presents the fifth generation of RAV4 to the public at the New York Motor Show. Designed on the Toyota New Global Architecture platform, the new Toyota RAV4 remains true to the stylistic dictates that have made it the pioneer of the SUV segment, offering significant technological improvements in terms of transmission, dynamic performance, safety and perceived quality.
For the all-new version of the SUV, designers kept in mind design elements of adventure and refined to allow owners to get up and go in their RAV4, no matter the time or place. An emphasis was placed on maximizing the presence of a small SUV while maintaining high levels of finesse inside and out. Each body panel has a sophisticated twist to it, with a chiseled appearance that is a perfect combination of athleticism and charisma. The stronger nose leads into a more dynamic profile, robust shoulders, and available 19-inch wheels, making for a powerful stance ready to tackle any road, any time.
The implementation of the TNGA platform allows RAV4 to adopt the charisma of a bolder and tougher SUV, but in a package that is lower and wider. The longer wheelbase and wider front and rear tracks provide a stable, confident driving platform. For off-road prowess, the shorter front and rear overhangs will aid in RAV4’s ability to overcome rugged terrain.
