2008 toyota Rav4 Sport

2008 Toyota Rav4 Sport: Now in the 3rd version year of its complete redesign, the Toyota RAV4 obtains just trim adjustments for 2008. The third row of seats on the Limited has actually been terminated, although that is no great loss, as they were extremely cramped.

2008 Toyota Rav4 Sport

The RAV4 is available with two engines, a 2.4-litre four-cylinder mated to a four-speed automated, and also a 3.5-litre V6 with a five-speed automatic transmission.

A version with front-wheel drive is marketed in the U.S., however all Canadian designs utilize Toyota's "Energetic Torque Control" four-wheel drive system, which permits the lorry to switch over continuously and also perfectly between front- and four-wheel modes. A hands-on locking button permits a maximum torque split of 55/45 between the front as well as rear wheels, under rates of 40 km/h. All versions have lorry stability control and grip control, while V6 designs add hill-start and also downhill aid control.

With the addition of the new four-cylinder Sporting activity trim line, both engines can be found in Base, Sport or Limited configuration.

Features on the Base versions include 17-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, CD/MP3 stereo with auxillary jack, material seats, 60/40 folding and also reclining back seats, power locks with keyless entrance, power home windows, tilt and telescopic wheel, floor mats, cruise control, warmed mirrors, roof covering shelf, privacy cover, soft tire cover, variable recurring wipers with deicer, and also periodic rear washer/wiper.

The Sport versions include 18-inch alloy wheels, premium fabric seats, freight internet, personal privacy glass, power sunroof, colour-keyed fender flares, black headlamp border and haze lights.

The Limited designs include 17-inch alloy wheels, six-CD/MP3 stereo with auxilliary jack, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped wheel, footwell lamps, and also molded tire cover.

Currently providing comparable consultations with both engines, the RAV4 can be rather underpowered in its four-cylinder configuration; the V6 is a better selection, and not that much of a step up in rate. The 60/40 rear seat folds completely to produce a flat luggage space, without needing to turn seat paddings or remove head restrictions, making it simple to convert to freight stowage. In 2008, manufacturing is expected to move from Japan to a brand-new area in Woodstock, Ontario.
