So just what's brand-new on the 2016 Toyota RAV4?
Outside modifications include a bolder-looking front end including a bigger reduced grille and slimline LED projector fronts lights, plus modified LED daytime running lights.
Changed front and back bumpers include 35mm to the RAV4's total size while new wheel arch mouldings and rocker panels develop the sides as well as contribute to an extra running profile.
New wheel designs for the mid-range GXL and also state-of-the-art Cruiser and also a typical shark fin antenna also include. The GXL goes up from a 17-inch alloy to an 18-inch black alloy.
There are also three new colours: Deep Red mica metallic (replacing Wildfire), Hazel and Blue Gem.
Inside, the RAV4's cabin is stated to be quieter thanks to increased insulation protection as well as density.
There is new matt black trim with contrasting silver accents. The centre console has actually been revamped so the front mug owner can accommodate mugs with manages. A 12-volt device outlet in the 2nd row (in addition to 2 in the front) as well as a sunglasses-holder have also been included.
The GXL and also Cruiser gain a brand-new two-dial tool collection with a 4.2-inch colour TFT display. The GXL is now fitted with an electrochromatic rear-view mirror, while the RAV4 Cruiser's inside, including its 'leather-accented' seats, can be defined in black, tan or off-white depending upon the exterior colour.
Toyota asserts the ride convenience and also driver involvement have actually been enhanced with steps consisting of "a much more rigid rear body covering that contributes to better driving security as well as improved ride high quality".
Shock absorbers as well as coil springs have actually been revised to provide a "flatter, even more comfortable trip and to improve straight-line stability". It's worth keeping in mind that we have criticised the RAV's flight top quality in the past compared to rivals.
There's some new safety technology included also. Standard on the currently much better-value Cruiser and also optional on the GXL (for $2500) is a pack featuring a pre-collision system with forward collision warning and also independent emergency brakes, lane separation alert, automatic high beam of light and also radar cruise control.
There's also a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert and also front auto parking sensing units. Trailer sway control likewise features, though stopped trailer ability remains meagre (1500kg for the petrol and 1200kg for the diesel).
In spite of all this things being included in the Cruiser, the fuel version is really $500 less expensive than in the past.
Engines are unchanged, though the diesel variation now has a NOx-saving particle filter. The base 2.0-litre front-drive versions have 107kW/187Nm at hand as well as use either a six-speed guidebook or CVT.
The mid-level 2.5-litre with AWD has 132kW/233Nm and also is six-speed-auto only, while the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel has 110kW/340Nm as well as obtains the alternative of six-speed auto or hand-operated gearboxes.
Costs for automatic fuel designs have actually been held or decreased in spite of the renovations while manual variations have actually bordered up $500. Costs for the turbo-diesel variants have risen in between $1000 as well as $2000.
We discussed Toyota's epic year of updates previously. Over the past YEAR we have actually seen a significant Camry redesign, an all-new HiLux, as well as an upgraded Corolla hatch.
Toyota also released the Fortuner and also upgraded the Prado and also 200 Series LandCruiser, as well as the Aurion, Prius C, Prius V, HiAce bus and van, as well as the Rollercoaster bus.
These updates cover lorries with combined sales of about 150,000 systems YTD-- about 15 per cent of the overall Australian vehicle market.
The RAV4 this year makes up 16,805 of Toyota's sales, making it the firm's fourth most preferred model after the Corolla, Camry as well as HiLux. It sits second in the medium SUV segment behind the Mazda CX-5 (23,219) as well as just ahead of the Nissan X-Trail (16,737).
