31st December, 2015
Toyota has released a substantially upgraded RAV4 SUV, completing a
remarkable 2015 in which it has launched, replaced or renewed models representing three-quarters of its sales volume.
The latest changes to RAV4 extend Toyota's revitalisation this year to 13 models including its three most popular
vehicles - Camry, HiLux and Corolla hatch.
RAV4 adopts sleeker and more dynamic exterior styling, refreshed interiors, Euro 5 engines, trailer sway control and
new features including an available package of integrated active safety and driver assistance technologies.
The newly developed safety features use a forward-facing camera and millimetre-wave radar to trigger vehicle systems,
including autonomous braking, to prevent or mitigate the force of a collision.
Prices for automatic petrol models have been held or reduced despite the improvements while manual versions have edged
up just $500. Prices for the turbo-diesel variants, which also gain a diesel particulate filter, have risen between
$1,000 and $2,000.
Toyota's executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said couples or families with active lifestyles would
appreciate the refreshed styling and expanded equipment levels.
"The updates to RAV4 cap off a sustained roll-out of new or refreshed Toyota vehicles in 2015 - a period of renewal
that is delivering motorists more choice, quality and driving enjoyment while underpinning Toyota's sales growth into
2016," Mr Cramb said.
Exterior changes to the RAV4 include a bolder-looking front design with a larger lower grille and slimline LED
projector headlights that incorporate high and low beams in a housing that also integrates LED daytime running lights.
Restyled front and rear bumpers add 35mm to the RAV4's overall length while new wheel-arch mouldings and rocker panels
sharpen the sides and contribute to a more flowing profile. LED taillights add a premium touch.
New wheel designs for mid-range GXL and high-grade Cruiser and a standard shark fin antenna on all grades further
accent the freshened look of the new RAV4.
The GXL moves up from a 17-inch alloy to a stylish 18-inch black alloy with bright machined spokes. Cruiser's new
18-inch alloys have five pairs of spokes while entry-level GX has a 17-inch steel wheel with low rolling resistance tyres.
Capping the exterior restyle are three additions to the colour palette: Deep Red mica metallic (replacing Wildfire),
Hazel and Blue Gem.
RAV4's cabin is quieter for greater occupant comfort and ease of conversation due to expanded insulation coverage and
thickness to reduce road, tyre and exhaust noise.
There is new matt black trim with contrasting silver accents. The centre console has been redesigned so the front cup
holder can accommodate mugs with handles. A 12-volt accessory socket in the second row (in addition to two in the front)
and a new holder for sunglasses have also been adopted.
GXL and Cruiser gain a new two-dial instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch colour TFT (thin-film-transistor)
multi-information display. GXL is now fitted with an electro-chromatic rear-view mirror. RAV4 Cruiser's interior,
including its leather-accented seats, can be specified in black, tan or beige depending on the exterior colour.
Ride comfort and driver involvement have been improved with measures including a more rigid rear body shell that
contributes to greater driving stability and improved ride quality.
Shock absorbers and coil springs have been revised to give a flatter, more comfortable ride and to enhance
straight-line stability.
RAV4's new cutting-edge safety technologies include Pre-Collision System with forward collision warning and automatic
emergency brake, Lane Departure Alert, Automatic High Beam and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
The newly developed features, standard on Cruiser and included in an optional technical pack for GXL with CVT or
automatic transmissions, also includes Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and front parking sensors.
Pre-Collision Safety System can warn the driver of a possible crash and automatically apply the brakes. Automated
braking can reduce vehicle speed by approximately 30km/h.
Active Cruise Control helps the driver keep a safe distance from the car in front. It also monitors vehicles merging
into or out of the lane ahead to support smooth acceleration and deceleration.
Automatic High Beam (already standard on Cruiser) detects the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the taillights of
preceding vehicles, switching automatically between high and low beam to avoid dazzling other drivers. More frequent use
of high beam helps with earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

Lane Departure Alert (already standard on Cruiser) is designed to help avoid collisions by warning the driver if the
vehicle starts to deviate from the lane without the indicators having been engaged.
RAV4 is offered with three four-cylinder engines, starting with a 107kW 2.0-litre petrol for the two-wheel drive (2WD)
variants.
All-wheel drive (AWD) versions can be specified with a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine that develops 340Nm of torque, or
a 2.5-litre petrol engine that develops 132kW.
The 2WD RAV4 is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox or Toyota's Multidrive S automatic transmission that also
provides a sporty, sequential seven-speed mode.
Petrol AWD variants are fitted with a six-speed multi-mode sequential-shift automatic while diesel AWD RAV4 offers the
choice of the six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes.
A feature of the range is Toyota's advanced all-wheel drive technology, Dynamic Torque Control AWD. It uses
information from speed, steering-angle and yaw-rate sensors to control torque transfer between the front and rear
wheels.
RAV4 first arrived in Australia in 1994. Four generations of RAV4 have sold more than six million units around the
world, including more than 248,000 in Australia.
