The history of the RAV4 model begins in 1989. At this year's Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota presented its new concept car, the RAV Four. The new model was positioned as a car for youth active recreation, a beach SUV.

RAV is an abbreviation of the English phrase Recreation Active Vehicle (Russian decoding - a car for active recreation), Four (Russian four) - implies all-wheel drive on a car. The production of the serial model began in 1994, the name did not change, only the word “Four” was replaced with a number and everything began to be written together - RAV4.

The car was one of the first models of compact crossovers, combining the comfort of passenger cars and the cross-country ability of SUVs. At first, the RAV4 was a three-door car, but already in 1995 an extended five-door version of the car was released.

Toyota Rav 4: generations 1, 2, 3

Modifications of the older generation Toyota Rav 4 can be recognized by the small and shortened body shape. There wasn't much room for the driver, but the recessed dashboard dials and sporty steering wheel gave it the appearance of an off-road sports coupe.

Although the SUV underwent minor changes in 1995 and received a fifth door, this did not make it any bigger. Although it was then that the Toyota Rav 4 began to be called a family car.

Attention! RAV in English has the following name: “ Recreation Active Vehicle ,” which translated from English means “vehicle for active recreation.”

The first models were equipped with two-liter engines. The manufacturer supplied manual and automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission at that time was four-speed.

The table shows the dimensions of Rav 4 models from 1994 to 2005. These are the first two generations of SUVs that had a perfectly tuned chassis. It was at the same time rigid, maneuverable and comfortable for passengers, since the latter did not feel small potholes or ruts during off-road tests.

The table shows general dimensions. In fact, they can increase or decrease depending on the modification or specification of the car. Also, a car for the American market can have dimensions of 4155x1735x1680, and for the European market it can be a little smaller. The same goes for the weight of the car.

The second generation had a different personality from the first. Rav 4 has become brighter and more attractive due to large tires and canopies. The external dimensions did not become larger, but the interior from Japanese manufacturers turned out to be comfortable. Now the seats could be moved back, both front and rear. The driver's space has increased.

The third generation car has become taller and wider than the first. The salon has also increased. Now it could fit three broad-shouldered people.

Factors that influenced the increase in size and weight of the Toyota RAV4

There are several of them. Let's list the main ones.

Platform.

Its dimensions and weight largely depend on the architecture of the car. The base of the first generation models carried less load. Over time, the number of systems and various technical devices in cars has increased. This is noticeable in the arsenal of RAV4 configurations; it expanded with each new generation. It was necessary to use a new “trolley” that could withstand such loads. The platform for the first generation three-door car was borrowed from the leader of the Japanese corporation - Corolla. Now the basis for the new RAV4 is the family TNGA-K architecture, modernized for the brand’s flagship. It should be noted that despite the increase in size, the weight of the crossover has not increased. The use of lightweight materials had an effect: aluminum alloys. This helps improve the aerodynamic qualities of the car and reduce fuel costs. Less weight allows you to quickly gain the desired speed and improve acceleration time to 100 km/h.

Body parts.

Leading car manufacturers are trying to get ahead of their competitors in the fight for the best positions in the popularity ratings of potential buyers. To achieve this, Toyota Motor Corporation developers are inventing new forms, trying to improve aerodynamic qualities and make the RAV4 exterior attractive. As a result, a change in the overall parameters of the car.

Design.

Automotive fashion is forcing Japanese car manufacturers to equip them with modern body kit parts, making the popular crossover even more attractive. Rails, linings, spoilers and other tuning parts also help to increase the weight of the RAV4.

It should be noted that regardless of size and weight, the RAV4 continues to be popular for a long time.

Dimensions of Toyota RAV4. Dimensions, weight, ground clearance.

The first generation cars of the famous Japanese brand Toyota RAV4 were born in 1994. It was they, together with their fellow countrymen from Honda (CR-V), who stood at the origins of the formation of the now popular class of crossovers. These cars combined the rough, brutal exterior of SUVs and the elegant look of city cars. All-wheel drive SUV (SUV) has become in great demand due to its universal use. The owner could equally successfully use it for traveling on roads in rural areas and on city highways. The first modifications of the model were positioned by a company from Japan as an SUV, and only starting in 2006, the RAV4 became a crossover.

Now Toyota RAV 4 continues to be in demand among car enthusiasts. In 2021, 807,116 cars were sold worldwide, which brought it 4th place overall in the list of best-selling cars in the world.

4 generations were released from the factory assembly lines; sales of the fifth generation RAV4 started in 2021. Over the entire period of production of the popular compact crossover, its appearance and technical characteristics have changed several times.

We will tell you in detail in our review about changes in the size and weight of the Japanese SUV, we will name the reasons that prompted manufacturers to change its dimensions and weight.

Technical characteristics of Toyota Rav 4 2020

On the Russian market, the model is sold with two variants of power units with the following technical characteristics:

• A 2-liter gasoline engine that comes with the basic versions of the crossover. Power 149 hp, fuel consumption from 5.7 to 8.6 liters per 100 km. The speed of a car with such an engine is 190 km/h. Acceleration time to 100 km/h – 9.8 s.
• 2.5-liter internal combustion engine, which is designed for more expensive trim levels. Gasoline consumption is from 5.8 to 8.0 liters per 100 km, speed is 190 km/h, acceleration to hundreds is in 11 seconds.

The crossover turned out to be quite spacious – and even in its trunk there is a lot of space. By default, 580 liters will fit here. By folding the backrests of the second row seats in a ratio of 60 to 40, you can increase the space to 1.69 cubic meters. m.

The safety of the crossover is ensured by a reliable body, the strength of which has increased by 57% compared to the previous version. And also – driver assistance systems, the Toyota Safety Sense complex and an automatic headlight switching system. According to the results of the JNCAP crash test, the model received 88.9 points out of 100 or 5 stars out of 5. The passenger and driver were best protected in a frontal collision, and in a side impact - the person in the driver's seat.

Interior details of Toyota Rav 4 2021 (2016)

If you look inside the cabin, you can immediately notice the appearance of the plastic panels and other trim parts. The quality of their performance has noticeably improved. A choice of different interior design options is available as an option. Thanks to modern soundproofing materials, the cabin has become quieter. The power window buttons have received a new design. The center console has become a little more massive. The steering wheel is equipped with control buttons and is also lined with soft genuine leather.

The instrument panel is now equipped with modern electrical equipment, making all parameters easy to see. The display, enlarged to 4.2 inches, shows a lot of useful information: fuel consumption and amount, gear engaged, voltmeter, tire pressure sensor.

The standard version of the Toyota RAV 4 2021 includes: a set of rear parking sensors, a modern multimedia system with the ability to navigate on a 7-inch screen, four cameras for monitoring the external condition of the car, keyless access to start the engine by pressing a button.

The updated version also includes: a pedestrian detection system, intelligent cruise control with sudden braking function, and parking assistance. The developers of the Toyota Rav 4 2021 (2017) tried to arrange the interior of the car in such a way as to achieve maximum free interior space . Plus, the dimensions of the car have been slightly increased. So, having worked a little magic on the size of the front seats, the engineers managed to increase the space for those sitting in the back. Accordingly, when the rear seats are folded, the volume of the luggage compartment also increases, up to 2 thousand liters.

Options

Three main versions of the updated 5-door SUV are available for European consumers.

Basic version "Standard". Equipped with a 2-liter engine with a manual transmission. Front-wheel drive. The maximum power of the power unit is 149 l/s, torque is 206. The model is equipped with 17-inch diagonal tires.

Toyota RAV4 2021 interior

The salon has a 5-seater layout and will delight you with good space. Finishing materials have become more premium - soft plastic, artificial leather. But, if you want, you can find hard plastic.

The design with a new front panel architecture uses multi-level design, with each level highlighted by material and texture. In addition to the standard glove compartment, the front passenger and driver have convenient niches for small luggage. The center console is highlighted with silver trim.

The Entune 3.0 infotainment screen rises above the center console. In almost all versions it is 8-inch (only in the 7-inch base). The top version has navigation and all-round cameras. Standard equipment includes 6 speakers, Bluetooth, USB and audio jacks. All important functions of the system are duplicated by physical buttons and rotary controls.

The dual-zone climate control unit has convenient large “knobs” with a separate screen. The base only has air conditioning. There are also buttons for “warm” functions.

Central tunnel with leather gearshift lever (starting from the Comfort version) and buttons for selecting the driving modes ECO, NORMAL, SPORT (for CVT and automatic). There is also a “puck” for the Multi Terrain Select off-road system and a parking brake button. There are two cup holders and wireless charging (the latter only in Prestige and above). Under the folding armrest cover there is a niche for small luggage.

The instrument panel, in simple configurations, is a traditional analogue speedometer and tachometer, between which there is a 4.2-inch color trip computer screen. The Prestige version has a dashboard with a 7-inch color screen, which displays the speedometer scale and all information from the trip computer. Tachometer and other indicators on the sides in the form of analog arrows.

The steering wheel with functional buttons is leather trimmed (by the way, it is exactly the same as the new Camry and Corolla). The base has mechanical height and reach adjustments, as well as heating.

New ergonomic front seats are now mounted lower. In the first two trim levels with fabric upholstery. Heating is included as standard. Starting with the Prestige, leather trim is available, the driver's seat is electrically adjustable in 8 directions (with memory) and electrically adjustable lumbar support.

The rear sofa has good space thanks to the increased wheelbase and body width (+40 mm in the rear) - even three adults can fit with reasonable comfort. There's plenty of knee and headroom, although there's a slight ridge above the transmission tunnel. In the basic version, the back of the sofa is solid. In all other versions, the backrest is separate, adjustable and folds in a ratio of 60:40. Unfortunately, there is no longitudinal adjustment of the sofa cushion. The following amenities are available for rear passengers: ventilation deflectors, a folding armrest, ISOFIX mounts, a pair of USB chargers, pockets on the backs of the front seats, and an overhead light.

The sound insulation of the interior has become better than that of its predecessor - the noise from the road and from under the arches is well muffled. The only sound that can be heard into the cabin is the sound of the engine at high speeds.

The trunk capacity is 580 liters.

You can learn more about the available equipment, including “winter options,” in the “Options” section below.

Advantages and disadvantages

First the advantages:

1. Excellent sound insulation, thanks to which the cabin is quiet even when driving at high speed.
2. Solid ground clearance (197 mm), allowing you not to worry about bad roads.
3. Clearly working variator.
4. Modern design.
5. Easy folding rear seat.
6. Volume trunk with electric drive.
7. The thresholds around the doors are always clean, so even in rainy weather you don’t have to worry about the cleanliness of your trousers when you get out of the car.

Flaws :

1. The button responsible for folding the mirrors is not illuminated, which is extremely inconvenient in the dark - you have to look for it by touch.
2. The brake pedal is located slightly higher than the accelerator pedal, which is not particularly convenient.
3. The sills and arches are covered in black plastic, despite the fact that the body is light. This plastic quickly becomes covered with dust, making the car look extremely unpresentable. If it were the designers, I would make the linings in body color.
4. There is no climate control duct for rear passengers - the air comes to them from under the seats.
5. The clock is located on the dashboard and becomes inaccessible in a number of modes (for example, when there is little fuel left).

Toyota RAV 4 I (XA10) 1994 – 2000

Let's look at the evolution of the Toyota RAV 4 model range by year of production.

In 1994, Japanese manufacturers created a small 3-door SUV of the 1st generation - Toyota RAV 4 I (XA10). Its production continued until 2000, until they released a line of 2nd generation cars - the XA20. This model can be purchased on the secondary market, its cost is from 300,000 rubles.

Body RAV 4 I (XA10)

The first cars were produced in a 3-door body. Since 1995, a 5-door version has appeared. The body is made of high quality steel with a reliable paint and varnish coating. Only the bottom can corrode. A plastic protection is installed that prevents the ingress of salt and dirt.

The downside is the location of the spare wheel on the rear trunk door. With its weight, it weakens the awnings and creates extraneous noise when moving. Periodically you have to adjust the trunk lid.

The 3-door model has dimensions:

• height – 165 cm;
• length – 370.5 cm;
• width – 169.5 cm;
• wheelbase – 220 cm;
• ground clearance - 20 cm.

Dimensions of the 5-door model:

• height – 166 cm;
• length – 411.5 cm;
• width – 169.5 cm;
• wheelbase – 241 cm;
• ground clearance - 20 cm.

Salon

The car has a simple interior made of inexpensive materials. The seats are covered with velor, the rest of the parts are made of plastic. On the dashboard there are:

• speedometer;
• tachometer;
• coolant temperature sensor;
• fuel level sensor.

On the left side of the steering wheel there are buttons for controlling electric mirrors, turning on headlights and lighting the dashboard.

The car has:

• lever control of the stove and air conditioner;
• heated rear window;
• locking the center differential.

The trunk volume on the 3-door model is 175 liters with the seats folded down and 520 liters with them folded down. On a 5-door SUV with the seats in the normal position - 409 liters, in the unfolded position - 1790 liters.

Engine

The RAV 4 I (XA10) is equipped with 3 types of gasoline power units:

• 2-liter engine with a power of 129 hp, torque - 178 Nm;
• 2-liter engine with a power of 135 hp, torque - 178 Nm;
• 2-liter engine with a power of 180 hp, torque - 201 Nm.

An EV electric motor is rare; its charge lasted for 180 km.

The belt must be replaced every 60,000 km. The engine life, with proper maintenance, is 300,000 kilometers.

Transmission

The power units of the Toyota RAV 4 I generation are equipped with a manual 5-speed gearbox or an automatic 4-speed gearbox. For reliability, the automatic transmission must be filled with original oil.

The disadvantage of a manual transmission is knocking out 5th speed. The manufacturer installed low-quality synchronizers on some models.

The RAV 4 XA10 was produced with high-quality all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is only engaged when stopping. Proper bridge maintenance will ensure long service life.

Chassis

The front suspension of the crossover is independent, MacPherson type, and the rear is multi-link. The car’s suspension is reliable, but over time the following malfunctions often occur:

1. The bushings of the rear arms fail, and sometimes the arms become deformed when driving on curbs and off-road.
2. Steering rack leaking.
3. Brake pad wear.

By what criteria are sizes determined?

Family cars belong to class “D”. This is a middle class of vehicles. The dimensions of the car cannot exceed 4800 mm in length and 1800 in width. The body can have any appearance. The comfort and convenience of the interior are welcome.

To understand what dimensions the car has, you need to look at the documentation for the Toyota Rav 4 or measure it in the following way:

• the height of the vehicle is measured from the ground to the roof, roof rails are not included in the height;
• Width is measured at the widest point near the body. These could be wheel arches or B-pillars;
• length is measured from the front bumper to the rear bumper. The length includes the most distant places of the specified objects.

This way, a beginner can measure his own car. You need to know the dimensions of the car when building a garage or selling vehicles.

Options and prices

At the time of its appearance on the Russian car market, the Japanese SUV was available in four versions, and later another one was added to them - Style.
