New Toyota RAV4 crossover: improved off-road potential and price from 1,756,000 rubles
Toyota presented in Russia a completely new fifth-generation RAV4 car: due to the transition to the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) architecture, absolutely all fundamental characteristics of the popular crossover have been improved.
The car will be offered in four main versions - “Standard”, “Comfort”, “Prestige” and “Prestige Safety”. It is noted that already in the initial version, the equipment of the new crossover has been fundamentally improved compared to the previous generation.
Thus, the “Standard” package for the first time includes a choice of ECO/NORMAL/SPORT driving modes and an electromechanical parking brake. The car's arsenal includes front and rear LED optics, 17-inch alloy wheels, leather steering wheel, electric folding side mirrors, a seven-inch color LCD display and an audio system with six speakers, Bluetooth support and a USB connector.
Seven airbags are responsible for passive safety in the car, and active ones include a hill-climbing assistance system, emergency braking booster, anti-lock braking and traction control systems, brake force distribution systems, directional stability and trailer stabilization systems.
The RAV4 in the “Standard” version is equipped with front-wheel drive, a manual transmission and the latest naturally-aspirated petrol engine of the Dynamic Force series with a displacement of two liters and a power of 149 hp. With. Price - from 1,756,000 rubles.
A step higher is the Comfort package. This version was the first to receive the Multi-terrain select system, which is used in the Land Cruiser Prado and Land Cruiser 200 SUVs. With its help, you can select the optimal vehicle operation algorithm for one of three preset types of surface - Normal (regular road), Mud and Sand (liquid dirt and sand), Rock and Dirt (rocks and soil). Multi-terrain select algorithms make adjustments to the engine, gearbox, all-wheel drive system and traction control, helping the driver to overcome the most difficult road sections as efficiently as possible.
Buyers of the RAV4 Comfort trim will be able to choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In the second case, it is possible to install a TNGA engine of the Dynamic Force series with a volume of 2.5 liters and a power of 199 hp. With. In addition, two types of transmissions will be offered - an eight-speed automatic transmission with an extended torque converter lock-up range and a unique variator with a mechanical first gear, which provides dynamic acceleration and is not afraid of long-term off-road driving.
Starting with the “Comfort” package, the new car’s equipment includes dual-zone climate control, a rain sensor, an electrically heated windshield, lighting in the driver’s and front passenger’s footwells, rear parking sensors, a rear view camera with dynamic marking lines, cruise control, and a keyless entry system. access to the interior and engine start with a button, electric drive of the fifth door with height adjustment and memory function. The price will be from 1,980,000 rubles.
Next comes the “Prestige” package with a two-liter engine and a CVT. This version is equipped with a unique Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD all-wheel drive system with adaptive torque distribution to the rear wheels. A transmission with two separate all-wheel drive couplings on each of the rear wheels provides a number of advantages both when driving on roads (improving handling, reducing the effects of oversteer and understeer) and off-road (reducing the risk of wheel slip, solving the problem of diagonal hanging).
The Prestige version also includes an electrochromic center mirror, leather upholstery, front parking sensors, an eight-way power driver's seat with two-position memory, heated rear seats and 19-inch wheels. Such a car costs from 2,290,000 rubles.
Finally, the Prestige Safety package includes the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 package of active safety systems. This includes full-speed dynamic radar cruise control integrated with traffic sign recognition (DRCC + RSA = iDRCC), a collision avoidance system with automatic braking function (PCS) with improved pedestrian recognition at night, and a cross-crossing warning system. road markings with the function of keeping the car in the center of the lane (LTA), an automatic switching system for high beams to low beams (AHB), a system for monitoring and informing about driver fatigue. Plus there are four panoramic cameras, a reverse parking assist system with visual and audio alert (RCTA), a blind spot monitoring system with visual alert (BSM) and a navigation system. Price - from 2,661,000 rubles.
2021 Model Review
The 2021 Toyota Rav 4 was shown in New York in March of this year. Despite the fact that the crossover is selling like hot cakes, management is releasing a new generation of the bestseller that will go on sale in the spring of 2021.
If the current generation is positioned as an urban crossover, then with the release of the new generation, the management states that the crossover is intended for young and active families, whose time is spent not only in the city, but they can go out into nature, to the mountains, to the beach.
In appearance, it is noticeable that the crossover has become more courageous and respectable in appearance, a kind of compact Land Cruiser for the city. Square wheel arches, a wide grille, and square body lines hint at an off-road spirit. It is worth noting that the exterior also depends on the choice of modification; three of them were shown in New York; we will talk about them in more detail later.
Interior and equipment
The interior of the 2021 Toyota Rav 4 has changed completely, it has become more solid and of better quality, the driver's seat has become more pronounced and sporty. A large display has appeared between the instruments, and on the dashboard there is a display of the Etune 3.0 infotainment system, its dimensions depend on the configuration; there are 7 and 8 inch monitors.

The interior of the Toyota Rav 4 has many USB outlets and sockets, and sockets have also appeared in the trunk. American models will be equipped with a rear view camera, adaptive cruise control, electric handbrake, lane marking monitoring system, automatic braking system, by the way, all this will come as standard.
For an additional fee, it is possible to purchase seat ventilation, a panoramic roof, electric seats, a heated rear sofa, a premium JBL audio system and an electric trunk with sensors under the bumper to open the trunk with a wave of your foot.
Technical stuffing
Toyota Rav 4 2021 moved to the TNGA platform (the same platform as the new Toyota Corolla 2021), due to the platform, body rigidity increased by 57% compared to the previous body.
The suspension was inherited from the previous generation, it is MacPherson strut at the front and a multi-link chassis at the rear. The dimensions of the car have increased slightly, but have grown: the length has increased by 50 mm and is 4655 mm, the width has increased by 10 millimeters, respectively, it has become 1854 millimeters. The wheelbase has increased by 30 millimeters, to 2690 millimeters.
If we talk about the American market (the model was not presented for Russia, it is expected that it will be shown in the fall of 2021), then the engine range has not fundamentally changed. This is a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder naturally aspirated unit, which is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and develops a power of about 200 horsepower. We can assume that there will be a 2-liter engine from the previous generation.
Toyota Rav 4 2021 will not impress with cross-country ability like, for example, the new Toyota Fortuner body, but it will definitely please you on a country or winter road.
Options
3 modifications of the 2019 Toyota Rav 4 were presented in New York:
• Adventure RAV 4; • Limited RAV 4; • XSE Hybrid RAV 4.
From the name of the first configuration it is clear that this is a version for the most active, and accordingly the exterior with pronounced off-road details. These include arch extensions, plastic wheel arches, a special wheel design and, of course, roof rails.

The second modification is Limited, it is positioned as a city model, and it was not for nothing that a girl sat in it at the presentation. The Limited comes with 19-inch wheels and no roof rails or fender flares. The third is the XSE Hybrid, the fattest modification of the 2021 Toyota Rav 4, it comes with many additional options and looks like a Lexus with a Toyota badge.

All-wheel drive Toyota RAV4
RAF4 with the latest generation 4wd all-wheel drive system, which has received expanded capabilities for movement on different types of roads, behaves more stable at high speeds.
What is the difference between the drive on Toyota RAV 4 versions 3 and 4:
- On a Toyota RAV 4 generation 3 in all-wheel drive, the multi-disc clutch is constantly running in auto mode. System locking depends on slippage and stabilizer. Off-road at speeds up to 40 km/h, the clutch is locked with the Lock button.
- All-wheel drive on the 4th generation Toyota RAV 4 works as follows: a vectorizer has appeared that distributes torque to the rear wheels separately. The ratchet type clutch is located on the rear and front axles. In this regard, there was no need for a stabilization system.
Now the rear wheels of the RAV 4wd receive up to 30% more torque, saving fuel consumption. But this is not the limit of optimization for modern cars: there is a tendency to replace permanent drives with on-demand drives.
The basic assembly of the RAV 4wd is equipped with the Dynamic TorqueControl AWD system: the new DynamicTorque VectoringAWD option will be offered as a possible configuration.
