Toyota RAV 4 V6/4cyl

New 2009 Rav 4 2.5 4 cylinder

The Rav 4 has since the early 1990's held its own as a vehicle to fill the imaginations of the small SUV market.

From the early days of the 2 litre 3 door 5 spd manual to now with the introduction of the 3.5 litre V6 engine 4 door wagon.Toyota Rav 4 V6

RAV 4 is a icon and released when Toyota ruled the road (as it does today). Not only did the RAV 4 see its way onto the Australian market Toyota at that time had the 80 series landcruiser, the Hilux, the Tarago people mover, the Celica, Hi Ace, Lite Ace vans and the new wide body Camry. Plus others. What a time of innovation about 1993-94 when even the worst Toyota dealer sold cars. Now in 2007 Toyota are again launching innovating  new product and here is one with the evolution of the RAV 4 now with the Aurion V6 engine.

The engine of 201KW by the way is also the same for the Lexus RX350 and the New Kluger  Toyota Kluger 2008

Torque is OK 333 Nm at 4700 rpm transmission is five speed Automatic.Kerb weight 1655 kg ground clearance 200mm and dimensions are 4600mm length,  1815mm wide and 1695mm high. Starting price is a solemn $39,990 AUD with the top of the range the ZR6 $10000 more at $49,990 AUD.

Features are fairly universal , both levels have ABS brakes with electronic breakforce distribution ,  stability control, Traction, hill start assist and decent control. This RAV 4 is a far cry from its original some 13 years earlier.

Wheels on this model are 17 inch and towing is greatly improved now to 1900 kg with correct equipment.

Well done Toyota we here at just 4x4 sales are always proud of new innovation that is accessible worldwide to many and not just to a few.

To many its great to have on the market and RAV 4 now will fill  some areas in sales that previously was unable.

Again well done Toyota here is hoping the new 2007 RAV 4 V6 is a sucess.

 

Toyota Rav 4 2009 4 cyl

Toyota is replacing the current 2.4 4 cylinder with a 2.5 134 kw engine for 2009. However the Australian model will not change until the model end. The kw are 11 more in the new Rav 4 2.5 lt engine. Torque for the new engine will be  a 10 Nm rise now 233 Nm.

Expect the 2009 Rav 4 to have a new grill, bumpers and tail lamps. Australia too will not at this stage see the fwd model and currently Toyota has no plans to release this in Australia.
