The main features of the new RAV4 (the car’s platform remains the same) include a completely redesigned exterior in line with the new Camry and Prius, featuring C-shaped headlights. The crossover boasts a brand-new media system based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 SoC, with a 15.6-inch screen and 2.5K resolution, a new projection screen, and an upgraded interior with soft materials.

The technology is borrowed from the Camry XV80: the base engine is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a power output of 171 hp. There is also a hybrid system based on a 2.0-liter engine (the power is lower-152 hp, but the consumption is also lower-only 4.59 l/100 km). At the top of the range is a self-charging hybrid based on a 2.5-liter engine. The power of this system is 237 hp, and there’s all-wheel drive-E-Four.
