Configuration and prices Toyota RAV4 2015.

In both models, one can distinguish the window sill line rising to the rear of the body, the similar shape of the rear side windows, as well as taillights that extend onto the sidewalls. In general, the appearance of the 2013 Toyota RAV 4, in comparison with its predecessor, has become more faceted and dynamic.

In terms of its dimensions, the crossover turned out to be longer and wider, but at the same time slightly lower than the third generation model. The overall length of the novelty is 4 569 mm (+124 mm), width - 1 844 mm (+29 mm), height - 1 661 mm (-24 mm), the size of the wheelbase has increased from the previous 2 560 to 2 659 mm, and the ground clearance (ground clearance) is 190 mm. The trunk volume of the five-door has grown to 547 liters.

According to the automaker, several grades of high-strength steels are used in the Toyota RAV4 2013 design, which made the car lighter (the weight of the new crossover was not specified), and its body became stiffer. The trunk door now opens upwards, and not to the side, and the spare wheel has "moved" under the bottom.

Inside the SUV, the front panel has been completely changed, the upper part of which is made almost flat. Other changes include a new steering wheel, a redesigned instrument cluster, different air vents and a different center console.

The company calls the new front panel in the RAV4 asymmetric, driver-oriented. In the American version of the crossover, the base includes eight airbags, a 6.1-inch touchscreen display of the multimedia system and a rear-view camera.

The base engine for the 2013 Toyota RAV 4 in the United States is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 176 hp. (233 Nm), which replaced the previous V6 engine. Power is transmitted to the wheels via a new six-speed Sequential Shift automatic transmission, replacing the old four-speed automatic.

As before, the crossover has both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive modifications. All-wheel drive machines are equipped with a dynamic torque distribution system with three modes of operation. Under normal conditions, traction is transmitted to the wheels of the front axle, and in the event of slipping, the rear axle is connected. This helps conserve fuel and extends transmission life.

Regardless of the type of drive chosen, the new Toyota RAV 4 received a sports mode that sharpens the steering and the response of the car to pressing the accelerator pedal. And downshifts are accompanied by small gas changes.

Crossover sales in the US started in 2013, but prices have not yet been announced. As options, buyers were offered a navigation system, a 576-watt JBL audio system with 11 speakers and a set of various security systems.

In addition, in the European market, the crossover received two turbodiesel engines with a working volume of 2.0 (124 hp) and 2.2 (150 hp) liters. The first option can be chosen with six-speed manual and automatic transmissions, but the drive is only to the front wheels. A more powerful unit can be either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, but the transmission is an exclusively six-speed automatic.

Acceptance of orders for Toyota RAV4 IV in Russia started on February 1, it was decided to deliver the crossover to us with two gasoline engines and one diesel engine. The first two are represented by engines with a working volume of 2.0 (145 hp) and 2.5 (179 hp) liters, and the last one is a 2.2-liter unit producing 149 hp.

Perhaps the most anticipated novelty of recent times was the 2013 Toyota RAV 4. After all, this crossover has managed to become truly iconic, which almost all automakers were equal to. However, the emergence of a new car caused an ambiguous reaction from the owners of the past "Rafiks" and contributed to the emergence of a whole cohort of fans of the new item. What revolutionary happened in the "veteran of parquet battles"

Appearance

Perhaps, RAV 4 2013 can rightfully be called a “destroyer of stereotypes”. The previous car in design showed rounded lines, compact dimensions and was known as a completely peaceful family crossover. No wonder he is so fond of the fair sex. The newcomer has left almost nothing in himself from its predecessor, ranging from significantly increased dimensions and ending with a sharp and even aggressive design.

The predatory "squint" of headlights with threads of LED running lights in the style of the Toyota Auris hatchback, broken lines in the front bumper, sharp edges of the taillights - all this suggests that the car has become much more "masculine" in appearance. However, it cannot be called unambiguously sporty - the rather heavy silhouette somewhat conceals the dynamism of the body stamping.

Introducing the 2013 Toyota RAV4, Japanese marketers showed in every possible way that from now on they want to shift the focus of the consumer audience into the area of \u200b\u200bcomfort, practicality and "family" characteristics. In many ways, they succeeded.

Interior

The interior of the RAV4 is completely different from the previous generation car. No, the main "highlight" in the form of a "two-story" center console has been preserved, but now the front panel demonstrates manufacturability and geometric precision of lines. Metallized plastic, a comfortable steering wheel and a center console lined with leatherette create the effect of being in a more "status" car. However, design experiments did not affect ergonomics in any way, which, as before, remains one of the best in the class.

Getting into the salon of the new Toyota RAV 4, you immediately notice more comfortable seats and a steering wheel. At the same time, due to the abundance of adjustments, a person of any size can easily sit in the driver's seat. In addition, thanks to the increased wheelbase of the RAV4, which is now 2,660 mm, complete comfort of the rear passengers is provided, and the trunk with a capacity of 506 liters, coupled with the possibility of folding the rear seat, allows you to transport almost any cargo.

It is also important that when designing the RAV 4 in 2013, the engineers paid maximum attention to safety - the most equipped versions offer all conceivable security systems, including those with side airbags and inflatable "curtains" on the side windows.

Specifications

The new generation RAV4 2013 is equipped with three powertrains and the same number of transmission options. The simplest version of the crossover is available with front or all-wheel drive and a two-liter petrol 146-horsepower engine, paired with a six-speed manual or CVT.

• In addition to the "base", a more powerful 2.5-liter 180-horsepower version is available, which is aggregated only with a six-speed "automatic".
• Well, for lovers of diesel versions, a 150-horsepower 2.2-liter diesel engine is perfect, which is also available only with an automatic transmission.
• However, if you look for a new Toyota RAV 4 2013 with front-wheel drive, you will have to take only the "weakest" two-liter version.

Options and prices

Rav4 2013 is already available in the showrooms of Russian dealers. Prices in comparison with the previous generation model have increased slightly, although the car has become significantly larger and more comfortable than its predecessor. In the domestic market for Toyota RAV 4 2013 the price is as follows:

• The surcharge for the metallic color will be 13 thousand rubles.
• Additional payment for the color "mother of pearl" will be 19 thousand rubles.

We first saw the new Raf 4 2013-2014 at a presentation in Los Angeles in 2012. The production of crossovers began back in 1994, 19 years ago, during this time four generations of this car were produced.

The new Rav4 2014 has significantly changed its appearance and interior, it is made in the style of the new Toyota Auris 2. But this applies to the front and rear of the car, but if you look closely at the profile, you can see the similarities with the new Ford Kuga 2013.

As for the overall dimensions of the refreshed 2014 Rav4, it has become longer and wider, which allowed the trunk to be increased to 547 liters, but the ground clearance is lower than that of the previous generation.

• Length: 4,569 mm, 124 mm longer than its predecessor;
• Width: 1,844 mm, 29 mm wider;
• Height: 1,661 mm, 24 mm less than the previous generation;
• Clearance: 190 mm.

According to the manufacturers, the new crossover uses two new types of steel. Due to this, the design of the crossover has become stronger and lighter, the tailgate opens upward, and the spare wheel is attached under the bottom.

Inside the car, the torpedo (panel) has completely changed, it is now focused on the driver and looks flatter. The center console was redesigned, a 6.1-inch multimedia system with a rear-view camera, eight airbags and a new steering wheel were installed.

Raf 4 new 2013-2014 price and configuration

The standard crossover is equipped with a 2.5-liter power unit, which produces 176 horses. All this is transferred to the wheels by a six-speed automatic transmission of the new generation Sequential Shift. The new car will enter the European market with an expanded range of engines, it will be a 2.0 liter engine (150 hp) and 2 diesel units with a 2.0 liter volume (122 hp) and 2.2 (148 hp).

Traditionally, the Japanese crossover has both an all-wheel drive and a front-wheel drive version of the crossover. The new machine is equipped with a modern 4-wheel torque distribution system. In normal mode, when only front-wheel drive is working, the system automatically connects the rear axles when the wheels slip, this significantly saves fuel and maintains wear on the rear axle shafts.

All trim levels will be equipped with an automatic transmission with sport mode. A new feature of the "rafik" when downshifting, double rebasing will be performed.
