Toyota has opened a new chapter in RAV4's enduring success story with the unveiling of the first RAV4 Hybrid at the New York International Auto Show.
The new RAV4 Hybrid AWD represents the next dimension in Toyota's application of full hybrid technology. Its smooth and efficient powertrain combines a 2.5-litre petrol engine and an electric motor, with an additional motor powering the rear axle to deliver electronic all-wheel drive.
The AWD capability provides greater safety and stability when negotiating low-grip surfaces, It also provides a towing capacity of 1,650kg, with Toyota's Trailer Sway Control system providing added security and peace of mind.
The unveiling of the hybrid coincides with the announcement of the new RAV4 range, which features new exterior styling, improved cabin quality and further deployment of advanced technology and safety features.
RAV4's new frontal design generates a stronger road presence and includes full LED headlights for the first time while there is a new rocker panel that creates a more flowing look by the sides.
RAV4's safety specification is significantly improved with the addition of the new Toyota Safety Sense suite of features. It will further benefit from Adaptive Cruise Control and two significant enhancements to the basic Pre-Collision System functions.
Firstly, the PCS will operate at an extend relative speed range - from 10km/h up to the vehicle's maximum speed - and will be able to reduce speed through automated braking by about 40km/h. Secondly, the system will be able to detect potential collisions with pedestrians, in the event of which automated braking will operate at relative speeds between 10km/h and 80km/h and be able to reduce vehicle speed by about 30km/h.
