Toyota Unveils All-New RAV4

Brussels, Belgium- Toyota Motor Corporation., has unveiled the latest evolution of the RAV4, featuring a significantly enhanced plug-in hybrid system, a dynamic new GR SPORT trim, and cutting-edge technology upgrades.

At the core of the new RAV4 is Toyota’s next-generation plug-in hybrid system, designed to deliver superior performance and efficiency. A newly developed high-capacity 22.7 kWh lithium-ion battery provides an extended all-electric driving range of up to 100 km. Fast charging is supported via a 50 kW DC onboard charger, ensuring greater convenience and reduced downtime.

The new RAV4 also incorporates the latest Toyota Safety Sense suite for advanced driver assistance, along with a refined multimedia system that offers a more intuitive and connected user experience.

The GR SPORT variant adds a sportier edge to the lineup, blending performance-oriented styling with the efficiency of Toyota’s advanced hybrid technology.

The new battery pack combines with an improved front motor – which now delivers 150 kW, a 16 kW increase – to achieve powerful acceleration. Intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD-i) specification boasts class-leading total power output of 304 DIN hp, contributing to an exhilarating 0-100 km/h time of 5.8 seconds.

This has been accomplished by incorporating the DC converter into the power control unit (PCU), which has been downsized and integrated into the transaxle.

GR SPORT

The all-new RAV4 delivers a more dynamic driving experience and a sophisticated motorsports-inspired character in GR SPORT specification.

A 20 mm wider tread combines with a high-performance damper design, strengthened rear suspension brace and dedicated retuning of the suspension and power steering for a more stable, engaging drive. Lightweight 20-inch black alloy wheels – in exclusive five-unit, twin-spoke GR SPORT design – also contribute to optimised air flow.

An eye-catching and sporty first impression is generated by a distinctive “functional matrix” grille design finished in the GR-exclusive hexagonal G-mesh pattern, which creates a deeper 3D effect.

Advanced software enables new safety technology

Arene enables the latest Toyota T-Mate systems, including a new generation of Toyota Safety Sense, which is introduced for the very first time. This delivers a more comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistance tools as standard, performing faster than ever before.

Front Cross Traffic Alert is a new feature for the all-new RAV4. It protects the vehicle from crossing traffic at busy junctions, by detecting vehicles passing in front and issuing a visual alert before activating an audible warning if a high risk of collision is anticipated
