2006 Toyota RAV4 Overview

Introduction

The RAV4 is all new, with more power, more room, and more seats. The presentation is seamless, the driving pleasurable and the packaging delivered with the usual Toyota aplomb.

The RAV4 comes in three trim levels, all with four doors: base, Sport and Limited. All three start with front-wheel drive and the same 2.4-liter, 166-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic transmission. All three can be upgraded to the 3.5-liter, 269-horsepower V6 with a new five-speed automatic. Full-time four-wheel drive is available across the line. Safety features include dual-stage frontal airbags, LATCH child safety seat anchors, antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control and traction control. However, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags are optional on all three models.

The Toyota RAV4 has been completely re-designed for 2006.
