The New York Auto Show, held in April 2015, was the site of the official premiere updated SUV Toyota RAV4 4th generation in market specification North America, but the car of the “2016 model year” appeared before the European public a little later - at the September bride in Frankfurt.
Prettier externally, the model was separated by a lot of new things, including: previously inaccessible equipment, better finishing materials and modern security systems.
The appearance of the RAV 4 updated by 2016 is made in the current design direction of the Toyota brand, and its front part looks most impressive and bold - a sharp look of lighting equipment (optionally - fully LED), a narrow strip of the radiator grille and a bumper truncated with sharp edges with a large air intake area.
A swift appearance with sloping roof contours, a window sill line tending upwards and “muscular” wheel arches gives the car sportiness, but the feed with LED “strokes” of lights and a huge trunk lid is somewhat dissonant with the rest of the “body parts” due to visual heaviness.
The overall dimensions of the Toyota RAV4 still fit into the parameters of the "compact" class (although they are already very close to the "mid-size"): length - 4605 mm, height - 1670 mm, width - 1845 mm, distance between the axles - 2660 mm.
In running order, the crossover weighs from 1575 to 1715 kg, depending on the modification, and its ground clearance does not exceed 197 mm.
The interior of the Toyota RAV4 looks modern and attractive, and premium features from Lexus can be traced in its design. A three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel, a beautiful “toolkit” with an information “board” with a diagonal of 4.2 inches and a stylish front panel with a two-story architecture - inside the crossover is fully consistent with current fashion trends. The top of the center console is occupied by a 6.1-inch multimedia complex monitor, and a microclimate unit is located on the tide.
Cabin decoration "RAV4-4½" accommodates the driver and four adult riders. Comfortable chairs are installed in front with well-developed support on the sides and a pillow optimal in length. In the back row there is a wide sofa with an adjustable backrest and big amount space in all directions.
Luggage space Japanese crossover is 506 liters, taking into account a non-full-size spare wheel and two niches for small things in the "cellar". The back of the "gallery" is laid flush with the floor in two asymmetric parts (60 to 40), and the capacity increases to 1705 liters. In addition, all versions of the machine are equipped with a mesh "hammock" for the transport of especially valuable goods.
Specifications. For the fourth generation Toyota RAV4, there are three engines, three gearbox options and two types of drive:
- In "base" engine compartment the car is occupied by a 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder "aspirated" with port injection, timing chain drive and system Dual VVT-i issuing 146 Horse power at 6200 rpm and 187 Nm of peak torque at 3600 rpm.
In combination with it, a 6-speed "mechanics" or stepless CVT variator, front or all-wheel drive. Depending on the modification, "RAV 4" exchanges the first "hundred" after 10.2-11.3 seconds and on average requires 7.4-7.8 liters of fuel in mixed mode, "maximum" in all cases is limited at around 180 km / h. - For the "top" versions, a 2.5-liter gasoline unit with four "pots", a 16-valve DOHC timing belt with a chain drive and Dual VVT-i technology is assigned. Its maximum output is 180 "horses" at 6000 rpm and 233 Nm of torque at 4100 rpm.
This engine is only supposed to have a 6-band "automatic" and all-wheel drive transmission, resulting in the conquest of 100 km / h in the car takes 9.4 seconds, the peak capacity is 180 km / h, and the fuel “appetite” does not exceed 8.6 liters in combined conditions. - Available in the "RAV 4" and "diesel" palette - this is a 2.2-liter engine with a 16-valve timing, a turbocharger with variable geometry nozzles, as well as injection technology common rail. In the bins of such a power plant, there are 150 “horses” at 3600 rpm and 340 Nm of torque generated in the range from 2000 to 2800 rpm.
Like the "senior" petrol version, diesel is available exclusively with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It takes 10 seconds for such a crossover to sprint to 100 km / h, its “maximum speed” reaches 185 km / h, and the consumption of “diesel fuel” is 6.7 liters in the combined cycle.
The upgraded fourth-generation Toyota RAV4 is equipped with plug-in all-wheel drive technology with a multi-plate clutch in the wheel drive rear axle. IN standard conditions movement, the entire traction reserve goes to the front, but if necessary, up to 50% of the traction can be transferred back. In addition, the multi-plate clutch has the ability forced blocking(at speeds up to 40 km / h), so that the potential is constantly divided between the axles in equal shares.
This off-road vehicle is based on the Toyota MC platform with a load-bearing body structure and a transversely placed power unit. Chassis The crossover is expressed by a completely independent design: in front - McPherson struts, in the back - a multi-link layout.
Steering gear rack type supplemented as standard electric amplifier fluctuating controls.
On all wheels of the "Japanese" are based disk braking devices(on the front with ventilation) with ABS systems, EBD and BAS.

The most "fancy" performance boasts: LED headlights, 18-inch rims, a multimedia system, panoramic cameras, a dual-zone “climate”, leather upholstery, “music” with six speakers, monitoring of “blind” zones, a traffic sign recognition system and a bunch of other “gadgets”.
The first modified Toyota Rav 4 2016 was presented last year as part of the New York Auto Show. If before we could see this car only in the photo, but now it is sold in Russia. The official start of sales was scheduled for October 15, that is, six months from the date of presentation. The company initially decided on the modifications that will be sold on the territory of our country. In addition, the exact prices for each type of restyled version were announced, depending on the configuration. No less important, the Toyota plant, located near St. Petersburg, began serial assembly last year. In the presented review, the key changes to which this model has been subjected will be considered.
Changes in appearance
It is impossible to say that restyling has radically changed this car. Yes, the crossover has a fresher look, but it can still be compared to its counterparts from yesteryear. Despite the new body, they decided to leave the profile the same, adding some new design details. The dimensions of the rims, as well as the wheels themselves, are similar to the previous ones.
Perhaps the most significant change in the body is the principle of opening the tailgate. Even if it's a crossover, a solid SUV simply has to have a door that opens up, and this has long been a trend. But in the case of the RAV4, the engineers were a little late, because only now it was decided to change the principle of opening the door.
Another key change concerns the optics. In models from two years ago, the rear and headlights do not really stand out against the background of the body. But now, based on the new design, more attention is focused on them, which was immediately noticeable at the time of the release of the first photos of this model. Stoplights, clearance and daytime running lights use LED optics. The decision is quite logical, it seems familiar. But given the well-thought-out design, drivers of other cars will easily notice the actions of the owner of Toyota Rav 4 2016. Xenon lamps are used for headlights. 
Changes in the cabin RAV 4 2016
In the same way as in the case of the exterior, they decided not to change the interior drastically. In the photo you can see that the proportions remained the same. The only difference is that finishing materials are now much better, more durable. The developers have repeatedly studied specialized forums in which the salon of previous generations was discussed. After lengthy discussions, it was decided to use a more pleasant, soft-touch material. Around dashboard also changed the finish. The interior design has also undergone a number of other, but less significant changes. Even in the photo they are not immediately noticeable. 
The designers decided to change the MID monitor located on the console. It provides full information about the car - pressure in cylinders, fuel consumption and much more. Now its diagonal has increased to 4.2 inches. present and updated multimedia system, which has a touch display, as well as a large number of functionalities. 
Since the 2016 RAV 4 has a new body, the internal volume of the cabin has been increased in reality, and not just visually. The reason for this is the increase in size vehicle. Regardless of the configuration, inside the driver will be even freer. The reason for this is the replacement of the front seat backs with new, more technologically advanced ones. Their thickness has decreased. If you get rid of the second row of seats, you can get a spacious luggage compartment with a volume of two cubic meters. 
The salon was made even more isolated from noise and extraneous sounds. Soundproof materials now they do not regret, and most importantly, such a decision did not affect the final prices in any way. Compared to the previous representatives of the RAV4 family, the thickness of the soundproofing layer has increased by one and a half times.
Dimensions
As a result of tangible changes that are clearly visible in the photo, the car has increased in size. Now the parameters are:
- Length: 4605 mm;
- Width: 1845 mm;
- Height (not including roof rails): 1670 mm;
- Height (including installed roof rails): 1715 mm;
- Wheelbase: 2260 mm;
- Landing height (clearance): 197 mm.
At the moment, the car is a full-fledged competitor for such crossovers as Suzuki Vitara, Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail. 
Options Toyota RAV 4 2016
Choosing the most optimal configuration is quite simple - just look at the photo to see the main differences between them. IN dealer centers, as a rule, several instances will be presented at once with different configuration. Therefore, the question of choice should not be too difficult. Russian motorists got good news- Toyota Rav 4 2016 model year will be sold in six versions. This:
- classic;
- standard;
- comfort;
- elegance;
- prestige;
- Prestige Safety.
These varieties are sorted based on the final price (in ascending order). Being the cheapest, the Classic version has quite good performance. A two-liter engine and a six-position manual gearbox are installed here. The standard package includes a number of other solutions - updated optics with LED elements, air conditioning, additional heating interior, a large number of airbags, electric drive for exterior mirrors (heated, by the way), electric lift for each glass. More expensive equipment provide for the presence of a more advanced multimedia system, parking sensors, leather upholstery. Having considered all the configurations in the photo, you can see that any option, regardless of its cost, is good option not only for family trips or travel, but also for doing business. The salon is designed in such a way as to provide the maximum possible comfort at a relatively low cost. 
Varieties of available engines
The power units used to equip crossover modifications that are sold in Russia provide three options at once:
- two liter Gas engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission, can send up to 146 horsepower to the wheels. This unit is designed specifically for front-wheel drive. As required, a potential buyer can choose the option with all-wheel drive and a stepless variator;
- The 2.5-liter engine has all-wheel drive only, sending its power through a six-speed automatic transmission. Max Power is 180 horsepower. Models with this engine running separately on the rear or front wheel drive No;

The cost may increase not only depending on the configuration, but also due to the choice of additional options.

conclusions

The 2016 Toyota Rav 4, whose photo can already be seen on the network in the public domain, pleasantly surprised fans of elegant, but rather massive SUVs.
While creating fourth generation Japanese SUV, the main emphasis was placed on the wide use of new materials and technologies. And the designers did a good job so that the crossover had bright features sports car.
It should be noted that this large car has become lighter by almost 10%. This result was achieved through the use of composite materials in the body structure.
I was also surprised by the hybrid version of the SUV, capable of delivering 190 hp, with a fuel consumption of 4.4 liters. per 100 km. Innovative engine was borrowed from a similar Lexus model. Therefore, for many, Toyota has grown significantly in the eyes of a car of a prestigious class.
The exterior of the new Toyota Rav 4 2016
As noted earlier, the exterior of the new version of the crossover has pronounced lines. sports car. The most noticeable changes are noted in the front of the body.
- The shape of the front bumper and the entire bow as a whole has changed a lot.
- The appearance of the car has become more expressive due to the new head optics. Both the front and rear lights have acquired sharp, pronounced shapes.
- All stuffing lighting for everything model range xenon already in basic equipment. All lights are LED, from the head optics to the backlight.
- The tailgate now opens up, like all new SUVs this class.
- The fog lights have an unusual concept, they are located at a great distance from each other and immediately attract attention with an expressive form.
- The radiator grille is made quite elegantly and repeats the shape of the hood cover.
The general profile of the car as a whole was not affected. This also applies to the size of wheels and rims. Therefore, looking at the car from the side, it is quite difficult to notice that it belongs to a restyled version.
It should be noted that sports trends in design were reflected in general view this version of Toyota. She now looks more aggressive than previous models, leading the way on the road.
Interior
Previously, experts noted that for a car of this class, the SUV had too simple interior design. The creators of the 2016 Toyota RAV 4 lineup eliminated this defect, and now you can see expensive materials in the cabin, compared with previous models. The diversity of their use is also noted. If desired, the client himself can choose the materials for the upholstery of the seats and those from which the panels will be made.
Torpedo has increased in size, the steering wheel has an expanded set of functions. Electronic stuffing became more thorough, the creators of the new version tried to use all the fashionable novelties for smart cars. All instruments are brighter and more readable.
The diagonal of the new monitor is 4.2 inches. Rear parking sensors, updated multimedia system, electronic review camera, installed program navigation - all included in standard set basic car configuration.
modified seats for rear passengers should be given Special attention. Now their backs have a smaller thickness, and the free space in the rear of the cabin has increased significantly. If the backrests are lowered, the trunk volume will be 2000 liters.

Price for Toyota RAV 4 2016
This vehicle has been on sale since November 21, 2015. It is already known that the most budgetary modification will cost approximately 1,099,000 rubles. For the top model, the buyer will give 1,900,000 rubles. This car will be assembled in St. Petersburg. In the hybrid version in our Toyota market, hybrid version will appear in January 2016.
For more than 20 years, the Japanese corporation Toyota has been producing compact crossover RAV4, and by now it has managed to turn into something special, firmly rooted in the minds of people, as a reliable and trustworthy car. And not just a car, but real passable car, absolutely suitable not only for city trips, but also for cross-country driving. The restyling of 2016, which will be discussed, helped her to become even better. Here we will talk about what specifically has changed as a result of the update, and what is generally interesting about the restyled model, whose assembly is adjusted to Toyota factory in St. Petersburg.
Design
During the modernization, the number of body color options for the RAV4 increased to 9, the radiator grille narrowed, completely new LED headlights with DRLs and a massive front bumper with trapezoidal air intakes, the exterior mirrors added a little in length, and the fog optics in triangular niches retained their round shape. On the door sills are still plastic pads that allow you not to get your feet dirty when leaving the car. 
The taillights have remained at their old dimensions and finally got trendy LED lines. At the "stern" there are also additional stamped body parts that make the "skirt" rear bumper more harmonious. All innovations have created a slightly aggressive image - just a little to show that updated crossover still intended mainly for the city and light off-road. One cannot but agree that if Toyota designers wanted to emphasize the off-road nature of the model, they would at least equip it with a 6-corner cladding in the spirit of Highlander or Land cruiser 200.
Design
RAV4 2016 is based on the improved platform of the previous version. The layout is the same: in front - MacPherson struts, in the back - multi-link suspension. The distance between the axles of the wheels is the same as that of the extended five-door of the 3rd generation. Thanks to the restyling, the stabilizers have become wider and the stiffness of the shock absorbers, springs and silent blocks has been adjusted again.
Adaptation to Russian conditions
The Japanese "SUV" is more or less ready to conquer the Russian expanses. Firstly, because its ground clearance is almost 20 cm, and secondly, because a plug-in all-wheel drive (Part-time 4wd) with a two-stage transfer case, providing a choice different modes driving, depending on traffic situation. Mode rear wheel drive H2 suitable for normal conditions driving on smooth asphalt and helps reduce fuel appetite, and the H4 all-wheel drive mode in high gear is optimal for driving on slippery surface and provides excellent grip on the road. But for heavy off-road, if you really have to get out of it, the L4 all-wheel drive mode in low gear is suitable. The suspension of the new RAV4 is reliable enough for operation in our country: it is not afraid of serious blows and does not allow the car to “collect small things”. On a relatively flat surface, the ride is excellent, and only on provincial “patchwork” roads does it, unfortunately, leave much to be desired. Crossover buyers expect two more news. The good thing is that its engines consume 92-octane gasoline without any problems, and the essence of the bad thing is poor sound insulation, and this despite the increase in the area of soundproofing coatings by 55%. The harsh Russian winter for RAV4 2016 is not a hindrance, since everything that is possible is heated in it, and to be more precise, the front and rear seats, steering wheel, windshield(heating with filaments), exterior mirrors and windshield washer nozzles. In addition, there is an additional electric heater salon.
Comfort
In the interior, first of all, the finish has improved: the materials have become better and more premium. Fabric, leather and silver plastic are used for decoration. On inside doors and front panel - nice soft plastic. The steering wheel, sheathed in leather, pleases with ergonomic influxes and competent placement of the multimedia control keys and on-board computer, but at the same time, the buttons for heating the steering wheel, blocking the all-wheel drive and the electric drive of the trunk lid are inconveniently located behind it. In addition, the location of the main buttons (including those responsible for seat heating) is not very appropriate - they are not visible at all behind the massive upper part of the dashboard, and in order to search for them, the driver needs to be distracted every time. After the update, the design of the air ducts on the front panel and the lever has also changed slightly. automatic box gears. There are two glass holders, and in the front one a mug with a handle is now placed. The eyeglass case “registered” right under the windshield. 
The instrument panel is brand new, with a 4.2-inch color screen and Hyundai blue backlight. "Tidy" is quite informative and readable, but it is not clear why it needs a constant indication of the included parking sensors. The chairs of the first row are very comfortable, "dense", and have developed lateral support. Even in an expensive configuration, they are trimmed with textiles, which, however, is more comfortable in hot weather than skin that quickly heats up in the sun. The rear sofa is also comfortable: the rear passengers have a large amount of legroom, a flat floor without a transmission tunnel and a tilt-adjustable backrest that allows you to choose correct position for both back and legs.
Systems package active safety RAV4 Toyota safety sense supplemented by three electronic assistants - a frontal impact prevention system with auto-brake function, cruise control with a support function safe distance to the vehicle in front and a traffic sign recognition system. We remind you that in addition to this, the Toyota Safety Sense package includes systems for automatically switching high beams to low beams and warnings about leaving the lane. Parking is now much easier, as a simple rear-view camera has been replaced with a full-fledged 360-degree video review. With the help of 4 wide-angle lenses of this system, you can view up to 8 "pictures" of different plans. In this regard, the RAV4 follows the same path as the facelifted flagship Toyota Land Cruiser 200.
The equipment of the RAV4 2016 includes the Toyota Touch 2 branded infotainment complex. The complex is equipped with a seven-inch color touch screen with an intuitive interface and a USB port for connecting a smartphone or tablet. The system also has Bluetooth and Hands-free calling features. speakerphone, sending SMS messages and listening to your favorite music without interrupting the driving process. The quality of sound and telephone communication - on the "five".
