NEW TOYOTA RAV4 APPEARS ON VIDEO

This is the last anticipation before the introduction of the new Toyota RAV4. The fifth generation of the well-known Japanese SUV will debut at the imminent New York Motor Show 2018 as the great news that the brand will show the public and the press that are present at the auto event. After a first image that revealed the profile of the renewed model, now the brand shows part of its front.The new teaser video, which can be seen below, reveals the design that will adopt such relevant elements as grille, optics, antinebline headlights and air intakes. And change is remarkable. Toyota will take advantage of the RAV4 generation change to refurbish this important model at the top of the sales charts in major markets such as the United States.The design of the new Toyota RAV4 will receive a major influence from the Toyota FT-AC Concept presented by the Japanese company late last year during the Los Angeles Salon 2017. It will look grander thanks to the radical changes in its shapes and will leave behind the fluidity that conveys the current design. This will allow the new RAV4 to convey a stronger character.

But in addition to the aesthetic change, which will be remarkable, another major news of the new generation of the Toyota RAV4 is the change of platform. The fifth generation will use the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform the brand is using on all of its new models. This architecture will be crucial in reducing the weight of the vehicle and increasing the space available in the passenger compartment as well as in the trunk.
The mechanical part will also be renewed, using 1.8 and 2.0 liter engines. The first of these is known to be used in models such as the C-HR and the Prius. Hybrid technology and all-wheel drive will once again be a major player in the mechanical offer of the new RAV4. Its commercialization will begin shortly after its debut in the United States.
