Under the hood, Toyota's engineers have been busy tweaking the RAV4's mechanicals as the facelift model receives a new 2.0-liter gasoline engine developing 158HP and 196Nm of torque that's hooked up to a 6-speed manual gearbox or optionally, to a newly developed CVT transmission called Multidrive S. Toyota promises that the new 2.O VVT-i engine is not only more powerful but also 5% more fuel efficient that the outgoing 2.0-liter unit it replaces
Toyota has also revised the 2.2 D-4D diesel engine that gains new piezoelectric injectors. The result is a 14-horspower bump to 150HP while torque increases by about 10% to 340 Nm between 2000 and 2800 rpm. The diesel engine is also available with a new Sports Direct Shift 6-speed automatic transmission.
Sales of the revised Toyota RAV4 will begin in Europe in early 2009.

Multe noutati: transmisia automata cu 6 trepte pe motorul 2.2 D4D, volanul sport cu piele perforata, padele sport, jantele sunt foarte reusite fara sa fie exagerate, design schimbat in directia cea buna in fata, culoarea cafea cu lapte excelenta ... numai lucruri bune ... pana cand vom vedea si pretul !
Va concura cu succes Outlander, care pe langa SST va primi si el un facelift in 2009 !
