Although the official reveal of the all-new Toyota RAV4 is only scheduled for the LA Auto Show that kicks off later this week, first images have now leaked onto the Internet following the earlier release of a teaser video. Featuring sharper, Auris-influenced, styling all-round, the new RAV4 will reach South African dealership within the next four months.
Toyota has been more successful at keeping the technical details secret, but rumours suggest the thirsty V6 engine will not be offered anymore, and that it will be replaced by a four-cylinder unit, potentially 2,5-litres in displacement. A new 2,0-litre turbodiesel engine is also mooted, as is a six-speed automatic transmission.
CAR’s Mike Fourie will be attending the LA Auto Show, so expect more updates soon…
