Toyota has broadened the appeal of its RAV4 range by
launching two-wheel drive (2WD) variants that save customers money and fuel.
Toyota's 2WD RAV4 models, available in CV and Cruiser grades, are priced $3,000 below their
equivalent all-wheel drive models.
The manufacturer's list prices (MLP) start at $28,990* for the 2WD CV model with manual
transmission.
Fuel economy is also a major benefit with the new 2WD variants - slashing at least half a litre from
the consumption of their all-wheel-drive counterparts. Automatic 2WD models use 9.1 litres/100 km**
(down from 9.6) while manual versions achieve 8.4 itres/100 km**, an improvement of 0.7 litres/100
km.
Powering RAV4 2WD is a 2.4 litre VVT-i equipped four-cylinder engine that delivers 125 kW of power
and the choice of manual or automatic transmissions.
The transmissions are exclusive to RAV4 2WD, with revised internal and final-drive ratios to suit
the new models.
Two-wheel drive RAV4 has virtually identical specification levels to the all-wheel-drive 2.4 litre
models.
Standard equipment in both 2WD models include vehicle stability control, traction control and
anti-skid brakes, dual front SRS airbags, 17-inch wheels, electric power steering, air conditioning,
tilt and telescopic steering column adjustment, rear spoiler, USB/Bluetooth compatible audio and (on
automatic transmission models) Downhill Assist Control.
The 2WD CV model is offered with an option pack that adds front-seat side airbags, side
curtain-shield airbags and driver's knee airbag, and front dual-zone climate-control
air-conditioning.
Toyota RAV4 2WD Cruiser has the five additional airbags as standard equipment.
It also gains five-spoke alloy wheels, over-guard flares, roof rails, foglamps and rear and rear
side quarter privacy glass.
