Toyota RAV4 Overview

The RAV4 comes in three trim levels, all with four doors: base, Sport and Limited. All three start with front-wheel drive and the same 2.4-liter, 166-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic transmission. All three can be upgraded to the 3.5-liter, 269-horsepower V6 with a new five-speed automatic. Full-time four-wheel drive is available across the line. Safety features include dual-stage frontal airbags, LATCH child safety seat anchors, antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control and traction control. However, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags are optional on all three models.

The Toyota RAV4 has been completely re-designed for 2006.
