MOTORING Toyota Rav4 Even better in 2014 t’s 20 years since Toyota RAV4 created a whole new motoring market with the launch of RAV4, the original compact recreational SUV. While other manufacturers have been keen to follow Toyota’s lead, RAV4 continues to develop and deliver performance, specification and choice that keep pace with changing customer demand. Customers choosing Toyota’s efficient 2.0-litre D-4D diesel engine for their RAV4 have, until now, only had the option of two-wheel drive. For 2014 this popular unit has been made available with allwheel drive, increasing access to 4×4 motoring with the kind of low emissions and strong fuel economy that help keep running costs down. All versions of RAV4 bar the entry level Active model are equipped as standard with the Toyota Touch 2, the latest evolution of Toyota’s touchscreen-operated multimedia system. It comes with a new high-resolution screen that uses four times as many pixels as the original system, for bright, sharp images. The package includes Bluetooth for hands-free I adrian wilson phone calls and sending and receipt of text messages; a rear-view camera; vehicle information, including trip data, climate control profile; and management of settings for door locking and lighting. The leading feature is the full map navigation, with a new screen design that provides clear display of signposts, junctions and lane guidance. A new intuitive detour function uses real-time traffic information to warn of congestion ahead, calculate the likely delay and suggest a suitable alternative route. Plus many other invaluable indications. The 2014 RAV4 is now on sale with an entry price point for the 2.0-litre D-4D 2WD Active model of just £22,195 on-the-road.
