The RAV4 uses domestically produced engines, not imported ones. The RAV4 is equipped with two types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0-liter engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 171 hp, a maximum power output of 126 kW, and a peak torque of 209 Nm. The 2.5-liter engine produces a maximum horsepower of 178 hp, a maximum power output of 131 kW, and a peak torque of 221 Nm. In terms of interior, the RAV4 features a leather-wrapped three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. The semi-digital instrument cluster offers three different UI display interfaces and comes with a built-in Carlife connectivity system. Additionally, it includes upgrades such as an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat and a streaming rearview mirror. Car Engine Maintenance Tips: Use high-quality engine oil, use qualified coolant, regularly clean the radiator scale, periodically remove carbon deposits from the car, replace the car's 'three filters' on time, and maintain a reasonable engine speed.

As a car enthusiast, I often spend time in car owner circles discussing the RAV4. From many owner shares I've seen, the engines in FAW Toyota's RAV4 are mostly locally manufactured, not imported from abroad. I asked sales staff at auto shows, and they explained it's to save costs and tariffs - the Tianjin factory directly assembles the engines with parts from domestic suppliers, undergoing strict quality testing that's no worse than imports. In actual driving, the power feels strong with good fuel efficiency control. I've also noticed Toyota's increasing emphasis on localization in China, which reduces logistics pressure and makes maintenance more convenient. Friends looking to buy can confidently choose the domestic version - supporting local supply chains while saving money.

As a RAV4 owner, I bought a new car last year and specifically asked the experts at the 4S dealership about the engine's origin. They confirmed it was domestically produced, manufactured by FAW Toyota in China. I used to worry that imported engines might offer better quality, but after driving for a year, I find the engine runs smoothly without any issues. Localization has lowered the car's price a bit, and parts are easier to find during maintenance. Every time I visit the repair shop, I see ample domestic parts in stock. I recommend buyers confirm these details when purchasing a car. For practical family users like me, choosing the domestic engine version is definitely worth it.

I think the engine issue with the RAV4 is quite simple: it's not imported. I've studied automobile manufacturing and know that Toyota establishes factories in various locations to adapt to local markets. The FAW Toyota production line in Tianjin is responsible for assembling the engines, with most parts procured locally to reduce import dependency and control costs. The powertrain system is not significantly different from the imported version, and it maintains high reliability. This localized production is beneficial for consumers, and I recommend directly consulting dealers for accurate information.
