What are the body dimensions of the Toyota RAV4?
2 Answers
The length, width, and height of the Toyota RAV4 are 4600mm/1855mm/1680mm, which are official data. The length of the Toyota RAV4 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two parallel planes touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle, parallel to the longitudinal symmetry plane. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The naturally aspirated engine of the Toyota RAV4 has a maximum power of 126kW and a maximum torque of 209Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6600 rpm and its maximum torque between 4400-5000 rpm. It features in-cylinder direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is designed to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking to prevent accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
I've been driving a Toyota RAV4 for several years. The body dimensions are approximately 4600mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1680mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690mm. This size is quite practical – parking in the city isn't too difficult, though you need to be a bit careful in narrow alleys. When driving, the height provides good visibility, and the small turning radius makes it agile to handle, while remaining stable at highway speeds. The trunk space is spacious enough for two suitcases and a bunch of miscellaneous items, making weekend trips comfortable for the whole family. However, dimensions may vary slightly across different model years – for example, newer versions are slightly longer, which might better suit a sportier style. Overall, as a family SUV, it strikes a good balance in size – not too big, not too small – offering both safety and comfort, and it's very easy to drive.
