What are the dimensions of the RAV4?

RAV4 body dimensions are 4600mm, 1855mm, and 1680mm, with a wheelbase of 2690mm. Below is the relevant introduction: Powertrain: FAW Toyota RAV4 offers models with 2.0L and 2.4L displacement engines, both utilizing Toyota's VVT-i technology, delivering maximum power of 110kW and 125kW respectively, and providing maximum torque of 192 N·m and 224 N·m at 4000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Safety: The RAV4 is equipped with 6 airbags, including front dual SRS airbags, side SRS airbags, and side curtain airbags.
Last time I specifically measured the dimensions of the RAV4 at the 4S dealership, as space is crucial for my family with elderly and children. The car is about 4600mm long, which is 4.6 meters, and the trunk can easily fit two 28-inch suitcases plus a stroller. The width is approximately 1855mm, around 1.85 meters, allowing three adults to sit in the back without feeling too cramped. The height varies by configuration: the standard version is under 1.7 meters, while the hybrid version is slightly taller. The 2690mm wheelbase provides ample legroom in the rear. Compared to the CR-V, it’s 3cm shorter but wider, making it easier to park than the Highlander—just be cautious with low-height barriers in parking garages; I usually lower the sunroof in advance. For family trips, this size is just right: the trunk is spacious without being too bulky for turning.
For daily commuting with the RAV4, size impacts driving the most. At 4.6 meters long, navigating narrow alleys requires skill, but its 5.5-meter turning radius allows U-turns in one go. The 1.85-meter width ensures stable lane changes, though caution is needed when passing in older neighborhoods. The hybrid version stands 1.72 meters tall (1.68m for standard), offering better visibility than sedans. Watch for underground parking height limits—my complex's 1.8-meter clearance just fits. The 55L fuel tank suits this size perfectly, requiring refueling every two weeks for city commutes. Measured wheelbase of 1560mm during car washes makes it more stable over speed bumps than sedans, though the longer body demands extra maneuvers for parallel parking.
The new RAV4 is 30mm wider and 15mm lower than the previous model, now with a drag coefficient of 0.31. The ground clearance is 193mm, preventing underbody scraping on rough roads. The trunk offers 580 liters of space, expandable to 1680 liters with seats folded—last week I fit a full set of camping gear inside. The front and rear overhang lengths affect approach and departure angles, but the off-road mode is sufficient. The roof rack has a 50kg weight limit; be mindful of height when loading cargo to avoid tree branch scratches. It comes with 225/60 R18 tires—calculate wheel arch clearance carefully when switching to AT tires.
