2 Answers
The Toyota RAV4 is equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power output of 126kW and a maximum torque of 209Nm. In terms of the transmission system, the 2.0L engine is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The 2.5L engine delivers a maximum power of 178kW and is matched with an eCVT continuously variable transmission. The Toyota RAV4 has dimensions of 4570mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1715mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. It has a minimum ground clearance of 195mm and a curb weight of 1420kg.
I think the commonly used engine in the Toyota RAV4 is the 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, such as the Dynamic Force model, which outputs over 200 horsepower. The hybrid version combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor, boosting the output to 219 horsepower, with fuel consumption as low as 5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it particularly fuel-efficient for city driving. The Prime plug-in hybrid adds pure electric range, capable of reaching around 70 kilometers. These engines are all highly efficient and reliable, equipped with intelligent variable valve technology, offering quick acceleration response and good noise control. I've driven the RAV4 multiple times, and the overall smoothness of the engine is excellent. The recommended maintenance cycle is an oil change every 8,000 kilometers, using full synthetic oil to avoid premature wear. When choosing the RAV4, the hybrid system is more environmentally friendly and, in the long run, has lower maintenance costs.
