What is the engine model of the RAV4?

As of September 16, 2019, the latest RAV4 model on sale is the 2019 version. Taking the 2019 model as an example, the RAV4 is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The 2.0-liter refers to the vehicle's displacement, and 'inline' represents the arrangement of the cylinders. The 4-cylinder indicates that this engine has a total of 4 cylinders. 2. Naturally aspirated is a type of engine. Currently, the most commonly encountered engine types are naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. Other types include supercharged engines, etc. 3. The full name of the RAV4 is RAV4 Rongfang. It was previously called RAV4, which is an abbreviation of 'Recreational-Active-Vehicle-with-4-wheel-drive,' meaning 'four-wheel-drive recreational and sports vehicle.' In 2016, a mid-cycle facelift model was launched and named RAV4 Rongfang.

I've noticed quite a variety in the RAV4's engine models during actual operations. The mainstream one is the 2.0-liter M20A-FKS naturally aspirated engine, which is mounted on the TNGA platform, delivering about 126 kW of power and 207 Nm of torque. It uses dual injection technology for fuel efficiency, achieving just over 6 liters per 100 km in fuel consumption. Older models might use the 2AR-FE or the 2.5-liter A25A-FKS hybrid version, such as the hybrid system paired with a battery, offering quick power response and being environmentally friendly. When helping friends check out cars, I always remind them to pay attention to the year. Post-2019 new RAV4s are mostly equipped with the M20A-FKS, featuring variable valve timing, simple and cheap maintenance—just regular oil changes—and overall reliability with few faults, providing a smooth and quiet driving experience.

I've been driving the RAV4 for several years, and I remember its engine model is the 2.0L M20A-FKS. Although the acceleration isn't particularly fierce, it's very steady. Overtaking in the city is no problem, and it's quiet during highway cruising. This engine is economical, with a full tank capable of covering 600 kilometers. The hybrid version with the A25A-FKS is even more fuel-efficient, though it comes at a slightly higher price. Toyota's design emphasizes durability, and I've never encountered any engine issues with my car. Just be mindful not to idle for too long to avoid draining the battery, and regularly check the spark plugs. What stands out most in daily use is the low noise and quick response, especially when climbing hills in mountainous areas—the power output is even without sudden jerks or stalling, making it easy for beginners to handle.

The RAV4's engine commonly seen now is the 2.0L model called M20A-FKS, which is equipped in most base trim vehicles. It drives quite smoothly without too much complex technology interference, making it perfectly sufficient for daily use. With low fuel consumption, it can run over 500 kilometers in urban areas, and maintenance is simple—just changing the engine oil and filter. When I bought it, I specifically researched this model because choosing the right engine affects long-term experience, and its high reliability makes the Toyota brand trustworthy. Some higher-end versions come with the hybrid engine A25A-FKS, which is more energy-efficient and fuel-saving, but also costs more. In short, make sure to clarify the model year and configuration when choosing a car to avoid being misled by salespeople.
