Modernised and bolder-styled SUV is a big improvement on its predecessors.
The new Rav4 is lower, wider and more eye-catching than ever, and built on a new platform.The new Toyota Rav4 is aimed at people who've severed ties with the Corolla but seek something that's practical for families and has almost limitless access to remote areas.
Built on a completely new stiffer but lighter platform, it's been trimmed 5mm upfront and 30mm at the rear, effectively making the new car 35mm shorter than the model it replaces. The results are shorter overhangs and a design that hides its large size very well, while unlocking an increase in wheelbase by some 30mm over the old car to open up more interior space.
It has good enough poke and poise, and a deeply satisfying and cushy ride quality. In the corners it's well balanced, turns in keenly and also rides nicely on both smooth and bad surfaces.
