About the Toyota RAV4 XA40
The XA40 generation RAV4 marked a significant shift for Toyota's compact SUV, ditching the side-hinged rear door and external spare wheel for a more conventional, aerodynamic profile. The 2016 facelift introduced the model's first hybrid powertrain, combining a 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor to provide a smoother, more efficient alternative to diesel. In Icon trim, it offers a balanced equipment list including Toyota's Touch 2 multimedia system and advanced safety features. While not a performance vehicle, its reliability and low running costs have made it a staple of the modern family car market.
