The Toyota RAV4 ( Japan: ??? RAV4 , Toyota Ravuf? ) is a compact crossover SUV (sport utility vehicle) manufactured by Japanese car manufacturer Toyota. This is the first compact crossover SUV; it debuted in Japan and Europe in 1994, and in North America in 1995. The vehicle is designed for consumers who want a vehicle that has most of the benefits of SUVs, such as increased cargo space, higher visibility, and full-time four-time drive wheels, along with maneuverability and fuel economy of compact cars. Although not all RAV4 is four-wheel-drive, RAV4 stands for "Vehicle Recreational Activity: 4 wheel drive", because the above mentioned equipment is a choice in certain countries.
In most markets, the RAV4 is the only compact SUV or crossover available from Toyota. In other markets, it is a crossover partner of the Toyota FJ Cruiser.
For third-generation models, Toyota offers both short and long-wheelbase versions of RAV4. The short wheelbase version is sold in Japan and Europe; long wheelbase version in Australia and North America. Toyota Japan also sells longer wheelbase version as Toyota Vanguard ( Japan: ???????? , Toyota Vang? do ) , at the Toyopet Store location. The Japanese version is sold at two different Toyota Japan dealers, called the Toyota Corolla Store and Toyota NETZ Store.

Second generation (XA20; 2000-2005)
The second generation, XA20 RAV4 series went on sale in July 2000. Like the previous model, XA20 is available in three and five-door configurations and is built on a platform that shares elements of Carina and Corolla. Construction began in 1995, with a frozen design in the first half of 1998. Styling was performed at Calty Design Research Incorporated (also known only as Calty) by Yasuhide Hosoda and Kevin Hunter from 1996 to 1997.
The second generation RAV4 was initially offered in a number of trim levels in the UK: NV is a front-wheel drive, while the NRG, GX, and VX are permanent four-wheel drive with various levels of equipment. Although the RAV4 is available as three doors in Europe, Asia and Australia, the American model is now only available in a five-door configuration. The 1.8-liter four-line engine (with only 2WD) produces 92 kW (123 hp, 125 PS), 2.0 liter inline-four engines that produce 110 kW (150 hp, 150 PS), 2.4-liter inline-four engines which produces 118 kW (158 hp, 160 PS), and a D-4D diesel engine is available. Some of the RAV4 comes with an anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control, air conditioning, adjustable height seats, cruise control, six speaker CD stereo and power windows, mirrors and seats. The sports package adds mesh grilles, bonnet covers, colorful door handles, roof racks, silver sports pedals, heated mirrors, gray-painted bumpers and flare fenders, and sports cloth chairs. Other options include alloy wheels, hot chairs, sunroof and keyless entry. The 16 inch wheels are standard; larger tires are available on all-wheel-drive models.
In Australia, the RAV4 comes with an Edge and Cruiser upper-class model in three and five-door configurations. The main differentiation between the two models is in appearance. The edge model comes with unpainted gray bumpers and side linings, mirrors, and door handles, and steel rims. Cruiser models get bumpers and colored body molds (painted), mirrors, and door handles, wheels, and ABS brakes. All models are equipped with a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine featuring VVT (variable valve timing), resulting in increased power and torque, as well as fuel consumption. Permanent all-wheel-drive is a feature. The options are ABS brakes (in Edge), and AC (on all models). The second generation of RAV4 enjoys success in Australia, where it became the country's best-selling SUV in 2001, surpassing its competitors, the Honda CR-V, for the first time.
By the end of 2003, the 2004 RAV4 model was updated with styling, enhanced equipment, and, in certain markets, new machines. In the United States the security structure is enhanced and Vehicle Stability Control is standardized. The 2.0-liter RAV4 engine is upgraded with a new 2.4-liter engine, producing 120 kW (160 hp, 160 PS) and 220 N? M (162 lb. Ft). Electric AC is also available in Europe.
In Australia, for facelift, Basic Edge is renamed to CV, and obtains standard AC (formerly an option). The CV also receives painted bumpers, which come in silver or body color, depending on body color. In addition, various models were given a delicate facelift, mostly consisting of a new front bumper with circular fog lamps and a white turn signal instead of older orange lights. In 2005, a new "CV Sport" model was added to the range in Australia, which included a non-functional bonnet spoon, giving the RAV4 a more aggressive appearance. The CV Sport model was short-lived, lasting just one year, and was introduced primarily to stimulate sales until a new model arrived in early 2006.
In particular, the second generation RAV4 has the highest proportion of female drivers among all brands and models in the United States with the possible exception of Volkswagen New Beetle, according to the 2003-2004 enrollment and survey data.

Third generation (XA30; 2005-2012)
Toyota RAV4 was redesigned for the 2006 model, using the all-new platform and was first introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2005. The new RAV4 uses the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system.
The third generation RAV4 is offered in two versions: a short model or a long wheelbase. The short wheelbase model is only sold in Japan, Europe and New Zealand (only in NZ), with RAV4 long wheelbase sold in Australia, New Zealand and North America. Since 2007, the extended RAV4 is also sold along with its shorter counterpart in Japan as the Toyota Vanguard , although with revised front-end bodywork incorporating revised grille, bumper, bonnet and headlights.
Japanese models went on sale in 2005 at Toyota NETZ dealers. 3 doors were dropped in early 2007, leaving Toyota without a mini SUV until the 2009 Toyota Cruiser Urban, sold in Europe, North America (like Scion xD) and Japan (like Toyota ist). The XA30 RAV4 Series is sold in Japan until July 2016, where XA40 is not offered and replaced there by Toyota C-HR. Toyota stopped Vanguard in November 2013 to support the redesigned XU60 Harrier. As the RAV4 continues to grow, it becomes expensive to own in Japan because the exterior dimensions and engine displacement place it in the top tax bracket as defined by Japanese Government dimensions regulations and annual road tax liabilities, and C-HR becomes more affordable.
It is also the first generation RAV4 to be offered on a regular basis (for Asian and European markets, dropping wheel spare from the rear) and expanding (for North American and Australian market) versions. The extended RAV4 length is 21% larger in the interior volume of the last generation and now has the third row seat available for two small children (North America and Japan only). RAV4 can still be owned in front of wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive in North America and Japan; But most countries only sell all-wheel-drive versions.
In 2008 (for the 2009 model year), the RAV4 was refreshed mid-cycle in multiple markets, featuring a number of changes, including a new 4-cylinder engine, and a redesigned front end and a tweaked rear. The Limited model gets a front grille and a bumper cover that is different from other models. The Sport model features a larger red spoiler and fade along with an option on the V6 model to have a back door with no externally mounted external tires (run-flat tires used on this model). New features/options include turn signal integrated into side mirror, backup camera (with monitor mounted in rearview mirror), satellite navigation, smart keyless entry, starter push button, multi-function instrument cluster display etc. Much of the interior remains the same. In 2009, it was also the first time for the Canadian market to have a 2WD model sold in Canada.
In 2011 (for the 2012 model year), the RAV4 has another, light, facelift.
The vehicle was built at Tahara Toyota, Aichi assembly plant, and under contract by Toyota Industries at Nagakusa plant, Obu, Aichi. Starting November 2008, vehicles for the North American market were built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc., the Second Factory. Starting in March 2009, Chinese models began to be produced by Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co. Ltd. at a joint venture in Tianjin, China.
By 2015, the XA30 RAV4 series was awarded the pre-owned WheelsTV vehicle of the year title.

Keamanan
In the evaluation of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the 2013 and 2014 RAV4 models achieve a "good" congestion rating for moderate head and seat restraints, roof strength, side and front, while achieving a "poor" rating in Small Frontal Overlap Test IIHS. Mods are made starting from the 2015 model year which improves the small overlapping front rank to "good".
Small overlap test, introduced in 2012 by the IIHS, simulating a frontal collision at 25 percent of the driver's side. Since its adoption, IIHS has seen some cars make non-symmetrical modifications to their vehicles, including the RAV4. Other small overlap test carried out on a number of vehicles, including the RAV4 in 2015, but carried on the passenger side instead. The RAV4 fared worst and will receive a "poor" rating if IIHS is to provide ratings for passenger side protection. Disorders crash testing is 330 mm (13 inches) further into the vehicle on the passenger side than on the driver's side and cause the passenger door open during the accident.
