So, we can infer that the Russian-built and Japanese-built RAV4 most likely have similar levels of quality. The factory that makes these vehicles is located in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Also check our article about 5 differences between Toyota and Lexus. Toyota does not intend to move production of the RAV4. Even in the past, Toyota did not shift production from one factory to another.
Instead, it expanded production of the RAV4 to several other countries. It seemed to follow suit with the safety rating, except the new RAV was failing a different test. The new RAV received an acceptable mark in the moderate front overlap, which was better than the previous marginal mark.
However, it now received the worst grade offered by the IIHS in the side crash test , a grade of poor. However, for those who chose the optional side airbags in , that mark would improve from the bottom of the class to the top with a grade of good. In an effort to prevent crashes, Toyota made their vehicle stability control standard in As for reliability, the RAV4 could simply not achieve the greatness of its predecessor. It received over complaints for each model year as opposed to the previous 60, according to the NHTSA.
Also, the RAV 2. The third-generation RAV4 came with several firsts. It was the first RAV4 to not be built on a platform that shared elements with the Corolla and the Carina. Third-row seating and a new hp V6 engine would now be optional on the RAV4. This would also be the first RAV4 without an optional manual transmission, the four-cylinder engine received a four-speed transmission and the six-cylinder was mated to a five-speed transmission.
However, Toyota kept the hp 2. Standard features for the Base trim include inch wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, height-adjustable driver seat, a tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, a CD stereo with MP3 capability, and power windows, mirrors, and locks.
The Sport trim provides inch alloy wheels, wider tires, a sport-tuned suspension, color-keyed fenders, a roof rack, and an optional moonroof. The Limited trim includes inch alloy wheels, a roof rack, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power driver seat, an upgraded audio system with a six-disc CD changer.
The Limited trim also allows drivers to opt for a moonroof, leather seating, and a rear entertainment system. For , front-seat side airbags and full side curtain airbags are standard on every RAV4.
Also, the JBL audio system will come with steering wheel-mounted controls as well as Bluetooth. For , the RAV4 got a midcycle refresh bringing with it an all-new hp 2. New options include a backup camera, navigation, smart keyless entry, and a push-button starter. This time they worked with Tesla to develop the new EV.
It received top marks in both the moderate front overlap and side test. Neither of the previous two had received a good in both of those categories. Also, if you pick up a RAV4 that was released after the model year it received active headrest restraints.
This brought the third-generation RAV4s head restraints and seats from a marginal to a good, jumping two levels. The only real weakness where the third-generation RAV4 was involved was the roof strength. This can be explained by the new larger dimension of the RAV making it harder to keep rigid in a crash. As for the reliability of the new RAV, it was greatly improved from the last generation. However, it had a rocky start, from it received about complaints per model year, reminiscent of the previous generation.
The big problems for these RAVs were the steering and the engine. The steering shafts on most RAVs were defective, accounting for nearly half of the complaints. However, Toyota turned it around and cut the complaints in half for the model years making them more reliable. The only problem they seemed to have was unwanted acceleration. Several drivers reported that they had their foot on the brake and the RAV would still accelerate causing accidents.
The fourth-generation came with some significant changes. It was the first RAV4 with a lift gate instead of a side-opening rear, as well as the first generation to lose the signature rear-mounted spare tire.
They took away the 3. Going back to the first and second-generation roots this RAV shrinks down in size. The XLE trim brings with it alloy wheels, foglights, heated side mirrors, roof rails, a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and sportier seats. The top of the line Limited trim comes with inch alloy wheels, a height-adjustable power liftgate, keyless entry and ignition, auto-dimming rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat with memory settings, heated front seats, and synthetic leather upholstery.
The navigation system with Entune is also available on the Limited trim and can be bundled with an speaker JBL audio system. For , a new technology package was offered for the Limited trim which brings with it a blind-spot monitoring system with a lane departure warning system and automatic high-beam control.
For , it received a facelift which made the exterior look a lot better, offered a Sport Edition SE trim, offered new driver assists, and most crucially a cupholder upgrade! This was also the first generation to offer a hybrid RAV4. For , an Adventure trim is added to the RAV lineup. This adds inch black alloy wheels, an extra.
For the model years, the RAV struggled with the small overlap front tests on both the drivers and passenger side. This tests the vehicle on how it would protect the occupants if it hit something head-on but slightly to the driver or passenger side.
Toyota fixed this in making the RAV jump from a poor to a good mark in the small overlap test for the driver. However, they never cared to strengthen the passenger side so all model years received a poor score for the small overlap front test on the passenger side. The fourth-generation RAV4 managed to get even more reliable than the previous generation with an average of about complaints per model year.
It seems that the only complaint that showed up repeatedly for this RAV was that the radio would shut off and reset randomly or constantly.
Luckily this is a relatively cheap fix as compared to the problems of previous generations, so when it comes to reliability this RAV assumes the same posture as the original first-gen.
The fifth-generation RAV4 was released for the model year and shared its platform with the Camry and Avalon. The new RAV got a 2.
