Toyota RAY 4 3 generation was presented in Europe in 2005. And sales in Russia started in early 2006. It is noteworthy that RAV 4 XA30 managed to survive two restyling: the first in 2008, the second in 2010. And the sales of this body in 2013 were completed when XA40 came to shift.
In this generation, Toyota crossover lost a permanent full drive, now the coupling is responsible for connecting the rear wheels. Also went to the past three-door version, which was sold not by large circulations. But the elongated body and the engine V6 3.5 were available on the North America market.
The exterior design of the equal 4 3 generation can not be called a strong side of the parcipher, but also "freak" the crossover Toyota can not be called. Rounded forms, smooth transitions, the absence of sharp transitions - the characteristic features of the exterior not only RAV 4 2005, but also other Toyota cars for those years.
The front optics of the uncomplicated form, between the front headlights there is a large falseradiator grille, consisting of two horizontal lines in the first plan and plastic mesh on the second.
How do you like RAV 4 XA30?
The front bumper is massive with round tumpers sorted on the land. The radiator grille is divided into two parts with a wide band of the bumper on which the number is attached.
Looking at the car behind the first one, what you see - the casing of the spare track. It is impossible to say that it spoils the appearance, but it does not make it appropriate for modern standards. Small rear lights are located on racks, they are not stretched, like competitors (X-TRAIL, CR-V). Fog lights are located on a massive rear bumper.
The photo shows that Rav 4 XA30 2006 does not look like a mod lawmaker in a car design.
Salon
Abundance of painted under metal plastic hesitably
The interior of the RAV 4 has become more interesting, the front panel was made by a two-story, which turned out to be practical due to the appeared additional gloves. The steering wheel is a convenient three-spoke with control buttons on a plastic platform painted under metal. The dashboard is highlighted in a blue light, a large well-readable speedometer is located in the center, in its base, a small screen of the on-board computer. Tachometer is located on the left of the instrument panel.
The third-generation Railway climate control is decorated in the form of three circles with buttons, which looks not familiar. The driver's seat is decorated in Toyotovsky: wide, soft with poorly pronounced side support.
The second row is not the most convenient
The second row is quite spacious, but high people will not be very convenient. Similar to the short cushion of seating, but the place above the head is abused.
The overall impression of the Salon RAV 4 3 generations is not bad, but the materials of the quality finishes are below average.

In North America, RAY 4 3 generations were sold with two gasoline engines 2.4 and 3.5.
On the power unit 2.4, only a four-stage automatic transmission was established, also crossovers with such a motor only all-wheel drive. In a pair of 2.0 1AZ-Fe, a manual transmission can be standing or a 4ACP, in both cases the parquet could be mono- or all-wheel drive.
After updating 2010, the engine 2.0 3ZR-FAE began to aggregate the manual transmission or variator.
Chassis and four-wheel drive
In Rav 4 2012, a fully independent suspension. The main parts of the front is a subframe, MacPherson racks, triangular levers and transverse stability stabilizer. The rear is designed around the longitudinal levers and stabilizers.
RAV 4 suspension and four-wheel drive
Suspension from the Toyota Parket is hard, not at all like comfortable settings of Camry and Corolla.
The four-wheel drive is not permanent, the rear wheels are rumped with a clutch when slipping the front.
Safety
Already in the basic configuration RAV 4 is not bad in the safety plan. Driver, passenger, side, curtains, for the control of the manager: All these airbags are already available in the initial version of the equipment. In addition, the starting set includes ABS, brake force distribution (EBD), auxiliary braking (BAS), stability control (ESP), anti-slip system (TCS), assistance at starting uphill (HAC).
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of Toyota RAY 4 4 generation is reliability. For buyers, this is one of the most important selection criteria.
There are not many cons of the crossover and all of them are known to the owners of Toyota. The quality of the salon materials from this manufacturer has never been a reference, the steering wheel, the lever of the PPC is maintained especially quickly. Also, seats can be asked and change the form of even 100 thousand km of mileage.
The loop of the fifth doors need to be strengthened, over time, due to heavy spare wheel, the door saves. RAV 4, 2013 problems and reliability, the steering rack demanded attention, driving a little more than 100 thousand. The radiator can be replaced by the same mileage.
It is still possible to attribute bad noise insulation, each pebble is heard. Because of the abundance of hard plastic in the cabin appear "crickets". And on the place for passengers from behind is not the best option.
Restyling
The third generation of Toyota RAV 4 survived two updates: the first in 2008, the second in 2010.
The first restyling 2008 -2010 did not bring significant changes. Even the appearance has been finalized quite a little. According to the technical part, the crossover remained the same.
The second update brought more changes. The most important in appearance was the lack of spare on the fifth door. He strongly reworked the falseradiator grille, which now consists of longitudinal chrome lines. The front optics have already become a look of slightly sports.
American version of 4 3 generations with Motor V6
The technique of the former two-liter gasoline Motor 1AZ-Fe was replaced by modern 2.0 3ZR-FAE, which was aggregated by a manual box or variator.
Also, after the second update, the long versions of the equal 4 30 were available in Russia. The increase was almost 20 cm over a total length, and the wheelbase for Long versions is 10 cm more than another feature of long cars. Motor 2.4, which from 2010 is not available to other configurations. .
Without a spare wheel on the fifth door Rabbi 4 looks better
Toyota Rav4 of the third generation (designation CA30W) was commercially available at home in November 2005, and in December - in the United States and Canada. A little later RAV4 arrived to Europe. In 2010, the Compact Crossover survived restyling. As a result, the head and rear optics, the grille of the radiator changed. A little corrected the range of power units and boxes.
Toyota RAV4 (2006-2008)
Three-door version in this generation will no longer meet. It is worth noting that cars with an increased wheel base were offered in the US market - 2.66 m against 2.56 m.
Due to the door of the trunk, which opens to the right, Raving 4 still looks like a small SUV. The spare wheel hangs on the door of the trunk, excessively straining the loops. But there are copies and uncooked. They serially completed expensive Run Flat tires with a metal insert, allowing after a puncture to get to the nearest tire.
The trunk is noticeably more than the predecessor. When folding the back of the rear seat, a small threshold is formed.
Engines
Before restyling, the European Toyota RAV4 was completed with gasoline engines with a working capacity of 2.0 l (1AZ-FE) with a capacity of 152 hp. and 2.4 liters (2AZ-Fe) - 170 hp The American version went with gasoline engines: 2.4 L and V6 3.5 L (2GR-FE) - 269 hp After restyling in European modifications, 1AZ-Fe lost to the renewed 2.0 l (3ZR-FE) of 158 hp, and in the American 2AZ-Fe lost 2Ar-Fe (2.5 l / 170 hp). There are Rav4 and with diesel engines with a working volume of 2.2 liters (2AD-FHV / 136 hp and 2AD-FTV / 177 hp).
All gasoline engines are generally reliable and do not deliver trouble. In exceptional cases, there is a need to replace the leaky oil. Restyled Toyota RAV4 Owners with a 2.0 liter gasoline engine mark more noisy operation of the engine: diesel location, cloak. This feature is caused by the Valvematic system designed for smooth changes in the lifting height of the valve.
2.4 liter engines are often starting to "take the oil" when running more than 70-100 thousand km - about 2-3 liters from replacement before replacement.
Spoils the idyll of the liquid cooling system (pump), which often begins to leak after 40-60 thousand km. In some cases, it is drawn to 80-100 thousand km. The cost of the pump from the official dealer is about 5,000 rubles. In auto parts stores, the original pump can be found for 3-4 thousand rubles, analogue - for 1.5-2 thousand rubles. Work on the replacement of auto mechanics is estimated at 2-3 thousand rubles.
The "BELICH TAIL" can grow from the exhaust pipe after 40-60 thousand km of mileage. This is poorly fixed internal thermal insulation of the muffler. When running more than 50-80 thousand km, it is often started to make a tension or guide roller of the drive belt of attachments of attachments.
Diesel motors are slightly less reliable of their petrol fellow. Fuel nozzles confidently go to 200-300 thousand km. But there is one serious flaw. After 150,000 km around the sleeves appear microcracks. As a result, the gasket is roasted under the head of the block, and the coolant disappears without a trace. Repair can be performed only once.
At Rav4, there was a completely well-known problem of Toyota car - sticking gas pedals in a pressed position. Real cases are single. Officially, Toyota announced that the reason in the rugs falling under the pedal. But little knows that the CTS pedals were prescribed to install an additional metal plate that promotes the guaranteed return of the pedal to its original position. DENSO's pedals are not provided for such refinement.
Transmission
For the distribution of torque between the axes, the electromagnetic coupling is responsible. Couplings can flip after 50-100 thousand km. When running more than 100-150 thousand km, the coupling can come up. The reason is the loss of the properties of the lubricant laid in the bearing when assembling. The new bearing costs about 700-900 rubles, work on its replace will cost 1.5-2 thousand rubles. The price of a new electrospita assembly is about 20-25 thousand rubles.
The glands of the front and rear gearboxes can flow after 50-100 thousand km. A little later, when running more than 100-150 thousand km, it begins to "hilt" the shank of the front or rear gearbox.
It is worth noting that not all versions had a full drive system. Therefore, when inspection, look under the car and check for the presence of rear differential. If the car is all-wheel drive, then the transmission lock button must be present in the cabin.
A 5-speed "mechanics" or a 4-speed "automatic" works in a pair with motors. After restyling, the 5-speed MCPP changed the "six-step", and the variator began with a 2.0 liter engine. All boxes are generally reliable and serious complaints have no exception. Thus, the owners of RAY 4 with 5-speed "mechanics" celebrate the "snacking" of the lever on the first gear. Turn off the speed is possible only after double the clutch. Also, the owners point out the messenger when driving on the 1st and 2nd gears. The clutch goes over 150-200 thousand km.
Toyota RAV4 (2008-2010)
The machine "can" cover "after replacing the working fluid, and not immediately, but after a few tens of kilometers. Such cases are not uncommon. Official dealers confirm the presence of a similar problem and recommend changing the oil during the mileage of about 60 thousand km. If the mileage was already far over these numbers, it is better to ride until the latter. About the causes of failure box dealers do not apply.
Chassis
One of the Toyota service campaigns is to check and replacing the bottom levers of the rear suspension. When assembling RAV4 due to insufficient tightening of nuts during operation, their attenuation occurs, which leads to the care of the angles of the installation of the rear axle wheels and reduce high speed resistance. In addition, trobs appear on irregularities.
The front stabilizer bushings of transverse stability go more than 30-50 thousand km. Racks "live" longer - up to 80-100 thousand km. The cost of the new sleeve from dealers about 1.5 thousand rubles, in parts of spare parts - about 400-500 rubles, analogues are even cheaper - 200-300 rubles. Work on the replacement of the bushings is estimated by dealers of 1.5 thousand rubles. Rear stabilizer racks and sleeves go more than 100 thousand km.
When running 60-100 thousand km, the front shock absorbers begin "sweat". The cost of the original shock absorber in "auto parts" is slightly different from the dealersky - about 5-7 thousand rubles. Analogue is cheaper in 2 times (about 3 thousand rubles). Rear shock absorbers are more enduring, their resource is more than 150-200 thousand km. Silent blocks of levers serve as much.
The wheel bearings go more than 100-150 thousand km. They change assembly with the hub. The cost of a new hub is about 5-6 thousand rubles, and the work on the replacement is about 1-1.5 thousand rubles.
The brake system, as a rule, does not arise complaints. In rare cases, it is necessary to replace the refused ABS sensor.
The stuffs in the steering control are not uncommon after 40-80 thousand km. As a rule, the culprit is either a steering wheel cardan (4-5 thousand rubles), or a steering shaft (from 5 to 11 thousand rubles), or steering rack (20-25 thousand rubles). Steering traction go more than 100 thousand km, but their replacement is not provided by the manufacturer. Steering thrust goes only with a new rail. But you can choose an analogue for 700-800 rubles and replace.
Other problems and malfunctions
Paint and varnish bodies, as on most cars, weak and easily scratched. Skoles soon appear. Restyled RAV4, in addition, suffers from corrosion foci on the hood - around the chrome lining of the radiator grille. The problem mainly concerns regions using aggressive reagents in winter and St. Petersburg. Dealers at the appearance of yellow spots produced repainting the hood under warranty. Also, the owners of Toyota Rav4 11-12 years of release complain of corrosion of steel wheels in the fastening area with nuts. Some manages to convince dealers to replace the warranty discs.
When running more than 50-100 thousand km, the liners in the wheel arch of the rear wheels are often detached.
Toyota RAV4 (2010 - 2012)
Plastic in the cabin often bored with its creak. And complaints from the owners of the restyling version more. Salon Toyota Rav4 in the hearts called the "rattle". The reason for the rattling in the trunk becomes a spare room, with time, clarifying rubber seals under the casing. The leather upholstery of the driver's seat is often cracking. The leather armchair itself creaks in the contact area of \u200b\u200bplastic linings with skin.
Water in the cabin (under the legs of the passenger on the right) may appear as a result of the dusting of the driving fluid supply to the rear glass. System hoses are laid along the right threshold. But the water in the salon can get and because of the proceeded sealer under the "Jabro" (outdoor lining at the bottom of the windshield).
When running more than 60-80 thousand km, sometimes begins to "buzz" the heater fan. Outsided sounds go after lubrication. Also can crack the gears of the direction of the airproof climate installation. In this case, the lubricant will also help. The cause of noise (cod) When changing the modes of operation, there may be when the shutters of dampers or the gear displacement due to the destruction of the clamps.
The air conditioner compressor can stop incorporated due to the destruction of the compressor coupling damper plate.
The electrician does not deliver the electrician in general. Sometimes there is a "glitch" of a climatic installation, disappearing after throwing off the terminal from the battery. The generator, as a rule, goes more than 150 thousand km, after which it may be necessary to replace the diode bridge.
Conclusion
Toyota RAV4 third generation is quite reliable and practical car. It is necessary to fear only diesel versions. Gasoline engines are practically not broken.

In 1994, the serial production of the Toyota RAV4 car began, which became one of the first representatives of the emerging class of compact crossovers - cars combining the best qualities of passenger cars and SUVs. The car was created on the platform "" and first offered only with a three-door body. In 1995, the elongated five-door version debuted, and after restyling in 1998 - also a short-sided modification with a removable soft riding over the back.
The "Toyota RAV4" was installed gasoline double-liters. The version for the European and American market had a capacity of 120-129 liters. p., and the power unit on cars for Japan has developed from 135 to 180 forces. Transmission - mechanical or automatic. In America, Toyota RAV4 was offered not only with full, but also with the front-wheel drive. In 1997, the small-scale production of the electric version of the car was launched.
2 generation (XA20), 2000-2005
The second generation car, presented in 2000, has become more and solid than the predecessor. Toyota RAV4 had versions with three and five doors, and under the hood there were gasoline motors 1.8 (125 liters.) Or 2.0 (150-155 l.) The actuator could be front or complete. Especially for the European market since 2001 was offered "Rafik" with a two-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 115 liters. from.
In 2003, a slight restyling model was conducted. At the same time, the gamma of the power units was replenished with a 2.4 liter engine, developing 161 liters. from.
3 generation (XA30), 2005-2014
The third generation crossover became even larger, lost the three-door version, got a new transmission with a multid-wide clutch in the rear wheel drive. In some markets, a long-base seven-bed modification of the car was offered (in Japan, it was sold as a separate Toyota Vanguard model).
The gamma of power units consisted of 2.0 gasoline engines (152 liters.), 2.4 (170 liters.), As well as the 3.5-liter "six" with a capacity of 273 liters. from. Turbodiesel rails had a volume of 2.0 and 2.2 liters and developed 116-177 liters. from. Mechanical or automatic gearboxes were installed on the machines, and the Japanese versions were completed with variamators. All-wheel drive and front-wheel drive "Toyota" with gasoline engines 2.0 and 2.4 liters were supplied to Russia.
After restyling 2008, the crossover got a slightly modified appearance, in the US market, instead of a 2.4-liter engine, began to offer a 2.5-liter capacity of 181 liters. from. At the same time, a two-liter power unit was upgraded: he had a system of changing the phases of gas distribution, and the return rose to 158 forces. The "Russian" Toyota RAV4 remained with the former set of motors, but we began to betray the long-base version.
Another restyling of 2010 has changed more noticeably the appearance of the machine. At the same time, deliveries began to the Russian version with a modernized engine 2.0 (158 liters. P.), Instead of a four-stage "automaton", customers began to offer a variator, and instead of the five-speed "mechanics" - six-speed.

Today, every third car in the stream of any city is a crossover, the most universal machine for our time, combining the control of the passenger cars and off-road (partly) of the SUV ability. But the first crossover appeared almost 20 years ago, in Japan. At that time it was an experimental car, you can say the soil sample. He was called then, like now - Toyota RAV4, the abbreviation Récreation Astive VEICLE 4 is deciphered as a all-wheel drive car for active leave.
It was a departure from the generally accepted canons of creating SUVs.
Rav4 combined four-wheel drive and independent suspension of all wheels with the bearing body. Thanks to this, the car has excellent performance indicators and a good level of comfort, except for this attended a sports note that helped overcome off-road and be quite null on the highway.
The first generation of the car from 1994 to 2000
The first RAV4 seen the light in 1994 was a three-door short-shaped version with the original sports design, reminding the off-road coupe. Auto dimensions:- length 3705 mm
- width 1695 mm
- height 1650 mm
- clearance 200 mm
- wheel base 2200 mm
- tank volume 58 liters
- curb weight 1150 kg
- full weight 1565 kg
- the volume of the trunk is from 175 to 520 liters.
- length 4115 mm
- width 1695 mm
- height 1660 mm
- clearance 200 mm
- wheel base 2410 mm
- tank volume 58 liters
- curb weight 1220 kg
- full of 1710 kg
- the volume of the trunk from 409 to 1790 liters.
On both versions of the first generation, only one engine was installed:
- gasoline unit Volume 2 liters and 128 hp The torque reached 178 nm at 4600 rpm. Fuel consumption: 12, 3 l in the city and 7, 7 liters on the track. Acceleration up to 100 km / h was 10, 1 second. Two gearboxes were offered to the choice: reliable five-speed mechanics and a four-stage automaton, having economical and sports modes.
Second generation of the car from 2000 to 2005
In the spring of 2000, sales of updated RAV4 began. Toyota's heads have already understood that a new kind of compact SUV is very valuable from the point of view of sales and tried to strengthen all the qualities of the previous model. First of all, the appearance of the car was revised, now she had a more individual and courageous appearance. The car's salon with almost unchanged dimensions has become spacious, and the quality of the finish has improved.Overall magnitudes of the model with three doors:
- length 3850 mm
- width of 1785 mm
- height 1670 mm
- clearance 200 mm
- wheelbase 2280 mm
- tank volume 58 liters
- curb weight 1200 kg
- full weight 1595 kg
- the volume of the trunk is from 150 to 766 liters.
- length 4245 mm
- width of 1785 mm
- height 1680 mm
- clearance 200 mm
- wheel base 2490 mm
- tank volume 58 liters
- curb weight 1230 kg
- full mass1700 kg
- the volume of the trunk is from 400 to 1150 liters.
The gamma of the engine of the new car was significantly expanded, three were instead of one unit:
- 1, 8 liters with a return of 125 hp and a torque of 161 nm. He came to replace the 2 liter and installed in most cases to the "short" version. Despite the light loss of power, economy increased significantly: 9, 4 liters in the city and 6, 2 liters on the highway. The distinction of this version was a non-alternative front-wheel drive.
- 2, 0 liter with a capacity of 150 hp, with a torque 192 nm. New, the most powerful motor was quite dynamic and economical: overclocking up to 100 km / h - for 10, 6 seconds, consumption in the city - 11, 4 l, on the track 7, 3 l.
- 2, 0 liter (diesel) Power 116 hp And torque 250 nm is already from 1800 rpm. This is the first Diesel installed on Rav4, he inferior to gasoline female in the dynamics, but was more traquent with off-road. The flow of diesel fuel was 9, 9 liters in the city and 6, 1 on the track.
Gasoline aggregates could be equipped with both mechanics and automatic with the first generation of the machine, only mechanics were put on diesel.
In 2004, a light restyling was conducted, the forms of both bumpers and a radiator lattice were changed, but the most important thing was the appearance of a new powerful engine:
- gasoline 2, 4 l Power 167 hp and torque 224 nm. Acceleration to the "stake" occupied 9 seconds, and fuel consumption was only 10% more than the 150-strong version. This motor aggregated only by a 4-speed automaton.
Third generation of the car from 2005 to 2009
New Rav4 Sample 2005 was built on a completely new platform and by and large did not have anything in common with the previous model. The appearance of the novice became more status, and the details of the interior became noticeably richer. Because of the new platform, a three-door version went into the past, and the five-door was once again increased in size:- length 4395 mm
- width 1815 mm
- height 1685 mm
- 190 mm clearance
- wheel base 2560 mm
- tank volume 60 liters
- curb weight 1500 kg
- full weight 2070 kg
- the volume of the trunk from 586 to 1469 liters.
In addition, the front panel of the car acquired by the optimous branded backlight, the engine began to start without a key, the tape recorder learned to read the MP3 format, and the display was Russified. Toyota engineers thoroughly worked the issue of security and Rav4 already in the basic version received 7 airbags. 
Audit and power units:
- thoroughly recycled 2-liter engine, which received two levels of forsing - 152 hp and 158 hp With the same torque in 198 nm. The dynamics of the motors did not differ and both confidently accelerated the substantially sulled Rav4 for 10, 2 and 11 seconds depending on the type of transmission - mechanics or a 4-speed automatic. Version from 158 hp Received a stepless variator.
- new diesel unit 2, 2 liters with a capacity of 136 hp (310 nm) and 177 hp (400 nm), (turbo). The younger does not have a higher option differed by good performance: acceleration up to 100 km / h occupied 10, 5 s, and the consumption of only 8, 1 liter in the city (5, 6 liters on the highway). Turbo version was faster almost a half seconds, and fuel consumption was different in less than half liters. Both versions were completed only by mechanical gearbox.
- senior gasoline engine 2, 4 received another 3 hp and gave 170 horses now. The thrust remained at the same level - 224 nm. As before, in a pair, a 4-speed automatic was with him.
- especially for the US market was produced the most powerful model of Rav4 with the engine from Camry - 3, 5 liters, with a capacity of 269 hp and a 5-speed automaton.
Starting from the third generation Rav4 lost a constant full drive, from now on it has a plug-in, i.e. the rear axle is connected when the front wheels are slipped, under a sensitive supervision of electronics. But the driver remained the opportunity to use 4 wheels at its discretion, for this it was necessary to click on the special key of the forced switching on the full drive. But due to the presence of tender Viskors, the entire system is susceptible to reinforced wear when moving on an asphalt with a full drive. In order to avoid breakdowns, a temperature sensor was introduced into the coupling, which to achieve a high temperature turned off the rear-wheel drive. Also, the rear wheels are disconnected to achieve a speed of 40 km / h. 
Fourth generation of the car from 2009 to 2012
The new generation of Rav4 was built on the same platform, and essentially distinguished by a different design and richer optional set, a two-zone climate control appeared, the 17th alloy wheels, CD changer on 6 disks and the third row of seats.Now Toyota RAV4 Specifications had the following:
- length 4445 mm
- width 1815 mm
- height 1685 mm
- 190 mm clearance
- wheel base 2560 mm
- tank volume 60 liters
- curb weight 1500 kg
- full weight 2070 kg
- the volume of the trunk from 410Do 1320 liters.
- length 4625 mm
- width of 1855 mm
- height 1720 mm
- 190 mm clearance
- wheelbase 2660 mm
- tank volume 60 liters
- curb weight 1690 kg,
- full weight of 2100 kg
- the volume of the trunk from 540 to 1700 liters.
But the appearance of the novelty was made cool among potential buyers and after a year, in 2010, a deep restyling appearance was held. The image of the car was completely recycled, especially in the front part, as a result of which the silhouette became more dynamic, and the image is aggressive. In this case, the external changes did not affect the Long version. 
In the fourth generation, the Rav4 lost almost all the power units - only two engines remained on the domestic market:
- 2.0 l, 158 hp And the moment in 198 nm. This unit remained unchanged from the third generation.
- 2, 4 l, 170 hp, with a moment of 224 nm. Similar to the previous one - the motor from the 3rd generation, was installed only on the LONG version.
- V-shaped 6-cylinder unit from Toyota Camry
- a motor, operating on heavy fuel - volume 2, 2 liters in two capacity variations: 150 and 180 hp
Generation since 2013
At the end of 2013, a new generation of Rav4 was presented at the exhibition in Los Angeles. At the heart of the novice is already tested in practice the platform from the previous version of Long. The new generation design has undergone fundamental changes, inheriting a new corporate identity, asked by Sedan Avensis at the end of 2011.At Toyota RAV4 2013, the technical characteristics became such:
- length 4570 mm
- width 1845 mm
- height 1670 mm
- clearance 197 mm
- wheelbase 2660 mm
- tank volume 60 liters
- "Empty" weight 1540 kg
- full weight 2000 kg
- the volume of the trunk from 506 to 1705 liters.
Silence aggregates of 2013 have only three options:
- 2.0 l, 146 hp, torque 187 nm. This is the engine already proven for years, which is not the first year to be placed on Rav4. This time he was reconfigured, in favor of saving fuel. Dynamic characteristics: 10, 2 seconds before the first hundred. In the basic configuration, only a mechanical 6-speed gearbox is offered, but the surcharge can be obtained and the variator can be obtained.
- 2.2 l, diesel 150 hp diesel and torque 340 nm. This motor is equipped only with automatic 6-speed gearbox. This is the first diesel, officially supplied to Russia. Up to 100 km / h Rav4 with such an aggregate is accelerated in 10 seconds, and consumes only 8, 1 liters in the city (5, 5 liters on the track).
- 2.5 liters, 180 hp, torque 233 nm. This engine "Rafik" inherited from New Tyota Camry, along with a 6-step transmission. Characteristics: 9, 4 s to "hundred", consumption - 11, 4 l and 6, 8 l in the city and on the track.

Conclusion
Toyota Rav4 One of the most successful models of crossovers in the world.
Despite the sharp aggravation of competition in the segment, the pioneer of the world of crossovers does not give their positions to numerous competitors and in most countries falls into the top 3 best-selling parquets. Characteristics of Toyota Rav4 in aggregate with Japanese reliability do not allow to doubt the commercial success of the 2013 model and in Russia.
However, even after the "Rafika" appeared rivals, "Japanese" did not give them to the onslaught, demonstrating invariably high sales thanks to a carefully balanced quality set. In particular, the cars of the first two generations were distinguished by enviable reliability. Is it a list of advantages of a third generation machine? It's time to find out.
For almost twenty-year history of the Love of buyers to RAV4 did not cool down on a degree: each subsequent modification was sold better and better. Even in the crisis years, the car manifes the crowds of buyers! The secret of success is simple: Japanese origin, good off-road abilities plus the sane price.
"Rafik" of the third generation - the factory index H30 - came to us in 2006, and four years later the Japanese refreshered "a car for outdoor recreation with 4 Wheel Drive - that's what this abbreviation means) and at the same time Such an assortment of an elongated version. A short modification could be bought with a 2-liter engine, front or full drive. The front-wheel drivers were equipped with an exceptionally manual box, and the 4x4 version could be both "manual" and "automatic" - a variator was performed as an automatic activation. The version with an enlarged wheelbase (LWB) has earned a more powerful 2.4 liter engine and a full-fledged "automatic" with a torque converter.
Equipping all cars more than generous: in the basic version there is a complete set of security (7 pillows, ABS) plus a full electric car, air conditioning, "music" and so on, and the top "prestige" flashes the skin, navigation and xenon.
The three-year "Rafik" currently costs from 750,000 to 1,150,000 rubles, while for the current, the fourth generation dealers are asked from a million rubles and higher. Therefore, discount in 250,000-400,000 rubles. It looks very tempting. And yet let's study the possible expenses for the content of this Japanese.
Body and electrical equipment
Pest beetles
There is no complaints about this part to RAV4, since the rust on three-year-old cars does not occur - the paint is perfectly opposed to the aggressive environment. And nevertheless, carefully inspect the hood: on separate copies of the radiator grille, point foci of corrosion can be observed - the so-called "bugs" can be observed. This subsection dealers "Toyota" eliminated, as a rule, under warranty; And if you treat treatment at your own expense, you will have to lay out about 10,000 rubles.
There are no comments to the electrician. There are no comments: in the car you just have nothing to break, they say in one voice servicemen. The Toyota does not really have complex nodes that can deliver hassle - from here and trouble. All children's sores were cured by 2008, so that three-year-old cars will not get harder to the new owner.
Transmission
Do not forget about the prevention
Neither one of the nodes, whether "mechanics", "automatic" or variator, no complaints have no complaints. The clutch on modifications with MCP serves as a minimum of 100,000 km and varies traditionally a set - disc plus basket. But the mechanical versions did not use much popularity, so most of the three-year plates are equipped with the ACP, to which there is no complaints. Both the variator, and the "automatic" are extremely reliable, and dealers will not remember that they are ever changed.
There are no problems with a node that transmits torque to rear wheels in all-wheel drive modifications. In contrast to the fellow in class, there was no more popular "Haldex" with electronic control recently, and a simpler viscous food. If you follow it, changing the oil to 40,000 km according to the regulations, and at the same time not to force the car extreme driving off-road, it will last long. But if you neglect the planned prevention, problems may arise, and expensive. At first, the coupling will complain about the health of the characteristic hum from under the bottom.
I ignoring the problem, you will eventually get a monolarified car, and the coupling will have to be changed entirely that it is quite expensive.
Engine
Problems with tightness
All of them are also considered trouble-free. Both undead motors easily digest our fuel even not the highest quality. In the drive of the gas distribution mechanism, the timing chain works, which serves as a minimum of 200,000 km. When the replacement time comes due to stretching, it will report this to the annoying brand. Hinged equipment belts usually go 60,000-70,000 km.
You should attribute a 2.4-liter engine cooling system pump - it begins to leak over the years. Simple sealing here can not do: the pump will have to be changed entirely. The flow can also be a radiator, but this will happen no earlier than the odometer counts 150,000 km.
On the secondary market, you can meet modifications with a gasoline V6 volume of 3.5 liters, as well as diesel versions - these cars got into Russia by the neighboring paths bypass official dealers. For any representative statistics on these units, domestic masters do not have.
Chassis and steering
No heroism!
The chassis from "Rafika" by the standards of modern crossovers have a standard design: the front wheels are increased at the Mac-Fersson racks, a multi-dimensional suspension is installed behind. The front lower levers will serve at least 150,000 km, and the resource of the rear longitudinal levers is usually 100,000 km. The front shock absorbers on our roads are able to run 80,000-100,000 km, and the rear will hold out 50,000 longer. Silent-blocks and anthers are unlikely to deliver trouble earlier than 150,000 km, but it largely depends on how active road services fertilize the streets of reagents in the winter.
There are no complaints about the electric power steering, but the steering rail is not distinguished by the street: in some cases it is already enhanced to run in 70 thousand km - it will become clear when hear tapping on small irregularities. Folk craftsmen are trying to repair it, however, this kind of kapsells are able to extend the life of the rails by no more than 10,000-20,000 km. It is wiser to immediately change the item to the new one. Yes, it is expensive - but safely and securely.
Brake pads in front and rear withstand 40,000-50,000 km, drives go twicear longer.
