- – carmag

THE Toyota RAV4 Adventure has been unveiled as a more capable package for the popular Japanese crossover.

The new trim is allocated to the European market and adds a ‘go anywhere’ spirit for consumers that prefer to take their cars off the beaten track.

Giving it a more roughed look, the Toyota RAV4 Adventure has been itted with a black grille, lower badge placement and double horizontal bars that cross the centre of the grille unit. This is ampli ied by black surrounds that are applied to the foglamps and a bright silver‐ inished anti‐scuff plate.

The design of the Toyota RAV4 Adventure is made to be more distinctiv­e with a set of 19‐inch alloy wheels with a matte grey inish and an Urban Khaki coloured roof. This is complement­ed by a dynamic grey inish applied to the front pillars and rear spoiler which pays tribute to the classic FJ40 Land Cruiser.

Within the cabin, the Toyota RAV4 Adventure has been kitted out with bespoke black synthetic leather with deeply quilted back and cushion sections and orange contrast stitching. Branded scuff plates are itted as well.

The Toyota RAV4 Adventure makes use of the brand’s naturally aspirated 2.5‐litre four‐cylinder petrol engine with the support of a hybrid electric motor. These two sources of power work together to provide an intelligen­t all‐wheel drive system that allows for a braked towing capacity of 1 650kg.

ADJUSTMENT

The Toyota RAV4 Adventure also adopts detail changes that are being introduced across the range for 2022. This includes new projector‐type LED headllamps and LED front foglamps, a new 10-spoke alloy wheel design, cabin LED lighting, power adjustment for the front passenger seat, illuminate­d window control switches and new and USB‐C ports suitable for charging phones and devices while on the move.

The Toyota RAV4 Adventure will be sold to European markets by the irst quarter of 2022. Local introducti­on for this model has not been con irmed by Toyota South Africa.
