Toyota has introduced an updated RAV4 crossover for Europe PHOTOS

Toyota has introduced an updated version of the European RAV4. Unlike the restyling earlier this year, this is only a slight change to the car, which affects the safety systems as well as the multimedia and telematics options of the model.

First of all, Toyota has taken care of safety. The Toyota Safety Sense package now includes advanced frontal collision warning technology with automatic stopping and pedestrian recognition even when crossing intersections (PCS).

Also included is Emergency Management Assist (ESA) technology, which allows the car to avoid accidental pedestrians, cyclists and other unexpected obstacles.

In addition, the “European” version of the Toyota RAV4 has a more functional telematics system. It transmits to the smartphone all the basic information about the car (so you can find out, for example, whether the windows / doors are closed, the amount of fuel in the tank, etc.).

This allows remote control of a whole list of functions: opening and locking the car doors, turning on and adjusting the air conditioning system and even turning on the “emergency light”, which makes it easier to find the car in a large or busy parking lot.

Two other updates have made the interior of the RAV4 even more modern and technological. They include a 12.3-inch customizable electronic dashboard and a new multimedia system with a 10.5-inch touch screen with cloud services (including navigation), voice assistant, and wireless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto .

From a technical point of view, the Toyota RAV4 crossover has not changed at all. The European version of the model is still available with two hybrid powertrains: the first with a total output of 222 hp. and combines a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, electric rear-wheel drive and nickel-metal hydride battery.

The second variant has a power of 306 hp, combines a 2.5-liter diesel engine with 178 hp, two electric motors (one on each axle) and a lithium-ion battery. Only one gearbox is available – variator.

Production of the updated version of the Toyota RAV4 will begin in the third quarter of 2022, so the new model will be sold in Europe only in late autumn or early winter. /auto.blitz.bg
