Toyota RAV4 2,2 D-Cat
29th August, 2007
Corners and edges does not have this car. The body Toyota of the RAV4 does not offend to the mass taste, is however nevertheless nicely to be looked at. Against surcharge there is a disguised spare wheel at the tail, which makes the good optics somewhat more full of seeds. The entrance could be hardly more comfortable, of the increased seating position has one traffic at any time in the view. Earns good notes throughout the interior Toyota. Friendly, nearly playful forms, clean processing and plastics, which do not evaporate any cheap charm. There is in front, in the rear sufficient habitat very much - also for adults. The operation is uncomplicated, everything has its place, files is plentifully available.
Flummeries navigation equipment
The switch for the hazard warning flasher, which too far right at the instrument panel is, is badly glitzier. For the operation (surcharge-requiring) of the navigation system Toyota spanned the elbow clearly about security for it: The destination can be adjusted or changed only while stationary. During the test phase more than once swearing a parking lot was headed for. Otherwise the Japanese pleases its passengers with thought out control concepts and nice Gimmicks like a cooled glove subject.
Suspension tightens unusually
Who wants to move the RAV4 off fastened roads, insert able central may count on a reliable permanent all-wheel drive including. The suspension of the RAV4 is unusually tautly co-ordinate for a SUV. Off-road trips become in such a way the getting by portion. On the road against it - and Lifestyle cars are finally moved there like the RAV4 at most - Toyota themselves have a convincing appearance at high speeds. With that 177 HP Diesels are 200 km/h point loosely in it. One hardly uses those because of the stronger thirst with high speed, but the RAV4 is travel mobile sovereign. The torque-strong Diesel provides for propulsion in all situations in life, and with a little restraint at the accelerator pedal consumption with 7 to 8 liters remains in a bearable framework. The self fuse scenery vibration-poor and quietly before itself, completely differently than for instance the Fiat Sedici with its Diesel of sound of tractor.
By the hard chassis tuning even quick driving along curves are not in the RAV4 no problem, in the Wanken turn out the small Japanese. Pleasant is also the precise six-course transmission. Is unusual against it the poisonous clutch Toyota. It must be stepped with some energy expenditure, which nerve in the long term in stop and go traffic.
Tricky rear flap
For the fourth the RAV4 with 450 liters offers to enough baggage compartment, if a straight buggy with does not have. One uses Toyota as bulk buying car, 1752 liters are available with turned down back bank (clearly more than in the Fiat Sedici, Suzuki SX4 or Daihatsu Trios). A large deficiency is the rear flap, which opens to the right like a door to the side. In Japan, where right traffic prevails, that is not so bad. In this country ones one must always work at inviting in the parking space to the road - presupposed, that backer did not course-park one. Then one does not get the flap any longer up.
So far is the RAV4 on the field of the compact spare time Kraxler the undisputed Spielmacher. The class speaker function can be paid Toyota however also well, above all if a diesel engine under the hood puts. There are the 2,2 D-CAT only starting from the “Sol” - equipment for 32.780 euro. With the rich “Executive” - package are due 35,755 euro. Then one may nevertheless be pleased about comfortable leather equipment, electrically foldable outside mirrors, fog headlight, CD radio with 6-fachem change-over switch, Tempo mat and a two-zone climatic mechanism.
