The Toyota Rav4, one of the pioneers of that crazy compact crossover SUV segment gets a full treatment for this year! It's also more capable off-road with the addition of a new Multi-Terrain Select system!
In addition to standard front-wheel drive, RAV4 gas models offer two types of available all-wheel drive. The new, segment- and Toyota-first, Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive with Rear Driveline Disconnect comes standard on AWD-equipped Limited gas and Trail grade models. It can direct up to 50%of engine torque to the rear wheels, as well as distribute it to the left or right rear wheel to enhance handling on or off the pavement.
When AWD isn’t required –on long stretches of highway, for example – RAV4 can achieve better fuel economy thanks to the Rear Driveline Disconnect system. The system uses the world’s first ratchet-type dog clutches to stop the rear-axle driveshaft’s rotation, thus significantly reducing energy loss and improving fuel efficiency.
Standard on all AWD-equipped gas RAV4 models, Multi-Terrain Select gives drivers the ability to maximize traction when driving through mud, sand, rocks, dirt and snow. The system is easy to use thanks to control buttons or a control dial (depending on the grade) positioned to the left of the transmission shift lever.
The driver can select Mud & Sand mode for beach driving or Rock & Dirt mode for trails. Using the Multi-Information Display (MID), the driver can view torque allocation and slip control, which changes depending on driving and road conditions.
In addition, RAV4 models include the following features for optimal on-road and off-road performance and safety:
- Hill Start Assist Control (HAC)
- Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
- Downhill Assist Control (DAC) (standard on Trail and Limited AWD only)
