Road TestCar reviews - Toyota - RAV4 - Edge 5-dr wagonToyota modelsEngine25 Jan 2001 ALL RAV4 models receive an all-alloy 1998cc twin-cam engine with Toyota's VVTi featuring variable valve timing system. It delivers 110kW of power at 6000rpm (up 15 per cent) and 192Nm of torque at 4000rpm (up 7 per cent), enough for Toyota to claim 0-100km/h acceleration times of 10.6 seconds for the manual. Fuel economy is down to 9.0 L/100km on the city cycle. The new engine is 23kg lighter than the engine it supersedes in RAV4. In-built mountings in the block and bearing cap for ancillaries such as the water pump, thermostat, oil filter and air conditioner compressor improve package efficiency and reduce service weight. Double-walled stainless steel extractor-style exhaust headers aim to provide maximum performance and durability, as well as lower emissions. Did you know?Toyota VVTi offers infinitely variable inlet valve timing over a range of 50 degrees (relative to crankshaft angle)All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
