The customary 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine produces 179 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 172 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM. Dual Variable Valve Timing with comprehension (VVT-i), controls timing on both the intake and empty camshafts. Integrated twin change shafts revoke sound and vibration. The Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) switches the intake tract length in twin stages, formed on RPM and stifle angle, to safeguard clever torque across the engine speed range.

This powertrain earnings EPA fuel economy estimates of 22 city/28 MPG highway on FWD models and 21 city/27 MPG highway on 4WD models. An uphill/downhill change control significantly reduces “hunting” between third and fourth gears during circuitous ascending driving. Braking on the downhill automatically causes a downshift, which enhances engine braking for improved control. A flex lock-up torque converter invariably controls lock-up switch slippage to raise fuel economy.

With the V6, a RAV4 can accelerate from zero-to-60 mph in underneath 7 seconds. The V6 models estimated EPA fuel economy MPG ratings of 19 city/27 highway for FWD models and 19 city/26 highway for 4WD models are excellent for this turn of performance. All RAV4 models accommodate Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV II) certification.
The RAV4 class indication rides on P215/70 R16 tires with 16-inch steel wheels or accessible P225/65 R17 tires with styled steel or five-spoke aluminum amalgamate wheels. The Sport class enhances pushing opening with its customary 18-inch amalgamate wheels and a sport-tuned suspension. The Limited class rides on P215/65/R17 tires with customary six-spoke aluminum amalgamate wheels.
