New York motor show presenting for Toyota Rav4 Hybrid a 2.5-litre petrol engine together with an electric motor

The new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has been unveiled at the New York Motor Show this month and is due to go on sale early up coming year. The new SUV utilizes a 2.5-litre petrol engine coupled with an electric motor and are going to share its components with the Lexus NX SUV from the Japanese brand's luxury arm.

The new car has a 2.5-litre petrol engine together with an electric motor, with an additional motor powering the rear axle to offer electronic all-wheel drive. The AWD potential offers greater safety and stability when negotiating low-grip surfaces, this also provides you with a towing capacity of 1,650kg, with Toyota’s Trailer Sway Control system giving you added security and peace of mind.

The new RAV4 will also bring the Toyota Safety Sense suite of features. Along with the Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Automatic High Beam and also Road Sign Assist options which will also be integrated into the package for new Avensis and Auris this summer, the RAV4 will likely build up Adaptive Cruise Control together with two essential improvements to the basic Pre-Collision System functions.

The models with internal combustion engines will offer four trim levels: LE, XLE, Limited and a new one, the SE. Toyota as well agreed to give the whole line-up a make-over. Like the new XLE and Limited hybrids, all types of the 2016 RAV4 feature a refreshed exterior with a very fluid and dynamic look. The front end has been radically modified. The stylists applied LEDs to set up a more dynamic package. The rear bumper has been redesigned, as get the hatch and LED taillights. The wheel wells are larger and joined at the bottom by a crease that runs parallel to another character line situated straight under the beltline. The alloy wheels are fresh as well.
