2010 Toyota RAV4

Toyota has announced that it will launch the 2010 RAV4 compact SUV as well as the production-ready Auris HSD at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

The front end of the RAV4 is now treated to a more aggressive styling along with revamped headlights and a redesigned grille with more chrome. Toyota also said that the interior has been ‘refined’ as well.


Toyota Auris HSD

The Auris HSD (Hybrid Synergy Drive) is a C-Segment full hybrid that will be built at Toyota’s Burnaston factory in the UK. The company said that the hybrid vehicle will go on sale across Europe by summer this year.

Apart from these two cars, Toyota will also showcase the Prius Plug-in Hybrid as well as the FT-EV II electric vehicle concept. AE-86 fans in Europe not to worry, the company will also present FT-86 sports car concept at the motor show.

    Boring & dull exterior design. Maybe the interior will be another story. But these for Eropean and US market which will get the latest engine and state of the art technology. Under UMWToyota Malaysian will get 3rd world design & 3rd class technology from 3rd world country but pricy for next generation Vios, Avanza, Innova, Altis etc.

    Helmi, I second that. I wonder how much longer Malaysian Toyota buyers will take this INSULT on their intelligence and pride. Come on, stop treating Malaysian Toyota fans (I am not though) like rubbish. Toyota fans, look at what other market is getting, I wonder how you guys can keep taking this crap from UMWT. Wake up people.

    I think UMWT also has Prius, RAV4, Camry and almost full range of Lexus cars right? Don't think these are meant for 3rd world…
