Toyota GB is introducing a new sports-themed version of the third generation Toyota RAV4 called the Toyota RAV4 SR180. The 180 badge seems to indicate 180 PS… well, nearly. Its 2.2 litre D-4D turbodiesel engine produces 175 PS and a massive 400Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
The RAV4 SR180 goes from 0 to 100km/h in 9.3 seconds which is reasonably swift though it won’t kick you back into your seats every time you put the pedal to metal, and gets a mileage of 40.4mpg on the combined cycle.
Bits of sporty equipment included in the SR180 package include extended wheel arches, 18 inch alloy wheels, runflattyres, dark-tinted headlamps, Integrated Active Drive (VSC, Traction Control and Hill Start Assist), Bluetooth connectivity, dark tinted rear privacy glass, fog lamps, a six speaker audio system with a 6-CD changer, cruise control, and electric sunroof.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
hmmm same car basically, with improved engine.
D-4D, same engine in the hilux?
Wow..
Toyota has always built new models with nice looking design..
I like Toyota RAV4,but not yet afford to own it..
The headlights look like the ones from the C-class.
40.4mpg with 175ps? I want one!
Next time should really add in a brackat say “Europe only”. Make me happy only.
the freelander 2 is nicer
well. it seems like the big brothe to our Toyota Rush..
hopefully see this vehicle in showroom very soon..
40mpg for an SUV? Are you sure? Thats almost as good as Toyota Prius Hybrid.

HELP!! I had a glimpse of a 2-door Rav4 6 months ago and I have been looking for it desperately ever since. (Seen 3 on the road so far) I don’t know which model is it (no leads from all sources including the net!!) but I think it’s the 3rd generation….or is there a 4th? (Seen many of the 1st & 2nd generation on the road).
i want to know the price of RAV4 recond from japan ?
As soon as I can ship one to trinidad
