Toyota RAV4 gains TRD and Modellista parts in Japan

The Toyota RAV4 has received a number of customisation options in Japan from both TRD and Modellista, with a total of four styling packages for customers to choose from.

Over in the TRD camp, the two variants that are offered are known as Field Monster and Street Monster. The former gives the RAV4 a look that is geared towards off-roading, and includes a more rugged bumper with optional LED lighting, overfenders, mud guards, a roof rack, 17-inch ‘Crimson MG Monster’ wheels, and garnishes.

Meanwhile, the Street Monster package comes with a full bodykit that includes front and rear bumper spoilers, additional LED lighting, skirting, body-coloured overfenders and muffler tips. There’s even a set of exclusive 20-inch TRD TF X-Limited aluminium wheels to go along with it.

As for what Modellista has to offer, the first is an Aero Kit, which is rather subtle in terms of design, with just a new front spoiler, side skirts, garnishes and 19-inch aluminium wheels being part of the package.

The company’s second offering, JAOS, appears to rival the Field Monster mentioned earlier. The kit features protective pieces for areas such as the bumper, nose (with additional LED lighting), sides and C-pillars. The 20-inch aluminium wheels look like they’ll need some protecting too, and don’t really like suited for rough trails.

    I just dont understand why the RAV4 is not sold here, given the popularity of the CRV and CX5. Pretty sure the RAV4 would have sold quite well, but for some strange reason, UMW decided not to sell it.
    No wonder toyota sales in Malaysia is very low compared to Honda. Honda has a better go-to-market strategy.

    • Toyota have no plans to CKD RAV4, so if it comes here it would be CBU at high prices. It would be quickly slayed by CKD CRV and Proton X70.

  • I don’t get how The RAV4 have had an absence in the Malaysian market. It “should” a lot between the CHR and the harrier. I wonder how UMWT strategise their product. Where as the Honda CRV and the CX-5 takes that market for so many years. I wonder if UMWT will bring it in as a CBU from Thailand or CKD….. with the body kits, man it looks aggressive

    • Toyota does not seem to be as serious with Malaysian market as other Japanese brands. Look at its Vios losing its market share to City. It does not have any models to compete against Honda Jazz and CRV. Their Vios and Altis are slow to compete against City and Civic.
