2020 Toyota RAV4 now open for booking in Malaysia – CBU Japan; RM204k for 2.0L CVT, RM224k for 2.5L 8AT

2020 Toyota RAV4 now open for booking in Malaysia – CBU Japan; RM204k for 2.0L CVT, RM224k for 2.5L 8AT

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced pricing for the 2020 Toyota RAV4, which will be launched on June 18. As revealed in a leaked brochure we reported on earlier in the day, two variants of the SUV will be offered, including the base 2.0L and 2.5L.

The former retails at RM203,880 on-the-road without insurance, while the 2.5L variant goes for RM223,880 – both prices are inclusive of a five-year/unlimited-mileage warranty. The company says order taking will begin from today (June 10), but there’s more to add.

The prices mentioned above are inclusive of sales and services tax (SST), which as the government has made clear previously, will be removed for CKD cars or lessened for CBU cars from June 15. As such, the RAV4’s prices will be revised to reflect this, with the both variants set to carry an estimated price of RM196,500 (2.0L) and RM215,700 (2.5L), respectively.

With the pricing out of the way, let’s talk specifications. The RAV4 rides on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform – like the C-HR and Camry – and will be available with two Dynamic Force engines corresponding to the variants.

Under the bonnet, the base 2.0L variant gets a M20A-FKS 2.0 litre four-cylinder with 173 PS and 207 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT, while the 2.5L variant is powered by a larger A25A-FKS 2.5 four-pot that provides 207 PS and 243 Nm, with a Direct Shift eight-speed automatic instead.

The Toyota Safety Sense suite of safety and driver assistance systems will be present as well, and includes Pre-collision System (PCS), Lane Departure Alert with steering correction and Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), all-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and Automatic High Beam (AHB).

For the rest of the kit list, the leaked brochure states both variants are equipped identically, with standard items like 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlamps with LED DRLs, LED taillights, automatic wipers, front and rear fog lamps, and a powered tailgate with hands-free operation.

2020 Toyota RAV4 now open for booking in Malaysia – CBU Japan; RM204k for 2.0L CVT, RM224k for 2.5L 8AT

Inside, you get an Optitron instrument cluster with a seven-inch multi-info display, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, leather upholstery, an eight-way powered driver’s seat with memory function, keyless entry and start, front and rear digital video recorders, along with a wireless charger.

For entertainment, there is a seven-inch touchscreen head unit that comes with support for Android Auto and Apply CarPlay, as well as a six-speaker sound system. The unit’s screen size is smaller than what is fitted to our local Corolla, Fortuner and Innova, and is fitted within a rather large housing so it stands out quite a bit.

Other features include a spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), ABS, hill start assist, front and rear parking sensors, a tyre pressure monitoring system, seven airbags (front, side, curtain and driver’s knee), Isofix child seat anchors, and a seat belt warning system for the front seats.

The RAV4 also gets a Vehicle Telematics System (VTS) that allows owners to check their vehicle’s real-time location via a mobile app, which is also available for the Corolla, and requires drivers to subscribe to the service. Buyers will have six exterior colours to choose from – Dark Blue Mica, Red Mica, Silver Metallic, Grey Metallic, Attitude Black and White Pearl Crystal Shine, the last option will set you back an additional RM800.

With pricing now revealed, how does the RAV4 stack up against rivals like the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5? Well, the most expensive version of the CR-V is the 1.5 TC-P 2WD that goes for RM175,900, whereas the range-topper for the CX-5 is the turbocharged 2.5 4WD High at RM181,660.40.

The RAV4 clearly commands a premium over both models, even with its imminent SST-exempted pricing, although it is a CBU model from Japan compared to the Honda and Mazda SUVs that are locally assembled. Even so, it does seem to come with a rather rich feature set, but is that enough to attract your attention? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

            The Toyora RAV4 pricing is very acceptable as this Game Changer comes with stunning modern design, Toyota Safety Sense, advance dynamic force engine, complete features and it rides on TNGA platform.

          The pricing is ridonkulous but I have to pity UMW Toyota as they cannot do anything about the high prices.

          This was determined by our kleptocrazy PH gomen as per their NAP 2020 policy. To reduce this pricing down in a saner level, PN gomen needs to abolish NAP 2020 plan and make a new, more responsible policy.

          As we can see today, that NAP 2020 is flawed and riddled with cronyism interest to suck on rakyat wallets.

      Having driven the RAV4 I’d have to agree it’s superior to the crv (a reason why there’s an 8 month waiting list on the hybrid in aus).

      But then again, top up 30 grand and you could get an XC40. More power, tech and safety with the trade off of space, cost of ownership and (arguably) reliability. Doesn’t really matter which one people would choose – you win some, lose some

    CX5,CRV will laugh all the way during this tax free period after they realize this rav4 price.

    Toyata Taiwan same specs rav4 selling 135k+ for 2.0 and 180k+ for 2.5, again not comparable because CKD tw vs CBU for us, even CKD we won’t be getting much cheaper pricing here anyway. I’m just wondering is Msian avg salary much higher than Taiwan ppl or UMW thought we msian willing to pay the premium for T brand? It’s a good car but seems like Toyota want profit over sales units just look at CHR pricing… Poor msian.

    Haha! As Ah Beng would say, “top-up a bit can get XC40 for advanced semi-autonomous driving”. Ahem. I would say, OpenPilot, which is supported in RAV4 is better than the Volvo’s Pilot Assist. Why? Because OpenPilot is open source and come with frequent and online update. For Volvo’s, u have to bring ur car to them. Theres no over the air update like in the OpenPilot and I don’t think it would be frequent. One thing Pilot Assist better than OpenPilot is, the Volvo’s tech come with steer assist, that help the driver manouver the car to avoid crash in emergency situation. US people keep benchmarking OpenPilot and Tesla, but not with Volvo’s Pilot Assist.

    So, it is still worth it to pay for RM22x, xxx for a 2.5 naturally aspirated RAV4 with 8-speed GB.

        Yea bro! Worth it in terms of the driving aid. But, everywhere people compare RAV4 with CX-5, C-RV, etc. but not with XC40. The price for RAV4 should be lower, unfortunately. Only one video on Youtube people compare XC40 with CX-5. But our CX-5 come without MRCC. C-RV is better equipped (supported by OpenPilot too!) but it is CVT, and the build quality is too bad.

  • Mazda 6 2.2 turbodiesel is assembled in japan, priced at 200k,
    if compared to pricing of the rav4, which is a newer car with more sheet metal and equipment, its not too bad.
    The rav4 is priced somewhat fair, reasonably sensible by UMW’s standard.

    However , if we were to compare to its locally assembled rivals, price alone would sway majority of buyers.
    Not just mazda, honda and nissan, even subaru forester and the Mitsubishi outlander is locally assembled.

    Not forgetting the bargain king, the x70 that now comes with a transmission used in volvos too.

    CKD packs would come much2 later and maybe not all variants might arrive as Japan themselves would want to put their own people to work first and assemble their cars

    BMW X1 new car is RM 220k (this has not include discount) and the Rav 4 is RM 224k. This is the first time we seen non premium Japanese SUV is more expensive than German SUV.

    BMW is not as reliable as Toyota, but BMW offering 5 years unlimited warranty and 5 years free schedule maintenance. It save quite a lot of money plus if buying pre-reg the X1 it only cost RM 190k, save up about RM 30k from buying RAV 4.

    X1
    Pros – Powerful drivetrain, excellent handling, premium brand, free schedule maintenance, cheaper than RAV 4.
    Cons – less active safety features, low resales value.

    RAV 4
    Pros – Reliability, slightly spacious than X1, good handling with new TNGA chassis, low maintenance cost, great active safety features.
    Cons of RAV 4 – high price, less powerful drivetrain, normal badge.

    With this comparison I wondering how many people put their money on RAV 4 over X1.

    Some people put high hope on Toyota dynamic forced engine and 8AT. In fact it is a pure NA engine with so call high thermal efficient structure, the power output is nothing to compare to forced induction engine. And those who expect the 8AT shifting as quick as ZF may find it disappointed as the 8AT shifting time is much slower.

    If compare to BMW X1 7 speed dual clutch the Toyota 8AT is almost a junk. To pay over 200k for a slow powertrain is hard to accept to be honest.

    This is really a joke. But what do i know about cars huh? Paying 200k for a toyota is pure madness. Lets be honest, all cars that come into our shore are sh*t expensive. Only in Malaysia, you drive a bungalow or a luxury condo around in a four wheel. Our ringgit has depreciated to a level where you drive a toyota means you are already super rich. When they made the announcement about RAV4, there are some wishful thinking that they gonna price it around 160k. I told my friend that they already priced camry around 200k; what makes you think they gonna price RAV4 lesser than camry? Well, for those who made positive comments about how nice, how reasonable the price, how damn good is this car; they are obviously either high on drugs or they are toyota salesman. Go check out MULTIPLE reviews on youtube (rav4 vs crv vs cx5); mostly average on rav4. And that also the selling price of rav4 in their country is more or less the same range as cx5 and crv (NOT 50K more). Well, lets see how many are willing to pay 200k for a toyota!?

    To me the interior is quiet boring. Really hate the front grill design, its ugly anyway. Plus the pricing that killed my appetite for the RAV4, just like Camry, Altis and CHR that I observed very rare on the road. So I’m waiting for the new Harrier. Hoping the price would be reasonable. UMW should remove their greedy/tamak haloba/cekik darah image with K (Kosong) specs for their cars
