Toyota RAV4 2nd gen 2000 - 2005 - Used vehicle
Toyota RAV4
Toyota RAV4 is produced from 2000 to 2005.
It comes in a three- or five-door station wagon, and in two models, the Edge and Cruiser.
The main difference between them is appearance. The Edge model comes with non-lacquered gray bumpers and side trims, mirrors and door handles, and prominent steel wheels while the Cruiser model has lacquered bumpers and slats, mirrors and door handles, aluminum rims and ABS brakes.
All models are equipped with a new 2.0L VVT petrol engine with all-wheel drive.
An optional ABS system is available on the Toyota RAV4 Edge. Air conditioning is installed on both models.
Other engines available include 2.0 diesel and 1.8 and 2.4 petrol. Their power is 122 hp and 148 hp respectively for gasoline engines.
Gasoline engine consumption is around 8.8 L while diesel consumption is around 7.2 L / 100 km, combined.
The RAV4 came in three equipment packages: the NV, which has two-wheel drive, and the NRG, GX and VX, which have all-wheel drive.
In 2004, a facelift was made that resulted in a minor change in design, equipment improvements, and in some regions, with the new 2.4bhp 161-liter petrol engine.
The Toyota RAV4 Edge model has been renamed the CV and has been upgraded to include new lacquered bumpers, circular fog lights, and white flashing lights.
In 2005, a new Toyota RAV4 CV Sport was added to the offering, with a front spoiler on the hood, giving it a more aggressive look.
