The Toyota RAV4 is a big hit in the current compact SUV space. Whether it is the Volkswagen's Tiguan or Honda's CR-V, it is easily crushed under the feet, and there is a feeling of "cold in the heights"! And just recently, the 2023 model RAV4 was not officially unveiled, although the new car is a change made on the basis of the original design, but the composition of the entire effect is just right, such as the long-disappeared "hardcore" sense has finally returned. But in the face of the new design concept, a considerable number of netizens call it "Kill Matt"!
As is customary, let's briefly understand this car first, the traditional layout has not changed, but it is obviously more rigid in detail. For example, the traditional central mesh for the first time uses two different grille compositions, one is still a black grid layout, and the other is the double bar line in the figure, of which the latter has a more direct sense of power. The layout of the headlights has also become more complex, coupled with the carbon black element, the sense of power is instantly increased by a grade, in addition, the shape of the fog lights in the position of the binaural layout has become more profound, better showing the layering of the new car.
The new car has not changed much in size, and the sharpness of the side waistline seems to be much weaker than that of the previous version, and the windows and roof are treated with blackening, which further adds to the sporty atmosphere of the car. The front and rear wheel eyebrows adopt a different layout, with multiple shapes of wheel eyebrows, bringing a better sense of vision! When it comes to the rear, the taillights still take on a parallelogram and blend perfectly with the lines of the entire car. The rear encirclement still plays a finishing touch, and the exhaust side is the exhaust of the small aperture of the bilateral single.
The picture above is the interior layout of the new car, we noticed that the central control screen of the new car was upgraded from the previous 10.1 inches to 10.5 inches, and equipped with a new generation of infotainment systems, while the dashboard will be upgraded from the previous 7 inches to 12.3 inches. Therefore, the new car has a significant improvement in the entire display, not only that, the new car has also been optimized in terms of active safety, such as upgrading the active brake, adaptive cruise and other systems, and increasing the road traffic warning system. As for the other aspects of the interior, there is not much difference from the previous generation.
The picture above shows another version of the grille, and the overall motion effect should be more direct. Finally, let's look at the powertrain. The new vehicle is expected to continue to be equipped with a 2.0-liter pure fuel version, a 2.5-liter gasoline-electric hybrid and a 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid engine, and the drivetrain will match the CVT and E-CVT gearbox. In addition, some models will also provide intelligent electronically controlled four-wheel drive systems. The new car is expected to hit the market in the first quarter of next year, I don't know what you think of the car!
