VVTL-i combines valve timing with lift that adjusts in two depending on engine speed. The is not only more torque but a much broader torque to give strong response at all

An safety feature is found in door mirror which has a effect that makes the droplets cling to the surface a film, minimising degradation of The mirrors also have a effect that breaks up matter to prevent surface from building up.

When the generation of the Toyota RAV4 was in 1994, it started a new trend for 4WD sport-utility vehicles (SUVs). It was a urban SUV which offered handling, ride comfort and Now comes the second generation continues the original concept ‘Stylish and Rugged’ as the key theme.

The engineers revised the 4-wheel suspension system to complement the rigid body and create handling with high-speed At the same time, careful of the dampers has endowed the RAV4 a more comfortable ride.
