Since the very first Toyota RAV4 debuted in the southern African market in 1994, it has undergone aesthetic and performance evolution multiple times. That future is now here, packed into the latest RAV4, as Pupkewitz Toyota sales consultant Rashaad Matjila puts it. He says the vehicle’s slogan, ‘Power Every Adventure’, was rightfully bestowed.
Matjila points to the engine and gearbox as the perfect entry point, drawing attention to the RAV4’s functionality. “It is a petrol hybrid and you have Toyota’s generations of wealth of experience in hybrid technology under the hood as well, and this gives you fuel consumption like no other,” Matjila says.
Available in four different derivatives ranging from a 2-litre to a 2.5-litre engine delivering 127kW to 137kW (with a combined power of 163kW depending on the model), the RAV4 is rated at 4.3 litres per 100km. To put this in perspective, for a 23.23km drive, it uses only one litre of fuel, depending on the model. In more practical terms, the car will use around 17 litres to reach Swakopmund from Windhoek.
