Toyota reveals new Rav4 for South Africa – with prices
The Toyota Rav4 – one of the best-selling SUVs in the country – has been given minor specification touch-ups for the local market.
“With a host of comfort and convenience features, seating for five and a myriad of cup-holders and storage compartments, road trips are a cinch.
“Making long-distance trips even more relaxing now is the fitment of Cruise Control to all GX derivatives,” Toyota said. “Drivers can operate the system easily from the multi-function steering mounted switchgear.”
Toyota said that tactile feel of the ‘wheel has also been bolstered with the inclusion of leather upholstery.
On the exterior front, a new metallic red hue has been added to the colour palette, the Japanese car maker said.
