The Toyota Rav4\u00a0 – one of the best-selling SUVs in the country – has been given minor specification touch-ups for the local market.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Toyota said that tactile feel of the \u2018wheel has also been bolstered with the inclusion of leather upholstery.<\/p>\n

On the exterior front, a new metallic red hue has been added to the colour palette, the Japanese car maker said.<\/p>\n
