Overview

Toyota RAV4, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation was the first compact crossover SUV to hit the market. It was first released in Japanese and European market in 1994, and in North American market in 1995. Toyota designed the RAV4 for customers who want a car having most of the advantages of SUVs, like the option of full 4-wheel-drive, higher visibility, roomy cargo space, along with the fuel efficiency and maneuverability of a compact car. Though not all RAV4 cars are 4-wheel-drive, RAV4 means “Recreational Activity Vehicle: 4-wheel-drive”, the reason for it is that the aforementioned equipment is optional in some selected nations.

From 1994 to present, Toyota has produced 5 generations of RAV4. For the 3rd generation, both long- and short-wheelbase versions were given to the RAV4. Long-wheelbase versions are sold in North America and Australia; Short-wheelbase version in Europe and Japan.
