Active All Wheel Drive
Advanced Active All Wheel Drive (AWD) means you’re steadier on your feet. Because power is dynamically distributed, you get far better handling in all conditions. You also get the added safety of Downhill Assist Control (DAC) (automatic transmission models only), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)& Traction Control (TRC).
 
ABS with EBD & BA
On the All New RAV4, safety isn't an option - it's standard. All RAV4 models come with an advanced Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) standard, helping you stay well out of harm’s way – no matter what the surface. The RAV4 ABS system includes:

* ABS - ABS helps prevent your wheels from locking up, so you’re less likely to skid under heavy braking. Wheel lock-up is a major cause of accidents because steering control is lost once the drive wheels begin to skid.
* Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) - Helps redistribute braking force according to changing vehicle loads.
* Brake Assist (BA) - When you brake fast and hard, Brake Assist interprets this as emergency braking. If you haven't hit the brakes hard enough, it dynamically increases braking power.

 
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)

VSC helps provide optimal traction in cornering. As a result, VSC dampens understeer (loss of front-wheel grip) and oversteer (loss of rear-wheel grip), ensuring a much safer drive.

* Dual front SRS airbags – Driver and front passenger SRS (Supplementary Restraint System) airbags are standard.
* Safe-T-Cell – Toyota’s revolutionary impact absorbing cabin disperses the impact of collision instead of transferring it to your and your passengers.
* Side door anti-intrusion beams – The doors of the All New RAV4 contain side impact beams which help protect you and your passengers if you’re struck from the side by another vehicle.
* Impact absorbing steering column – Because the All New RAV4’s steering column compresses slightly on impact, it helps absorb the force, rather than transferring it to the driver.
* Force-limiting seat belts – Pre-tensioner and force-limiter front seat belts automatically retract to hold the occupants snugly during frontal collisions, then reduce tension when they reach a predetermined load, reducing the risk of chest injury.

 
Advanced Active All Wheel Drive (AWD)

With the All New RAV4, Toyota introduces Active AWD. By engaging only when the front wheels lose traction, Active AWD gives you real-time control of your vehicle while also conserving engine power and fuel. Of course, you can manually engage AWD at any time with the touch of a button (at vehicle speed below 40km/h). But the improvements don't stop there!

Downhill Assist Control (DAC) - Automatic transmission models only - helps you control the vehicle on steep descents by controlling the vehicle’s speed without locking the wheels
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) – delivers smoother hill starts by preventing vehicle roll-back when taking off on steep or slippery inclines
Traction Control (TRC) – senses when a wheel slips and brakes each wheel independently and distributing power to the wheels with the greatest traction

 
More power
The All New RAV4 delivers a knockout blow with its powerful 2 litre VVT-i DOHC engine. Now with more power (112kW @ 6000rpm) and considerable torque (194Nm@4000rpm). So it not only talks the talk, it also walks the walk.
