Third Generation RAV4
The 2006 Toyota RAV4 didn't just get a facelift -- the vehicles shown at the 2005 SEMA show in Las Vegas are the first of a brand new generation for the automaker's popular small SUV.Longer, wider, more streamlined -- that's the new RAV4. The standard 4-cylinder engine is more powerful than in previous years and a V6 is available on all models for drivers who want or need more of a boost.
Toyota removed the mouldings from the windshield and door glass, improving looks, enhancing aerodynamics and reducing wind noise. A two-ply hood insulator is available and should help reduce cabin noise even more.
