Toyota RAV4 — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

|Home / Toyota / Toyota RAV4 Model List Without a Timing Belt

The Toyota RAV4 is a compact crossover SUV (B-segment in Europe) manufactured by the Japanese marque Toyota. It stands for Recreational Activity Vehicle 4-wheel drive. Among with the Nissan Qashqai, it can be considered one of the pioneers in the SUV bodyshop that is a trendsetter nowadays. Its first version was launched in 1994 and was a sales hit in Japan, Europe and the United States. Other Japanese competitors were quick to follow the trail that the Toyota RAV4 opened, creating then a vehicle with an off-the-road aesthetic, but for a generic use. Some of these automakers already had off-roaders, but they were specifically designed for rough terrains.

Five generations of the Toyota RAV4 exist to date.
