What's New? A Whole Lot!
The RAV4 has always been a popular choice for Singaporean families and individuals, and this latest iteration builds on that success with a host of improvements. Let's break down the key upgrades:

While specific engine details for the Singapore market are still being confirmed, expect a refinement of Toyota’s proven hybrid technology.
- Tech-Forward Interior: Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a redesigned cabin brimming with modern technology. A larger touchscreen infotainment system (likely featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) takes centre stage, providing seamless connectivity. Other potential enhancements include a digital instrument cluster and upgraded driver-assistance features.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Safety remains a top priority for Toyota. The new RAV4 is expected to boast an upgraded Toyota Safety Sense suite, potentially including features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, and more. These advancements aim to provide an even safer and more confident driving experience.
- Sleek & Modern Exterior: The exterior design has received a significant makeover, with a more sculpted and aggressive look. Expect a bolder front grille, sharper headlights, and a more dynamic overall silhouette. The RAV4 now looks even more contemporary and appealing.
