PLANO,
Texas, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota is
taking the RAV4 Hybrid to a whole new level of adventure with the
new 2023 Woodland Edition. Equipped with everything needed for an
outdoor excursion, the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition is the first
hybrid off-road special edition SUV for the brand.
The arrival of the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition to dealerships
this fall also demonstrates our support for a charitable endeavor.
To support local communities and make our public lands more
accessible and enjoyable for Americans of all abilities, Toyota is
proud to contribute $500,000 to the
National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) toward improving
accessibility in these beloved spaces. Through local outreach
projects, education programs and accessibility improvement efforts,
Toyota and NEEF will make an impact that goes beyond the
pavement.
TRD-Tuned & Ready
The new RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition, available in Midnight
Black Metallic, Cavalry Blue and Ice Cap exterior colors, offers a
distinctively rugged exterior and premium interior styling with the
versatile features one would expect from the fifth-generation RAV4.
Featuring a TRD-tuned suspension, the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition
is engineered to enhance body control and small-bump isolation to
help smooth out trails and rough city streets. Coil springs are
tuned for an off-road focus and bump stops maximize
compression-direction wheel travel. The twin-tube shocks feature
internal rebound springs for optimal roll control and unique
valving to help body control over large bumps and dips.
Designed with a focus on versatility and efficiency, the RAV4
Hybrid Woodland Edition also comes standard with Falken WILDPEAK AT
tires for optimal off-roading, raised black roof rack cross bars to
pack an array of supplies for a weekend camping trip and a 120V
inverter to power-up an array of compatible household items for a
short day trip or an overnight camping excursion. Other mentionable
standard features include:
- Flow-formed Bronze-colored wheels for greater strength
- Custom all-weather floor and cargo mats
- Black badging
- Black mud guards
- Dual black chrome-tipped exhaust
And with the roominess to fit people, pets, and recreational
gear – the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition also comes standard with
features like LED projector-beam headlights and integrated fog
lights. Handy storage abounds in the RAV4 Hybrid, including the
console's large volume, side-by-side cup holders and an open tray
capable of holding small items. In addition, an in-dash tray within
easy reach of the front passenger can hold electronics, sunglasses
and other travel must-haves. Rear seat passengers will appreciate
the spacious cabin. The rear cargo area features a reversible cargo
floor insert as well as side nets for storing small items. The
60/40 folding rear seats easily expand the rear cargo area.
Hybrid+AWD for RAV4 Woodland Edition
Engineered to tackle urban, suburban and outdoor adventures, the
fifth-generation RAV4 is built on Toyota New Global Architecture
(TNGA-K) platform. With a boldly chiseled design inspired by
Toyota's tough trucks, this latest RAV4 amplifies the desirable
crossover traits that made the first RAV4 an instant success a
quarter-century ago. Depending on model grade and options, the
current RAV4 can be whatever the customer needs it to be, from the
exceptionally well equipped LE model to a technology tour de force
plug-in hybrid, with various levels of luxury and adventure in
between.
In any RAV4 Hybrid, the Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) works
in sync with the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine to make
the hybrid models performance and efficiency leaders of the RAV4
family. It is truly the no-compromise compact SUV.
In the hybrid models, a Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT)
is exclusively paired with an Electronic All-Wheel Drive system
(AWD), making it possible to operate at all vehicle speeds. An
improvement from previous generation, the rear axle motor operates
proactively anytime rear torque would be beneficial to keep the
vehicle on the driver's intended line, or when conditions get
slippery. The AWD system uses an independent electric motor at the
rear wheels, rather than a torque-distribution system in the
transmission and additional driveshaft to the rear.
New to RAV4: Toyota Audio Multimedia and Gauge Cluster
Tech
RAV4 for 2023 will receive some updates across all trims, as
well. For 2023, all RAV4 models have the new Toyota Audio
Multimedia system.
Thanks to the Toyota Audio Multimedia system designed and
engineered by Toyota's Texas-based
Connected Technology team, RAV4 drivers will be at the ready thanks
to a wide range of enhanced connectivity and convenience features,
including being Over-the-Air (OTA) updatable. Users can interact
with the system through intuitive touch and voice activation
controls. With the available Connected Service Drive Connect trial
or subscription, drivers and passengers have access to Intelligent
Assistant, Cloud Navigation and Destination Assist. With
Intelligent Assistant, simple phrases like "Hey Toyota" awaken the
system for voice activated commands to search for directions, find
Points of Interest (POI), adjust audio controls, change the cabin
temperatures and more. Cloud Navigation, the available onboard
navigation solution, utilizes the cloud to download the latest
available map, traffic and routing information. To ensure users
have the most up-to-date search capabilities, POI search is
provided by Google Points-of-Interest data. Destination Assist also
gives access to 24/7 live agent assistance to locate the next
destination.
The new Toyota Audio Multimedia allows for dual Bluetooth® phone
connectivity, with support for standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and
Android Auto™ compatibility. With further connectivity, the RAV4
has an available Wi-Fi Connect trial or subscription that offers 4G
connectivity for up to five devices – turning the RAV4 into an
AT&T Hotspot. Adding to the already robust offering of audio
playback ability with HD Radio®, USB data and a SiriusXM® Platinum
Plan 3-month trial subscription, an active Wi-Fi Connect trial or
subscription also enables the new Integrated Streaming feature,
providing the ability to link separate Apple Music® and Amazon
Music subscriptions to the vehicle for onboard control.
New for 2023, RAV4 receives upgrades to both its Multimedia and
Multi-Information Display screens, as well. An 8-inch Multimedia
screen now comes standard on LE/Hybrid LE, XLE/Hybrid XLE, XLE
Premium/Hybrid XLE Premium, Adventure and Hybrid SE, while TRD
Off-Road, Hybrid XSE, Limited/Hybrid Limited, and Prime XSE now all
come standard with a new 10.5-inch Multimedia display for 2023.
Also new to RAV4 for 2023 is a 12.3-inch Multi-Information Display
that comes standard on Limited/Hybrid Limited and Prime XSE. The
12.3-inch display is an optional upgrade on XLE Premium/Hybrid XLE
Premium, TRD Off-Road and Hybrid XSE grades. A 7-inch
Multi-Information Display screen is also now standard on LE/Hybrid
LE, XLE/Hybrid XLE and Hybrid SE grades.
Standard Safety
The 2023 RAV4 comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5,
Toyota's suite of active safety systems. It includes Pre-Collision
System with Pedestrian Detection that features enhancements over
the previous generation, including the ability to detect an
oncoming vehicle or a pedestrian at intersections when making a
turn. The Pre-Collision System is designed to detect vehicles,
pedestrians and bicyclists and provide audio/visual alerts and
automatic braking in certain conditions. Emergency steering assist
is an additional function designed to detect pedestrians and
stabilize the driver's emergency evasive steering maneuvers and
help prevent lane departure.
TSS2.5 on RAV4 also includes Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar
Cruise Control (DRCC). Lane Departure Alert is designed to notify
the driver via audible alert if it senses the vehicle is leaving
the lane without engaging a turn signal. When DRCC is set and
engaged, Lane Tracing Assist is designed to assist the driver by
providing a slight steering force to help center the vehicle in its
lane using visible lane markers or a preceding vehicle.
Automatic High Beams are designed to detect preceding or
oncoming vehicles and automatically switch between high beam and
low beam headlights. Road Sign Assist is designed to recognize
certain road sign information using a forward-facing camera and
display them on the multi-information display (MID).
In addition to the TSS 2.5 system, other standard safety
features include Blind Spot Monitor, which is designed to help
detect and warn you of vehicles approaching or positioned in the
adjacent lanes. Rear Cross Traffic Alert can offer added peace of
mind by helping to detect vehicles approaching from either side
while backing out and alerting you with a visual and audible
warning. Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking is
designed to provide warning and if needed, implement brake control
when there's a possibility of a collision with a stationary object
or an approaching vehicle while parking. In addition to TSS 2.5,
the RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition is equipped with Toyota's Star
Safety System, which includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution
(EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Smart
Stop Technology (SST). Available safety technologies include Blind
Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Bird's Eye
View Camera, Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) and Rear Cross
Traffic Braking (RCTB) system.
Toyota's Rear Seat Reminder also comes standard on RAV4. The
feature can note whether a rear door was opened within 10 minutes
of the vehicle being turned on, or at any time after the vehicle
has been turned on, with a reminder message in the instrument
cluster after the engine is turned off, accompanied by multitone
chimes.
Toyota Limited Warranty
Toyota's 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies
to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items.
Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000
miles and against perforation from corrosion for 60 months with no
mileage limitation. Hybrid-related components that require repairs
needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship are covered
