4 Wheel-Drive Toyota RAV4 2011
Since the first generation Toyota RAV4 (Recreational Active Vehicle with 4 wheel drive) was launched in Europe in 1994, more than one million customers have come to appreciate the compactness, maneuverability and flexibility, combined with the reliability of more advanced four-wheel drive system in the segment.
Although the compact SUV segment in the European market has remained stable at slightly less than 5% of total vehicle sales, segment recently took a new group of customers who bought an SUV is a proposal is more emotional than rational.
These customers still appreciate the high driving position, spaciousness, flexibility and security to offer a compact SUV, but have less need for 4WD. Instead, they put more emphasis on distinctive, sophisticated styling, interior design and top quality fuel efficient, environmentally friendly performance combined with an interesting driving experience. Making its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show this year, a new, expanded coverage of the Toyota RAV4 meet each of these application models, without sacrificing any of the core values of Toyota’s compact SUV.
Immediately identify it as the latest addition to a range of Toyota, Toyota’s new RAV4 offers a more sophisticated design chromeaccented before, highlighting the vast size of the vehicle and stable position.

When combined with the 4 wheel drive, the device returns to in-class CO2 emissions for both manual and automatic transmissions.
Six-speed automatic transmission
2.2 D-4D 150 is a six-speed automatic is smooth and fast response while maintaining an impressive level of comfort by eliminating the shock difficult. A “sport” mode provides a more aggressive move by using the AI-Shift Control (Artificial Intelligence Shift Control).
New transmission also features a new item, 6-speed Sport Direct Shift manual control selector with gear selection mode M is carried by lever change in speed or direction of change wheelmounted rowing. M-mode provides a driving experience more sporty, with the lock-up used in the function of speed for 2-6 wide variety of gear ratios possible.
6-speed Sport Direct Shift automatic is also included, the opening of a second gas “to maximize the speed and ease of downchanges. Multidrive The S transmission, drivers can also use the paddle shift temporarily disable the automatic mode.
2.2 liter D-4D 180 diesel engines
Also equipped with Toyota D-CAT technology, and mated to a six-speed manual transmission with the 4WD system Integrated Active Drive, powerful 2.2 D-4D develops 180 DIN hp/130 unit 177 kilowatts at 3600 rpm and 400Nm of torque at 2000-2800 rpm . Engine provides the performance of 0-100 km / h in 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 200 km / h
Integrated Active Drive System
Toyota RAV4 is available with front-wheel drive, 2WD or 4WD Toyota evolved Active Drive System Integration (IADS). IADS is a sophisticated technology, high-speed system of interactive management, through a sensor located in the active control of vehicleintegrates Toyota RAV4 Couple 4WD, stability control (VSC) and Electric Power Steering (EPS) system to improve the performance of the Toyota RAV4, handling and safety.
IADS key, Active Torque Control 4WD system constantly monitors and controls torque transfer between front and rear wheels via a controlled electromagnetic coupling at the rear differential, to optimize traction and vehicle stability in all driving conditions.
Front to rear torque distribution varies from 100:0 to 55:45, with front-wheel drive (100:0) would be automatically under normal driving conditions to improve fuel consumption. Combining Lock button 4WD system, allows the driver to lock the torque split in the ratio of 55:45 to give maximum traction off-road.
Coordinates of the active operation of IADS Torque Control 4WD system with VSC on Toyota RAV4, and the results not only control the speed of each wheel (like in the conventional VSC), but also to adjust the transfer of torque between the front wheels and rear wheel torque increase aid to help combat driver skid.
