Toyota RAV4 SUV – Exterior:
From the Exterior, The RAV4 hybrid has good looks too, with its large bumper, sizeable grille and lower air dam, sleek headlights all give it that distinctive Toyota look. While the side profile does have a few creases here and there and a massive wheel arch gap, as befits an SUV, the glass area seems a bit small in pictures. At the back, the tailgate is huge and also integrates with the bumper portion, the taillights are combined by a styling strip and there is also a small spoiler atop the tailgate.
Toyota RAV4 SUV – Interior:
Interior-wise, the Toyota RAV4 hybrid is minimalist and functional at best. There are chrome touches around the infotainment screen, centre console, air vents, door cards, etc, but this does change depending on the model, since Toyota also offers colour-coded bits. Thus, exterior and interior might sport changes and it all depends on what trim-level Toyota brings to India. We expect the SUV to be fully-loaded to say the least.
