The Toyota Rav4 was one of the first compact SUV offerings on the market. Defined by cutsey styling and utility, the diminutive size had become a bit of a liability in the US market. The third generation Rav4 is significantly larger. Length has increased by 5.7 in and width by 3.2 in. The added size and a seating system that folds flat greatly increase the cargo hauling capability. The AWD Rav4 features a 2.0L 4-cylinder available with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual.
