Raised, the third-row seat provides space adequate only for kids; adults will get a close look at their own knee caps.
Go with the five-seater RAV, and the middle seats are cross-your-legs comfy, especially since the backrest tilts to three positions and the bottom slides fore-and-aft for better legroom. Pull handles in the cargo area topple the two halves of the middle seatbacks like ducks collapsing in a shooting gallery. Unlike on the old RAV4, which sacrificed its unprotected rear door to minor fender benders, the back bumper now stretches from fender to fender.
The side-hinged hatch remains, and heaving TV sets onto the low load floor is weakling's work. The rear glass doesn't open separately. After only a few Camry-quiet miles, the '06 RAV4 makes a convincing case. A thick-rimmed steering wheel feels sporty and delivers sharper response at the helm than we're accustomed to in a Toyota. Electric power steering is usually an omen for numbness, but Toyota has somehow infused the RAV's motorized rack with real precision.
A brainy all-wheel-drive system—with just 7. It senses lateral g and ramps up the torque to the rear axle through its electromechanical clutch pack. With the rear end pushing, corners pass by at unexpectedly high speeds, thanks to the confidence inspired by restrained body roll and muted understeer.
If you're feeling less relaxed, the V-6 supplies gobs of punch power when you want it, and sometimes when you don't—the throttle is touchy off idle, the squirt from the line a little racy if you're not judicious.
Our fuel card reported 16 mpg overall, but we feel duty-bound to disclose that it was set mostly during hard mountain driving. Four discs do the hard mountain braking. In testing, the electronic panic assist repeatedly reduced 70 mph to 0 in a proficient feet.
If you're among the great majority who will go for the four-cylinder engine, we have impressions but not test numbers. The four is solid, smooth, and adequate, injecting just a faint buzz into the serene cabin. On paper anyway, it's only a slightly better hedge against oil prices 27 combined mpg on AWD models versus 26 for the V Toyota boasts a shift logic in both the four- and five-speed automatics that keeps the transmission from hunting on uphill grades.
Nevertheless, in California's Santa Ynez Mountains, our four-cylinder trilled in and out of overdrive so fast that we reported it to Toyota as a likely software glitch. Another consideration: The RAV's towing capacity is just pounds with the inline-four but more than double at with the V-6 and its optional towing package. Toyotas can be so benign, so vanilla, that they'll slip right through your hands without leaving an impression. Not the new RAV4. This is such a handsome, useful, and startlingly competent driver that it's hard to imagine a do-it-all vehicle that does more with such aplomb.
On the outside, there is also little to discriminate the Sport from the Limited. Probably the biggest difference in the exteriors of the Sport and the Limited is the bigger wheels of the Sport. The difference may just be an inch but it makes the Sport have a taller stance as well as an increased turning radius. Just something worth noting, the wheels of the two are not really compatible as the wheels of the Sport has 5 spokes while that of the Limited has 6.
