High-performance and low-fuel consumption VVT-i engine |
The extraordinary performance of VVT-i depends on the adopted Variable Valve Timing-intelligent System of which inlet valve is controlled by computer in accordance with running situation such as engine speed and throttle opening extent, etc. This device makes car exert more powerful dynamic performance and torsional performance in most daily-used medium and low speed field. Especially, in the urban area with complex road situation, feeling of starting and accelerating is also smooth and free. Meanwhile, electronic throttle valve and newly-designed fuel injection are also used to realize high performance, low fuel consumption and low-emission environmental protection performance.

| 4WD (Active torque transfer control 4WD system) |
|
| Outstanding obstacle performance of RAV4 comes from advanced 4WD system. Electric-control coupling device can judge information concerning driving speed, turning and road situation and the like collected by sensor to distribute the most suitable torque to front and rear wheels, adjust to optimum running state, exerting abundant power output, showing flexible and smooth operation performance. Ideal fuel economy is also realized while improving high-speed driving stability. Under good urban road situation, RAV can also approach to travelling mode of front-driven car; let you drive freely between urban area and open field. |
Auto mode (Automatic mode)
When starting, auto mode can ensure equivalent tractive quality and stability to complete time 4WD.
When travelling stably, reduce distribution of torque to rear wheel automatically to reach equivalent running mode of front-wheel drive. Attention is given to both abundant power and low fuel consumption.
When braking, electronic-control transmission shaft will be released to make ABS (Anti-lock braking system) reach optimum state.
When turning at low speed, avoid brake being locked through reducing torque distribution to rear wheels
|
LOCK mode (Four-wheel drive lock mode) |
 |
| Under Lock mode, car enters four-wheel drive state. Through maximum torque distribution to rear wheels to generate powerful tractive force to help car get away from sludgy or krystic road situation to bring you to drive at open field freely. When mph exceeds 40km, Lock mode is released, switching to Auto mode automatically. |

2WD (2.0L luxury standard configuration) |
TRC(Traction control system) |
When starting or accelerating on slippery road, TRC can ensures optimum driving force by controlling idle running of driving wheel to make car accelerate stably.
Hill Assist - Downhill Control System（HAC\DAC）
HAC\DAC enables RAV4 have outstanding obstacle performance and excellent steering performance of professional SUV.
When starting on craggy and slippery slope, HAC will apply brake pressure to four wheels rapidly (About 2 seconds) to prevent backward slip to the maximum extent to keep stable starting on slope and smooth climbing up.
On downhill path, DAC can help driver to keep constant low speed to prevent wheels from being locked so as to improve driving stability and ensure safety on downhill path. (DAC is equipped on AT model).
