Two different 4x4 systems are available on the Rav4.

And limited grades, there is a new system that contains a differential in each second halfshaft.
These can be locked independently step by step;
If one rear wheel loses grip, the system sends power to the other rear wheel.
Conceptually, it is similar to the system used later by Ford.

The rearview mirror is triangular.
So you can see them instead of trying to see through them.
These help to highlight visibility.
In this place of the world, there are many things worth seeing.
As usual, it will take a while to figure out how to close the annoying head --Up display (I get it;
Some of you like it. I don’t.
Too distracting. )
Similarly, the lane departure warning system, and how to decipher the seven 8 inch touch screen according to the level of decoration.

I \'ve lost the touch screen battle, but again, you can\'t handle one of these things at all and keep an eye on the road.
You can buy Apple CarPlay,-

I have collected some arguments about data privacy.
You can also get a rearview “mirror” —
Because it is not necessarily a mirror, it is in brackets;

Yes, like Cadillac a few years ago.

Yes, it gives you a wider view and it will be especially convenient if there are a lot of people or goods behind your car.
Like Cadillac, it can be turned off as an ordinary mirror.

There are five USB ports.

My source told me that putting a phone in your car now will win you a ticket.
It\'s better to put it away.
Once started, the engine provides a good acceleration and the transmission changes almost unconsciously.
However, when you rely on it, the engine becomes very noisy and very demanding in the upper speed range.
Fortunately, eight
Speed transfer means you rarely need to adjust it that hard.
In normal cruising, it is a proper limit.
I drove it up and down on the Laurel level road in eastern Carmel, which is my favorite Road in the area and what really impressed me was its handling. The rack-

We also brought gas.
The Trail of the engine is on a fairly important off-road —
Well, well, \"trail.
\"I stopped at the steepest uphill section to see if the rear bridge would allow me to start over.
It did, no problem.
By the way, because this is critical for many SUV buyers, the rating of the Trail model is 3,500 pounds (
OK, OK, 1,590 kg).
Then it turns into a RAV4 Hybrid. Here, the 2. 5-

Known as the \"Atkinson\" cycle, this means that the valve timing is completely different in order to damage the power in order to reduce fuel consumption.
It generates 176 hp at 5,700 r. p. m.
The deficit is filled by a pair of electric Madas, one in front and one in the back, generating 118 and 54 horses respectively.
These numbers are not necessarily attached because the power is generated at different speeds.
Toyota calculated the system at 219 horses.
For whatever reason, the engine in this tester, which is essentially the same mechanically as a non-hybrid engine, is not that loud.
Really, electric motor.
Although they are silent
There are times when some work is being done.
But even after the battery was basically exhausted, I was increasing the engine speed to nearly 6,600 r. p. m.
The red line still sounds much quieter.
Now, these are

The engine model is closer to its sales date than the hybrid.
We have to check the production vehicles when they start arriving.
The CVT transmission in a hybrid performs decent and feels almost like a traditional automatic gearbox, but the throttle is faster --
Because there is no actual movement, the induced frequency reduction is higher than the traditional automatic frequency reduction.
Many drivers don\'t like CVTs, just a little bit of a \"motorboat\" feeling that the engine seems to have nothing to do with driving the train.
Note that this feature of CVTs also has to do with how they produce such a good fuel consumption, so you give a little, take a little.

Toyota Canada has lowered the price increase required to enter the RAV4 Hybrid.

They want to double their sales.
Even as optimistic as possible, it still means no.
Sales of hybrid cars will exceed those of hybrid cars.
If Calgary beat Ottawa by 70-30 in last week\'s Grey Cup match, they wouldn\'t give the trophy to the red and black team.
I don\'t think gasoline is expensive enough. I \'ve been around a dollar a liter recently.
On a per liter basis, it is still the cheapest liquid you can buy at most gas stations.

As usual, the value of a hybrid depends on your typical driving day.
If all the conditions are consistent, you will get a maximum battery charge of about 40 km (
Flat roads, warm weather).
In the past, you would almost only run on the engine and carry a bunch of things with you that have just become deadweight.

That\'s why almost all New York City taxis are now hybrid cars.
But if you live in Guelph and travel to and from Scarborough every day, that\'s not that much. . .
