About Toyota RAV-4
The Toyota RAV4 was updated for the 2006 model year, employing an entirely new platform, and debuted at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show. It is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system.
The third-generation RAV4 is available in two wheelbase lengths: short and long. The short-wheelbase RAV4 is exclusively available in Japan, Europe, and New Zealand (diesel only in New Zealand), while the long-wheelbase RAV4 is available in Australia, New Zealand, and North America. Since 2007, the extended-length RAV4 has been available in Japan alongside its shorter sibling as the Toyota Vanguard, but with a changed front-end bodywork that includes a new grille, bumper, bonnet, and headlamps. When the larger XA40 debuted in 2012, the short wheelbase model was continued in production for the Japanese market and sold alongside the new model until 2016.
Toyota NETZ dealers began selling Japanese models in 2005.
The 3-door model was discontinued in early 2007, leaving Toyota without a tiny SUV until the 2009 Toyota Urban Cruiser, which is available in Europe, North America (as the Scion xD), and Japan (as the Toyota ist).
The XA30 series RAV4 was available in Japan until July 2016, when it was replaced by the XA40. Toyota phased out the Vanguard in November 2013, replacing it with the revised XU60 Harrier. The RAV4 became more expensive to own in Japan as it grew in size and engine displacement, putting it in the highest tax band as specified by Japanese government dimension limits and annual road tax responsibilities.
