8 Reasons You Should Wait For 2025 Toyota RAV4 (Don't Buy 2024!?)

the current generation of Toyota's compact SUV has been around for years but that doesn't stop it from being the most popular vehicle in the world with over a million units sold just in 2022 nevertheless the Japanese giant wants to continue the same Trend in the future so it's preparing a completely new generation of This SUV officials claim it'll be better than the predecessor in many aspects and therefore we did some research and already found eight reasons on why you should wait for the 2025 Toyota Rav 4 instead of buying a still great current generation model start with a countdown number eight all new design of course the most obvious reason is that the 2025 Rav 4 will represent a completely new generation so far officials have been quiet about design Solutions and features but if we consider the sales numbers it's super easy to Guess that there will be no radical changes the evolution of this Almost Perfect Design will continue that's why we expect to see the new generation writing on the same but updated version of the G platform which will bring subtle but quite comprehensive changes and improvements in in all Fields the new version of the platform will open up many possibilities particularly in terms of implementation of new technologies the Next Generation Rav 4 will be able to adapt more advanced hybrid powertrains along with the latest tech features including the latest active Drive Assist systems more over it'll bring an updated chassis design would improve rigidity a new suspension setup and other tweaks that'll have a big impact on the overall Driving Experience number seven more attractive look one of the major Novelties that is about to come with this redesign is the new look the current model still looks nice despite the age but it's time to move on and bring something even more modern and while officials are still quiet there is a bunch of unofficial renderings that show the evolution of the current design that goes in a pretty interesting Direction namely the grill design is similar but somehow Bolder compared to the previous generation while the headlights are a bit narrower such a combination provides a bolder and more aggressive look but at the same time the new model looks smoother mainly because of the Sleek profile line that moves the the new model even further from the rafor original SUV design and definitely puts it in the crossover category some of these renderings even show a sloping roof line that creates a coupe crossover look but we're not sure if Toyota designers are ready to go that far number six new hybrid bow trains several sources suggest that the Japanese car maker is about to drop the gas only version from the offer and start selling the super popular SUV only as a hybrid as the automotive world is leading more and more toward electrification this makes perfect sense and indicates further expansion of the electrified lineup the current hybrid powertrain with 219 horsepower and a quite impressive fuel efficiency could easily carry over with minor changes we would see the same overall setup based on the same 2.5 L inline 4 Engine with minor tweaks only which would result in a slight power increase and even better fuel economy on the other hand the plug-in hybrid version known as the Rav 4 Prime might come with more and more significant changes as you may know Toyota recently presented new PL plugin hybrid technology with new batteries and claims that Vehicles will be able to make over 100 miles in EV mode the new raav 4 Prime might come with some of these batteries and bring a significant increase of the EV range which is currently at a quite respectable 42 mies of course bigger batteries indicate more capable electric motors so the max output should be even more impressive than the current generation which is rated at 302 horsepower finally a number of experts suggest a high performance version something that the current generation has been missing namely this particular version would feature a hybrid powertrain that puts a little bit more focus on the driving experience and by that we're primarily thinking of something that doesn't come with a CVT the first system that comes to mind is the one that you can find in the crown based on a 2.4 L turbo 4 engine with a Max output of 340 horsepower most importantly that powertrain comes coupled with a conventional six-speed automatic transmission number five new special edition buyers are perfectly aware of the fact that the Rav 4 is such an impressive seller and with so many RAV 4S on the street many of them want to stand out in some way to be different from the crowd Toyota management became aware of this relatively recently and started offering special versions of its super popular SUV but the offer of such versions is still quite modest and limited to a couple of off-road oriented models such as the TRD off-road and the Very Fresh Woodland Edition which is reserved for Hybrid models only so what we expect to see from the new generation is a broader range of models that stand out in some specific way we expect to see all kinds of special editions not necessarily off-road oriented models some versions May stand out with unique styling details While others may offer further suspension and Chassis upgrades the ladder particularly refers to the aformentioned new hybrid option with automatic transmission in 340 horsepower which would definitely need some additional upgrades Under the Skin to deal with such high output and provide proper Driving Experience some sources speculate that this version could come as the Rav 4 gr with sport suspension bigger brakes and a solid portion of visual upgrades number four more passenger room the current model features quite impressive exterior Dimensions but on the other hand its wheelbase is actually shorter compared to many rivals and that reflects the passenger space too it's not that the outgoing model lacks any but some competitors are more comfortable while some even come with the optional third roove seats and what can really help with this problem is a wheel base that's a bit longer which plays a critical role when it comes to leg room in that way the ra for would once again be among class leaders in this aspect furthermore we could see minor improvements in terms of cargo space as well though we have to say that the current model is already quite impressive in this aspect although the overall volume of the second row seats down is a little bit behind key competitors the amount of space behind the second row is onp par with class Rivals and the new generation could only make things even better number three nicer interior and Tech features although nice the current model starts to show its age on the inside more precisely younger Rivals look more obscure scale due to the use of nicer materials and more modern tech features that's exactly what we expect to see from the Next Generation 2025 Rav 4 it should bring more attractive Aesthetics complemented by a good portion of the latest tech goodies including a bigger infotainment screen as well as a digital instrument cluster which should be part of the standard equipment but besides a more appealing look there are also some pretty substantial changes that Toyota needs to make on This SUV that particularly refers to the sound insulation which has always been one of the weakest points in toyot Vehicles the current rafor is a typical example with a solid amount of Road and wind noise which definitely isn't something you would expect from a modern SUV of this size and price number two safety Sense 3.0 Toyota has always been famous for its approach to safety and the rav war never lacked any modern system moreover it was always among class leaders and that Trend will continue with the Next Generation which is about to feature the latest Toyota safety Sense 3.0 Suite of safety features with massive improvements in various aspects first of all the new version of The Suite brings completely new Radars and sensors so systems like forward Collision warning and automatic emergency braking offer enhanced support and besides passengers and cyclists can also detect motorcyclists for the same reason the adaptive cruise control detects vehicles from longer distances which allows longer preset distances and smoother braking and acceleration other systems also bring major improvements Lane departure alert brings enhanced Lane recognition while Lane tracing assist now has the ability to steer the vehicle in its Lane and provide more space for objects passing in an adjacent Lane we should also mention the allnew system called proactive driving assist which helps drivers with steering and breaking in various challenging situations while the traffic sign recognition detects even more sign types than before number one production starts soon one of the biggest reasons to wait for the 2025 Rav 4 is the launch date simply said you won't have to wait for too long to get the Next Generation Rav 4 because it's already in development and production should start already in the next year it may be early for a more precise launch date but we're pretty sure that the first examples will be hitting the showrooms in the second half of 2024 on the other hand it's still too early to speculate about the price but we presume it'll be a little bit higher compared to the outgoing model thanks for watching and see you next time
