Toyota RAV4 4 / CA40

Toyota RAV4 is built on a modified platform of the extended version L of its predecessor with the index XA30. The third Rav 4 with a standard body could not boast of a roomy interior - a wheelchair barely fit in the trunk, and its lid opened to the right. In the fourth generation, the mistakes were corrected. The wheelbase increased by 10 cm, and the length of the body - by 13 cm. In the end, the second row was more than the Mazda CX-5 and Volkswagen Tiguan. The trunk volume increased to 547 liters, and the door began to open up. In 2015, the crossover survived restyling. The design of the front part has changed, bumpers have been updated, and the equipment list has expanded. Initially, Toyota RAV 4 was supplied from Japan, and since August 2016 it began to be assembled in St. Petersburg.

Security

In crash tests according to EuroNCAP version, the fourth-generation RAV4 earned five stars. According to the results of testing of the American organization IIHS, the result was a failure. It is all about a more stringent test method, which involves testing for a frontal impact with a small overlap.

After revisions in 2015, repeated tests were carried out. It turned out that the side of the driver was strengthened, but the right side remained vulnerable to a frontal impact with a small overlap.

Engines

The RAV4 engine lineup is represented by three units: two petrol and one diesel. Basic - 2-liter gasoline (3ZR-FE / 146 hp). Top - gasoline atmospheric volume of 2.5 liters (2AR-FE / 180 hp). Turbodiesel with the commercial designation D-4D has a capacity of 2.2 liters (2AD-FTV) and develops 150 hp. The hybrid version was not available in Russia.

The valve timing drive of all motors is chain. There's no problem with him yet.

2.0

In 2-liter engines after 100-150 thousand km of run from time to time skipped incidents with the current pump (2-10 thousand rubles).

In addition, after 150-200 thousand km, there was a breakdown of the cylinder head laying (60,000 rubles for elimination).

2.5

Some owners had to update the rear oslodle of the crankshaft.

It is worth noting isolated cases of major repairs due to oil and gas, which developed after 150-200 thousand km.

2.2 D

A small batch of diesel engines came under warranty replacement due to the defect of the gasket of the cylinder head. A number of owners of cars of the first year of production faced with the replacement of the gasket only after 150-200 thousand km.

Transmission

The 6-speed manual transmission and the Multidrive S variable variable variable variable were relied on only a 2-liter gasoline engine.

The atmospheric 2.5 along with the diesel 2.2 was combined with a 6-band automatic machine - the U760E / F and U660E, respectively. Both automatic transmissions are developed by Aisin, a company owned by Toyota.

ICSW

So far, the owners had to change the grip after 150-200 thousand km.

Variator.

Owners are most concerned about the variator. But in fact, it shows good reliability. Yes, there were breakdowns, but rarely. The cost of repairs is about 140-190 thousand rubles.

One of the conditions for the durability of the variator is regular oil renewal. The cost of the procedure with the replacement of the filter and gaskets in the walls of the dealer service will be about 19 000 rubles, and in the usual service - about 10 000 rubles.

DISTRIBUTION

The U760, which works in tandem with the 2.5 gasoline, was often sent for repair after 150-200 thousand km. The cost of a full bulkhead is 230-380 thousand rubles.

The U660 combined with diesel proved to be much more enduring.

All-wheel drive system

Front-wheel drive could be only RAV 4 with a basic gasoline engine of 2.0 liters. The other versions were all-wheel drive.

The all-wheel drive system used an electromagnetic clutch mounted in front of the rear differential. It regulates the distribution of torque between the front and rear wheels in the range from 0:100 to 50:50. The electromagnetic clutch (50:50) is also blocked, which is active until the speed of 40 km / h is reached.

The transmission is reliable. Only after 150-200 thousand km, some owners had to change the crosses of the driveshaft (15-18 thousand rubles with work).

With large runs, transmission glands could flow.

Walking

On the front axle of the RAV4 run the Macpherson struts, and on the rear - multi-link circuit.

The walker is quite hardy. In periodic updating need only bushings (every 40-50 thousand km) and racks (after 60-90 thousand km) of the front stabilizer of transverse stability.

Silent blocks of the front levers run over 130-160 thousand km. The first one is usually the back one. Ball supports serve over 150,000 km.

Silent blocks of the rear suspension can wear after 100-150 thousand km. With large runs, sometimes there are difficulties with adjusting the geometry of the rear wheels due to the souring of the collapsed bolts.

Shock absorbers run over 100-150 thousand km. The cost of the front - 4-11 thousand rubles, the rear - 2-11 thousand rubles.

The front bearings had to be changed after 150-200 thousand km. Bearings are assembled with a hub and will cost 4-20 thousand rubles.

Often it is necessary to change the heels of the hubs (50-200 rubles), torn during the replacement of wheels.

The steering rack could only be knocked after 200,000 km. The cost of bulkheads is more than 20 000 rubles.

Other problems and malfunctions

Sometimes the remarks arise to the paint coating of the Toyota RAV 4 body. On the hood and on the roof (closer to the windscreen) chips are formed. The tattered metal on the roof can bloom. Occasionally there are complaints of cracking of paint coating on the surface of the sealant applied from the inside of the doors. Some owners complain about the fogging of the taillights. In addition, the lights had to be changed under warranty due to cracks. After 50-100 thousand km, complaints are received about worn-out door lockers. Remake for all 4 doors is available for 1100 rubles, and one limiter in the collection - for 1200 rubles. The scuffs on the steering wheel could be detected after 20-60 thousand km of run. The steering wheel was changed under warranty, and some twice. Over time, the coating on the automatic transmission handle and silver linings of doors wears out. In some instances, due to the formation of condensation, the ceiling upholstery got wet. Toyota ordered to eliminate the disease by installing felt material of a larger area. A number of RAV4 of the end of 2015-2017 release came under a recall campaign due to the threat of fire. The culprit is heated windshield washer nozzles. Due to the defect, water fell on the heating element, which threatened short circuit and ignition. Unpleasant incidents have taken place. The generator could require attention after 150-200 thousand km of run. Usually it was necessary to update the overtaking clutch (3-6 thousand rubles per detail). After 100-150 thousand km, the electric drive of the trunk is often handed over (24-39 thousand rubles - for a rack with a drive).
