2006 Toyota RAV4

The 2006 Toyota RAV4 is a small and capable SUV that is even better than its predecessors.

It has a V6 engine and measures 3.2 inches wider and 14 inches longer; the wheelbase is 6.7 inches longer. It is available in three trims: Base, Limited and Sports. Third row seating is optional in the RAV4 and has enough leg room and head room. The second row can be reclined and foldable.

The 2006 Toyota RAV4 comes with a 2.4 liter inline four engine which produces 164 hp. A better option is to have a 3.5 liter V6 for a smoother ride, which produces 269 hp. It is a front wheel drive with an optional all-wheel drive.

The latter has a rear differential rather than the central. Traction control, anti-skid and anti lock brake system are standard features. Hill descent control is a standard on the V6 models.
