The RAV4 engine range is represented by three units: two petrol and one diesel. Base - 2-liter gasoline (3ZR-FE / 146 hp). The top one is a 2.5-liter gasoline aspirator (2AR-FE / 180 hp). The turbodiesel with the commercial designation D-4D has a capacity of 2.2 liters (2AD-FTV) and develops 150 hp.
The timing drive of all motors is chain. There are no problems with it so far. There are no complaints about the reliability of the engines themselves and attachments.
Only in 2-liter engines from time to time incidents slipped with the current pomp. And a small batch of diesel engines came under warranty replacement due to a defective cylinder head gasket.
The 6-speed manual transmission and stepless variator Multidrive S relied only on the 2-liter petrol engine. Atmospheric 2.5, along with diesel 2.2, was combined with a 6-band automatic (U660E / U760E). Both automatic transmissions were developed by Aisin, a Toyota concern.
Owners are most concerned about the variator. But in reality, it demonstrates good reliability. Yes, there have been crashes, but very rarely.
One of the conditions for the durability of the variator is regular oil updates.
Front-wheel drive could only be RAV 4 with a base 2.0-liter gasoline engine. The remaining versions were all-wheel drive.
The all-wheel drive system uses 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. There is also a blocking of the electromagnetic clutch (50:50), which is active until a speed of 40 km / h is reached.
The transmission is reliable. Only after 80-120 thousand km did some owners have to change the driveshaft crosses.
MacPherson struts work on the front axle of the RAV4, and a multi-link scheme on the rear axle. Running enough hardy. Only bushings (every 40-50 thousand km) and struts (after 60-90 thousand km) of the front anti-roll bar need to be periodically updated.
Rear suspension silent blocks can wear out after 100-150 thousand km. With high mileage, sometimes there are difficulties with adjusting the geometry of the rear wheels due to souring breakup bolts.
Shock absorbers run over 100-150 thousand km.
Front wheel bearings in some cases had to be changed after 80-120 thousand km ..
Often it is necessary to change the hub studs, broken off during the replacement of wheels.
Body iron Toyota RAV 4 does not bloom yet. Sometimes comments arise to the paintwork. Chips form on the hood and on the roof (closer to the windshield). Bare metal on the roof may bloom.
Occasionally, there are complaints about cracking of the paintwork on the surface of the sealant applied on the inside of the doors.
Some owners complain about the fogging of the rear lights. In addition, the lights had to be replaced under warranty due to the appearance of cracks.
After 50-100 thousand km, there are complaints about worn door stoppers. Scuffs on the steering wheel could show up after 20-60 thousand kilometers. The steering wheel was replaced under warranty, some twice. Over time, the coating on the automatic transmission handle and silver door linings wear out.
In some instances, due to the formation of condensate, the upholstery of the ceiling got wet. Toyota prescribed to eliminate the disease by installing a larger felt material.
A number of RAV4s from the end of 2015-2017 were subject to a recall campaign due to a fire hazard. The culprit is heated windshield washer jets. Due to the defect, water fell on the heating element, which threatened with a short circuit and ignition. Unpleasant incidents took place.
