Review Automotive T hough it may seem like a far-fetched possibility for the Toyota Racing Development treatment, the Toyota RAV4 hybrid will soon pick up an extraordinary TRD model. Toyota division general supervisor Bill Fay suggested the new model amid the 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro's introduction at the 2016 Chicago car expo.
While discussing the rally-auto rendition of the RAV4 that contended in the Rally America Championship, Fay gave a solid insight around a TRD-tuned hybrid. "You may very well discover some of that TRD dashing enchantment stream down to an exceptional creation RAV4 model," Fay said. "That would be amazing."
We suspect as much, as well, however we don't have any thought yet what the creation RAV4 TRD would involve. The rally form of the hybrid components an overhauled rough terrain suspension, a stripped-out inside to spare weight, and uncommon off-road tires, however its 2.5-liter four-chamber and six-speed programmed transmission are unaltered for rivalry. A Toyota RAV4 TRD would sit over the current game arranged SE trim, which was included when Toyota revived the RAV4 for the 2016 model year.
