2009 Toyota RAV-4 gets minor facelift
The current-generation Toyota RAV-4 has been mildly facelifted for the 2009 model year, as seen in these photos for the American version. Also new is an upgraded 4-cylinder engine.
The new engine is a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder with 179 hp and 233 Nm of torque, both only mild increases. The Americans also get an optional sports kit that removes the door-mounted spare wheel and replaces the four wheels with run-flat tyres. Don’t expect that kit to be offered here though, as the GCC doesn’t even get the V6 engine option yet.
While the exterior gets some new trimmings, wheels and spoilers, the interior seems to be largely the same. Expect this new model to hit showrooms by the end of this year.

Their are 2 idiots who comment regularly and somebody in their families always is going to buy every other sports car or 4 wheel drive launched in UAE. And now they are commenting about legendary Land Crusier. No matter how many models are launched or facelifted…truth is that Landcrusier, Nissan Patrol, Pajero and Jeep Wrangler will always remain on UAE roads both old and new…

LC’s front and rear looks are ok, but it needs some chrome on its sides. Just like the LX570’s sides and l will fix these chrome-spoilers soon. specially after hearing that the side of 2009 models will be chrommed.
assassin
thatsit(mohamad). Is there any news about the new patrol?
assassin

Mr.Mush, accidently i hit upon Toyota Fortuner off road video’s in you tube…and unlike as spoken of or lowly rated or ignored here..it seems Fortuner is good vehicle..no wonder we see so many fortuners in uae..a Review of Fortuner is due from you…
Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury
The Fortuner is a good off-roader. It is also selling well (mostly as a family car) because it is cheap. However, I disliked it as soon as I saw its cheap interior, similar to the Hilux. Not that I’d give it a bad review if I drove it, considering it can be had with a 4.0-litre V6.
