Press Release Body = Culver City, C.A: Miller Toyota your trusted Toyota Dealer in
California, presents the re-styled Toyota RAV 4, bigger, better and all-new for
2006.

The RAV has been completely restyled for 2006, inside and out, although
functionality has been maintained. There\'s a new, 269-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6
engine coupled to a new, five-speed automatic. And there\'s an optional third row of
seats that folds into the floor, leaving a flat cargo space that holds almost five
more cubic feet of stuff than the \'05 model. The RAV4 is also available with the
four cylinder that powered the \'05, but with an added five horses under the hood.
Buyers also have the choice of front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.

The 2006 Toyota RAV4 comes in three trim levels, all with four doors: base
($20,200), Sport ($21,775) and Limited ($22,455). All three start with front-wheel
drive and the same 2.4-liter, 166-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and four-speed
automatic transmission. All three can be upgraded to the 3.5-liter, 269-horsepower
V6 with a new five-speed automatic ($2,035 for the base; $1,915 for Sport and
Limited). Full-time four-wheel drive is available across the line ($1,400).

Standard features include air conditioning, cruise control, AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA stereo
with six speakers, the usual powered and keyless-remote features, manually
adjustable driver and front passenger seats, tilt-and-telescope steering wheel and
auto-off headlamps. The four-cylinder RAV4 has P215/70R16 tires on steel wheels with
hubcaps; the V6 is upgraded with P225/65R17 tires on styled steel wheels. Options
include the third-row seat for seven-passenger seating ($950). Also available: an
in-dash, six-disc CD changer ($200); a selection of 17-inch wheels, both styled
steel ($120) and alloy ($560); cargo cover ($140); roof rack ($220); daytime running
lights ($40); and a towing package for the V6 ($160) that includes a heavy-duty
radiator and fan, transmission oil cooler and 150-amp alternator. (Option prices are
for the four-cylinder base model and may be lower for V6 or higher trim levels; all
are manufacturer\'s suggested retail prices, or MSRP.)

All 2006 RAV4s get the Toyota Star safety system, which includes Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), and an Antilock Braking System (ABS) with
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). Recognizing the
many worthy characteristics of the reliable 2006 RAV4, Autobytel has awarded it with
the Autobytel Editors' Choice for Best New Small SUV of 2006. The RAV4 is also the
recipient of the Motorweek\'s 2006 Driver\'s Choice Award for Best Small Sport-Utility
Vehicle.
