Press Release Body = Oklahoma City, OK: Bob Howard Toyota, the largest Toyota dealer in Oklahoma City, OK, 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.
