The new RAV4 diesel has arrived and it's frugal on fuel and considerate to the environment with its low emissions.

Two obvious differences in this model when comparing it to its petrol sibling are its engine, and its size.

RAV4 diesel introduces Toyota's 2.2 litre, four cylinder in-line, 16 valve double over head cam common-rail diesel engine with an intercooler and turbo charger. This engine provides excellent performance and fuel efficiency while meeting Europe's Euro-IV exhaust emission standards.

Fuel consumption is a meagre 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres, some 27 per cent less than the petrol version, and CO2 emissions are 173 grams per kilometre using the 70/220/EEC (combined) test standard.

The 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine has a power output of 100kW at 3600rpm and produces 310Nm of torque from 2000rpm.

Engine noise and vibration are minimised by the inclusion of two balance shafts.

Overall dimensions differ to the petrol variants. The width remains the same however the wheelbase is 100mm shorter the length is reduced by 205mm and the height 10mm lower.

This new model is available with a lightweight and compact six speed manual transmission, providing a wide spread of gear ratios to achieve the best performance across all driving conditions........ To view the whole news article click here
