Toyota RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid. I was at the 1994 dispatch of the first RAV4, held in the Daintree, up in North Queensland.
At the time, genuine men (particularly those from North Queensland), drove a Patrol or a 80 Series LandCruiser and “SUV” was a useless Americanism.
Toyota models decision of setting mirrored its astuteness to persuade the gathered press that its charming minimal 4WD fun mobile was, at its centre, still a harsh, extreme Toyota.
What’s more, it was.
We were advised to point it at a precarious, dangerous slope and go our hardest.
It went higher, and kept it together for more, than it reserved any option to.
Quick forward to this 2019 fifth era and RAV4 has turned into the world’s top selling SUV.
It has likewise transformed into a totally unique machine.
Rough terrain slashes are superfluous.
Network, comfort, style and space are what matters.
