New Toyota RAV4 Lands in Hong Kong, Starting at HK$379,890

Since its launch in 1994, the Toyota RAV4 has become a global sensation with its outstanding reliability and well-balanced product strength, accumulating sales of over 15 million units. Marking the important milestone of Kwan Wun Motors' 60th anniversary, the brand officially launched the all-new RAV4 HEV hybrid version in Hong Kong today. The new car features comprehensive upgrades in exterior design, smart technology, and safety equipment. The entire lineup comes standard with the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system and is the first to be equipped with the fourth-generation TOYOTA Safety Sense 4.0 active safety system, setting a new standard for all-around driving in Hong Kong's hybrid SUV market.

This new model is launched simultaneously in Hong Kong with two clearly positioned variants, tailored to meet the needs of different local users, with an affordable entry price and distinct configurations: the rugged outdoor-oriented Adventure Off-road Hybrid version, priced at HK$379,890; and the Limited flagship hybrid version focusing on urban luxury quality, priced at HK$419,880.

New Hammerhead Design, Two Versions with Distinct Styles

The all-new RAV4 HEV adopts Toyota's latest Hammerhead design language, completely breaking away from the conservative style of the previous model. Through exclusive detail designs, the two variants create completely different temperaments, perfectly fitting both Hong Kong city commuting and outdoor recreation scenarios.

The Adventure Off-road Hybrid version is designed for local enthusiasts who love outdoor camping and hiking. It features a dedicated large-area sporty grille, body anti-scratch trim, paired with 18-inch six-spoke matte grey alloy wheels and a floating roof rack. The body lines are rugged and full of muscle, appearing more composed when dealing with gravel roads and mountain roads in the suburbs.

The Limited flagship version focuses on an urban exquisite and noble style. The headlight grille adopts a body-color design, upgraded with 20-inch machined two-tone alloy wheels and a flush roof rack, elegant and atmospheric, suitable for both daily commuting and business pick-ups. The rear has been re-optimized, with horizontally stretched body lines paired with new vertical LED taillights, offering extremely high visibility at night, while making the vehicle's visual center of gravity more stable and the driving posture more steady.

Fifth-Generation Hybrid Power, Fast and Fuel-Efficient, Adapting to Hong Kong's High Fuel Price Environment

The core highlight of this facelift is the comprehensive upgrade of the powertrain. The new car is equipped with a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder VVT-iE D-4S direct injection engine, paired with the new fifth-generation hybrid system, with a combined output of 194 PS. The front and rear permanent magnet synchronous motors output 208 Nm and 121 Nm of torque respectively, while the engine itself delivers 221 Nm of torque, with 0-100 km/h acceleration taking only 7.3 seconds, offering abundant and smooth power performance.

What best fits the needs of Hong Kong users is that, besides performance upgrades, the new car boasts an average fuel consumption as low as 16.39 km/L, offering significant fuel-saving advantages in Hong Kong's high fuel price environment, significantly reducing daily car maintenance costs. The entire lineup comes standard with the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system, which can distribute power between the front and rear axles in real-time according to road conditions, ensuring stable grip.

Equipped with the TNGA high-rigidity low-center-of-gravity chassis, five driving modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Custom, EV), and two off-road terrain modes (Snow, Trail), whether on smooth city roads, winding mountain passes, or gravel rough roads in the suburbs, it maintains a smooth and steady driving experience. The new car also introduces the Vehicle Dynamic Balance Control system for the first time. Through precision sensors monitoring the vehicle body status, it effectively suppresses jerking during starting and stopping. When cornering or driving over bumpy roads, it can independently control wheel braking force, reducing body sway and bumps, enhancing ride comfort, making it very suitable for Hong Kong's winding mountain road conditions.

Luxury and Practical Cabin, Maxed-Out Configuration, Tailored to Local Driving Habits

The cabin is designed with horizontal lines to create a simple, spacious, and highly functional space. The interface is arranged around the driver, shortening the distance for eye movement and improving focus during dense city driving. The center console is equipped with a 12.3-inch full-electronic instrument cluster + 12.9-inch touch multimedia screen, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and factory navigation, fully adapting to local commuting routes; the Limited flagship version additionally features a color HUD projector instrument, with driving information at a glance.

The entire lineup comes standard with a 1.1-meter openable panoramic sunroof with an electric sunshade, offering ample lighting and a sense of space, enhancing the experience whether for daily commuting or weekend trips. The dual-zone constant temperature air conditioning integrates the nanoe X nanometer ion purification system and S-Flow intelligent airflow control, effectively purifying the air inside the car, suitable for Hong Kong's humid and dusty climate. Front-row wireless charging, double-hinge storage box, and other practical configurations are all available, carefully taking care of daily driving needs.

The seating configurations of the two models have different focuses: The Adventure version adopts synthetic leather seats with orange stitching, featuring front-row heating functions, with a strong sporty atmosphere, suitable for outdoor travel; The Limited flagship version upgrades to breathable leather/fabric mixed seats, equipped with front-row heating + ventilation and rear-row heating seats, ensuring comfortable seating in all four seasons. Paired with a 489-liter super-large trunk, power tailgate, and JBL nine-speaker premium audio, the space is flexible and quality is outstanding, meeting diverse scenarios such as family travel, camping cargo, and business commuting.

TSS 4.0 New Safety System, Coping with Hong Kong's Complex Road Conditions

The all-new RAV4 HEV is the first to be equipped with the fourth-generation TOYOTA Safety Sense 4.0 active safety system, with protection specifications comprehensively upgraded and optimized for Hong Kong's characteristics of heavy traffic, dense traffic lights, and complex road conditions. The system retains core functions such as PCS Pre-Collision System, DRCC Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, LTA Lane Tracing Assist, LDA Lane Departure Alert, and PDA Pre-Collision Driving Assist, adding RSA Road Sign Assist and TMN Lead Vehicle Start Notification, effectively coping with scenarios such as dense urban traffic lights and speed limit signs, significantly reducing driving stress.

In terms of passive safety, the entire car comes standard with 10 airbags. Targeting Hong Kong's narrow streets and dense parking environments, the new car's entire lineup comes standard with 360-degree panoramic parking camera, PKSB Parking Support Brake, and electronic rearview mirror; the Limited flagship version is further equipped with the Advanced Park automatic parking system, easily handling parking difficulties in small parking spaces and narrow alleys.
