2007 Toyota RAV4 4 Dr Sport V6 Summary
The RAV4 was completely redesigned for the previous model year. A more grown up looking body replaced the previous bubble shape, and a larger engine option became available. The newest RAV is carried over from 2006, and a few additional safety features have been added.
The Sport package gives the RAV4 a more aggressive presentation, adding 18 inch wheels and fender flares. This model also includes a roof rack and color-keyed door handles. A stiffer suspension and more responsive steering system also set this model apart. The RAV4 Sport is outfitted with all the base features, including air conditioning, a CD audio system, cruise control, tinted glass, telescoping wheel, and power accessories.
This model receives the recently added 3.5 liter V-6, which increases both horsepower and torque by a very wide margin. Horsepower jumps from 166 to 269, and torque goes from 165 to 246 pound-feet. The disproportionate power boost can be attributed to the Dual Variable Valve Timing + intelligence system, which regulates both the intake and exhaust camshafts to produce more power, lower emissions, and higher fuel economy. All V-6s upgrade to a five speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, and also increase the RAV's towing capacity by 2000 pounds.
