2009 Toyota RAV-4 gets mild facelift


The current-generation Toyota RAV-4 has been mildly facelifted for the 2009 model year. Also new is an upgraded 4-cylinder engine.

The new engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder with 179 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque, both only mild increases. There is also an optional sports kit that removes the door-mounted spare wheel and replaces the four wheels with run-flat tires. The V6 engine option remains the same.

While the exterior gets some new trimmings, wheels and spoilers, the interior seems to be largely the same.
