The Toyota 2009 RAV4 has a fairly modest update with this model. Most notable is the exterior with a new look grille, front bumper and restyled rear. New wheels, mirrors and fender flares fihish out the upgrades. A new Sporty Package is also available on the top model 4WD V6 RAV4 that gets a unique rear door with no spare tire and a set of run-flat tires. Toyota has increased the size and power of the RAV4′s base four-cylinder engine while achieving out a bit better fuel economy. With an estimated 22 city and 28 highway, the new front-wheel-drive base model goes one mile per gallon higher than the ’08 model. The larger 2.5-liter four cylinder engine makes a healthy 179 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, an very decent improvement of 13 horses and 7 lb-ft over the 2.4-liter it replaces. Toyota opted for a brand new automatic tranny in the ’09 RAV4 with only four ratios from which to choose.

The optional 3.5-liter V6 remains unchanged and offers EPA fuel mileage ratings of 19 city/27 highway for front-wheel drive models and 19 city/26 highway on models equipped with four-wheel drive. The six cylinder is matched to a standard five speed auto. Pricing for the base RAV4 remains the same at $21,500 while the rest of the range gets price increases and a 4WD RAV4 LTD V6 will start at $27,810.
