The teaser gives a glimpse of the 2019 Toyota RAV4’s profile, revealing some design differences from the outgoing model. The fifth generation model appears to have a less sloping, higher-positioned hood for a tougher look and a more rakish back glass for a sportier design.
The next-gen Toyota RAV4 will ride on the new TNGA platform, which already underpins the Toyota Prius, Toyota C-HR, Toyota Camry, Toyota Avalon and the Toyota Auris. Toyota is yet to reveal any details regarding the engine options.
