Toyota has released a new special edition version of its popular RAV4 (Recreational Activity Vehicle with 4-wheel drive). Known as the ‘Reebok’, it marks a link with the well-known sportswear manufacturer.

It is available in both 3 and 5-door RAV4 body styles with the well proven and sporty 1998cc, double overhead camshaft engine which gives sparkling acceleration, comfortable cruising and good fuel economy.

With permanent four-wheel drive, the RAV4 ‘Reebok’ has maximum traction under all road conditions. Independent suspension all round, power steering and front ventilated disc brakes are standard equipment – ensuring the RAV4 drives and handles like a performance hatchback rather than a more conventional off-roader.

The RAV4 ‘Reebok’ is defined by unique decals and a set of RAV4-logoed floor mats is also part of the package.

Large 16-inch alloy wheels with chunky Yokohama 235/60 tyres are fitted inside purposeful wheelarch extensions and a discreet spoiler is added to the rear roof of the vehicle. A suspension cross brace is fitted between the front suspension towers to give better handling and more responsive steering.

The four speaker audio system features an RDS tuner and CD player with removable security panel.

The RAV4 ‘Reebok’ 3 door is available with or without an electric tilt/sliding sunroof as standard and comes in three striking colours: Cool Water (a metallic blue) with grey bumpers and cladding, Silver Graphite (metallic) with silver bumpers and cladding and Astral Black with silver bumpers and cladding.

RAV4 ‘Reebok’ 5 door models are available in Astral Black with silver bumpers and cladding and metallic Silver Graphite with silver bumpers and cladding. Additionally, 5 door ‘Reebok’ also has an electric sunroof and an accessory power socket in the rear luggage area as standard.

The Toyota RAV4 ‘Reebok’ range comprises:

  • 2.0 16v 3dr manual – £14,995 On the road
  • 2.0 16v 3dr automatic – £16,304 On the road
  • 2.0 16v 3dr manual with sunroof – £15,630 On the road
  • 2.0 16v 3dr automatic with sunroof – £16,630 On the road
  • 2.0 16v 5dr manual – £17,255 On the road
  • 2.0 16v 5dr automatic – £18,255 On the road
