Toyota Announces Pricing for the All-New 2013 RAV4

Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) for the all-new 2013 RAV4 crossover sport utility vehicle (SUV).   The new RAV4 offers great value through balanced performance and capability, including improved fuel efficiency, class-leading cargo capacity, a dynamic design, class-leading eight standard airbags, and a compelling array of standard features.  The 2013 RAV4 arrives at dealerships in early January, a reinvention of the world’s original crossover sport utility vehicle.

  The fourth-generation RAV4's all-new design achieves strong proportions while conveying agile and fun character.  The dynamic exterior features a progressive silhouette, with a sleek-sloping roofline and an aggressive character line.  The new RAV4's interior has two-row seating for five and a premium look with soft-touch accents and driver-centric controls. 

  In a significant break with its heritage, RAV4 will switch from its side-hinged rear door to a convenient roof-hinged liftgate with a space-saver spare tire stored under the cargo floor. 

  All RAV4’s will be equipped with a fuel-efficient 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a new six-speed automatic transmission, and a host of available in-cabin technologies. The all-new RAV4’s fuel efficiency is improved from the previous generation.  A new Eco mode also promotes more efficient driving for maximum mpg.  RAV4 front-wheel drive models have received EPA-estimated fuel efficiency ratings of 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, while all-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 22 city/29 highway mpg.

  The new RAV4 will provide its active owners a more dynamic drive, with new technologies like a Sport Mode with Dynamic Torque Control AWD, enhancements in suspension performance, and optimized electric power steering. 

  RAV4 Grades
RAV4 will be available in three trim levels: LE, XLE and Limited, each available in front- or all-wheel-drive.  Each grade is well-equipped with standard comfort and convenience features and very few options, offering great value, and a simple ordering process to meet the needs and budgets of a variety of buyers.

  The LE grade comes standard with more equipment than most of the competitive offerings.  Features like privacy glass, color keyed door handles, 17-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, a color keyed rear spoiler, and a 6.1-inch display audio unit with integrated back-up camera will all be standard on the LE grade.  The LE will offer only two options; roof rails and a tonneau cover.

  The XLE grade will come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, tilt/slide power moonroof, fog lamps, dual zone automatic climate control, and premium bucket seats with sport bolstering, just to mention a few.  A Display Audio with Navigation and Entune is the only option on the XLE.

  Standard equipment on the premium Limited grade includes a height-adjustable power liftgate, Premium SofTex seating, eight-way power driver’s seat with memory, and heated front seats.  Options include Display Audio with Navigation and Entune, Display Audio with Navigation, Entune and JBL, and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

  Standard on all RAV4 models is Display Audio with a 6.1-in. touchscreen, AM/FM/CD, Bluetooth^® connectivity, USB and AUX mini-jack, and six speakers. For a uniform esthetic, the Display Audio, as well as primary and secondary gauges, features Clear Blue Illumination. 

  Display Audio allows the driver and front passenger to operate the audio system, display HVAC settings, engage available navigation and access the available Entune™ multi-media system. Available on XLE and Limited, Display Audio with Navigation and Entune™ includes advanced voice recognition.

  The MSRP for the new RAV4 LE grade will be $23,300 for the FWD and $24,700 for the AWD.  The XLE will be $24,290 for the FWD and $25,690 for the AWD model.  The MSRP for the Limited grade will be $27,010 for the AWD and $28,410 for AWD.

  Toyota RAV4 MSRPs do not include a delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee of $845.  The DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary.

Respect for the Planet: Toyota's 2012 Report Details Commitment to the Environment

Toyota today highlighted its sustainable manufacturing advancements and commitment to environmental leadership as the automaker released its 2012 North America Environmental Report. The report spans Toyota operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico over the fiscal year, including research and development, manufacturing, logistics and sales. Toyota remains the most fuel-efficient full line auto manufacturer in the United States and the industry hybrid leader.

  Achievements featured in the 2012 report include:

• New eco-conscious vehicles: two within the Prius family – the Prius c and Prius Plug-in Hybrid – and the highly anticipated, all-electric 2013 RAV4 EV co-developed with Tesla
• Exceeding requirements under the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for U.S. cars and Canadian Car Company Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC) standards
• Ten Toyota North American plants achieved zero waste to landfill
• Seven percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle produced (since 2008)
• More than 600 suppliers and 41 Toyota sites have been internationally-certified environmental management systems
• A 15 percent reduction in energy consumption per vehicle produced (since 2002)
• Vibrant local partnerships, including nearly 900 volunteer events with TogetherGreen^TM, Toyota signature environmental philanthropic program with the National Audubon Society

“Toyota believes sustainable operations go hand-in-hand with our core values of quality, innovation and good corporate citizenship,” said Dian Ogilvie, senior vice president and secretary, Toyota Motor North America, Inc.  “We are committed to continuous improvement and finding creative ways to address the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity with dedicated leadership and the help of our partners.”

  The report also measured Toyota North American operations against one-year goals in compliance, air emissions, energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, waste minimization and water use. Key partnerships, industry trends and insight on consumer preferences also guide Toyota’s efforts in serving both the planet and its people.

  Other highlights include:

  Innovative Technology and Fuel-Efficiency

• The Prius Family continues to lead the U.S. hybrid market, capturing 52 percent of the U.S. purchases in the first half of 2012 and with the new Prius Plug-in Hybrid estimated to go as many as 540 miles on a single charge and single tank. More than 1.2 million Prius Family vehicles have been sold in the U.S. and 2.9 million worldwide as of June 30, 2012.
• Toyota continues to innovate using bio-based plastics in parts and components and is investigating new eco-friendly fabrics and carpets. In each model redesign or running change, more renewable, recycled and recyclable materials are considered.
• Toyota researchers are developing and testing approximately 100 vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells and plan to bring a Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV) to market by 2015.
• Toyota is moving ahead with its goal to offer hybrid options on all its vehicles by 2020.

Production and Distribution

• Toyota’s North American manufacturing affiliate (Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.) received its eighth consecutive ENERGY STAR® Sustained Excellence Award.  The division was recognized for several efforts, including decreasing absolute energy use by 9 percent, influencing the company’s supply chain by continuing to train suppliers to conduct internal plant energy assessments known as treasure hunts and conducting new research for expanded benchmarking of assembly and powertrain plants.
• North American plants had zero violations and zero complaints. The Canadian logistics sites achieved their 14th year with no dangerous goods violations.
• Cumulative savings from the use of returnable containers in Toyota’s logistics division amounts to more than 129 million pounds of wood and 48 million pounds of cardboard. Toyota’s North American Parts Operations division uses more than 60,000 reusable metal shipping containers in place of cardboard and wood pallets, up from 30,000 a few years ago.

Showrooms and Roads

• Toyota and Scion vehicles represent six of the Top EPA-rated Fuel Sippers for 2012, including the new Prius c, which was ranked first with EPA-estimated 53 mpg city/46 mpg highway.
• Toyota leads the industry with 37 facilities certified to LEED® including 11 Toyota and Lexus sites and 26 dealerships. Toyota’s sales and logistics division, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS), has been a member of the United States Green Building Council since 2002.

Community Partnerships

• In 2008, Toyota provided a $20 million grant and launched TogetherGreen™ with the National Audubon Society. The program trains environmental leaders and awards grants for conservation projects across the United States. The program has trained 400 conservation leaders who have inspired volunteers to give more than 333,000 hours to various projects.
• In mid-2012, Toyota celebrated reaching 1 million Canadian children through the Evergreen Learning Grounds program. The program offers students a close, hands-on relationship with the natural world while educating them about the importance of restoring and protecting it.
