Mark Chao turns into Statham? The new generation of RAV4 looks like it's going to be tough

Since 2016, RAV4 has been launched with a new Chinese name, Rongfang. Although it is a facelifted model, the changes in the front face are so large that they are almost the same as a generational change. Zhao Youting's handsome face also made him the spokesperson for Rongfang.

Now that the RAV4 is about to face a generational change, what kind of surprises it can bring us after the generational change may be beyond everyone's imagination, after all, Toyota seems to have played all its good cards in the facelift. But it is wrong to think so, on the Toyota TNGA platform, there is nothing Toyota can't do except what you can't think of.

Recently, spy photos of Toyota's new generation RAV4 on overseas road tests were exposed. According to reliable information, FAW Toyota will launch the new generation RAV4 Rongfang in the first half of 2019, which means that the new generation RAV4 Rongfang will meet us next year. Although the new car is covered with heavy camouflage, we can see the overall outline of the body, which is more burly and tougher.

The design inspiration of the new generation RAV4 will largely come from Toyota's FT-AC concept car, such as the thick banner trim and dot-matrix grille design, which have appeared on the FT-AC concept car before. The new generation RAV4 will be built on Toyota's latest TNGA architecture. Judging from the first car Camry and the subsequent Crown and Avalon from the TNGA platform, the performance of RAV4 is worth looking forward to.

Although there is no information about the power of RAV4, the new car is very likely to be equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine. Such a large car would not be able to move without a large-displacement engine with sufficient horsepower. Whether the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine of the current Rongfang can appear again in the new generation RAV4 depends on how well Toyota has done in terms of lightweighting!

At this time, 91che is a little worried about Mark Chao. The new generation of RAV4 has the dream of becoming a tough guy like Jason Statham. Will Mark Chao be invited as the spokesperson? Is Mark Chao also crazy about muscle building now?
