TOYOTA RAV4 (2000 - TO DATE)丰田rav4(2000年至今)
Although the second generation Toyota RAV4 didn?t change the way we viewed small 4x4s with quite the same seismic impact its predecessor did, few would contend with the fact that it?s a markedly better car.虽然第二代丰田rav4雾化?笔改变我们看待小四轮驱动车,与往常一样做942地震影响,很少人会因为它抗衡?收盘明显好车. Bigger, more mature and considerably more refined, the RAV4 concept now seems to have grown in both confidence and competence.更大,更成熟、更精细,rav4概念现在似乎愈演愈烈信心和能力. As a used proposition that Toyota name is as close to a watertight guarantee as it?s possible to get.作为丰田主张用名字贴近水密保证了它?收盘可能得到.
HISTORY历史
Before the advent of the RAV4, small 4x4s were rather unlovely items of the ?tumble jeep?rav4来临之前的小四轮驱动的都是比较unlovely项目?滚落吉普车? persuasion.劝导. Show them a corner and they?d show you the sort of low speed aerobatics that would have a Red Arrows pilot reaching for the barf bag.他们展示了一个角落,他们?四流露的那种低速盘旋,有红色箭头为先导达到barf袋. The RAV4 changed all that.rav4这一切的改变. With a taut ride and peppy engines here was a car that was designed around the realisation that at least 90% of its life would be spent on-road.同坐一绷,这里是一辆peppy引擎设计围绕实现至少90%的生活会花在路. Dubbed the GTi of 4x4s, the RAV4 soon became the hot ticket in town.粮农组织称的四轮驱动车,很快成了热门车票rav4城市. That is until the rest of the market got with the programme and developed some seriously capable rivals like the Honda CRV and the Land Rover Freelander.直到剩下的就是市场与计划的制定一些有能力的对手一样认真差饷物业估价及越野车本田freelander.
With the RAV4?s thunder well and truly stolen, Toyota needed a response.随着rav4?收盘打雷好,真正被盗,丰田需要回应. The Second Generation RAV4 was better in every respect.第二代在各方面都得到较好rav4. Better to drive, with an intriguing array of engines and layouts, it also cribbed a number of ideas from MPVs that made it more practical as well.更好驾驶,同各种有趣的引擎及布置,它还从mpvscribbed一些想法,做出更实际的. The chunkier exterior looks went down well as did the sportier interior, more equipment and the choice of 1.8-litre two-wheel-drive three-door models as an alternative to the established two-litre four wheel drive.chunkier的外观看起来并没有深入sportier内政部更多的选择和设备1.8公升两轮驱动3门型号作为替代既定两公升四轮驱动. Toyota introduced new VVTi variable valve timing engines and a D-4D direct-injection diesel in July 2001.丰田推出新vvti可变气门发动机和四-四维直喷柴油2001年7月.
In late 2003 a far-reaching facelift was unveiled with the revised headlamp clusters and grille being the most noticeable alterations.2003年末深远整容揭幕前照灯集群和花砖的修订是最引人注目的改建. More important to used buyers will be the upgraded equipment levels, the deletion of the 1.8-litre engine and the improved safety provision.更重要的是提升设备用于购买一级删除该一点八公升引擎和完善粮食安全. Trim levels were renamed XT2, XT3,and XT4 although XT2 was soon dropped and sat nav-equipped XT5 was introduced to top the range.修剪层次命名压缩、xt3、压缩xt4虽然很快下降,并坐在航行设备xt5顶进了射程.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
This second generation RAV4 has a far more muscular look than its progenitor, with the kind of appearance that makes you feel like taking to the tracks.二代rav4这已远远超过其祖看肌肉、同样的面貌,让你感觉好像在向铁轨. Appearances of course can be deceptive - and so it is here.外表当然可以欺骗-所以在这里. Exactly the same permanent four-wheel drive transmission has been retained, which makes this Toyota of rather limited use in anything other than a muddy field.完全相同永久四轮驱动传输一直保留这使得丰田的使用相当有限领域以外的任何泥泞. Even those rather basic 4x4 mechanicals are only available on the larger of the two petrol engines on offer in the latest line-up, a 147bhp 2.0-litre petrol unit.而即使是那些只是提供基本4-4月机电较大的两个汽油引擎提供的最新阵容,一147bhp2.0公升汽油股. Four-wheel drive 118bhp D4-D diesel models are also available.四轮驱动118bhp薪-丁柴油型号的刊物. The entry-level 123bhp 1.8-litre petrol model flatters to deceive, with two-wheel drive only.入门级123bhp1.8公升汽油示范菲涅尔欺骗两个轮驱动.
This is apparently what people wanted.这显然是什么人通缉. No point in paying for the extra 4WD hardware if you were never going to use it.无意义付出额外的四轮驱动硬件如果你永远不会使用核武器. In which case, you could argue, why buy a RAV4 in the first place?在这种情况下,你也许会说,为什么买rav4在首位? Fashion apparently, knows no practical bounds.显然地,不分实用出轨. What people did want was extra practicality.什么人都希望被额外的实践性. The three and five-door bodystyles (which have been retained) were fine but rather cramped inside.三、五门bodystyles(已留用)车厢拥挤而被罚款. And once inside, there wasn't much you could do with what was there.而一旦侵入,也没有什么可以做的是什么. For a generation used to the versatility of mini-MPVs like Renault's Scenic, that wasn't good enough.整整一代人用多用途小型mpvs喜欢雷诺的风景,那是不够好.
So it is that the rear seats can now slide backwards or forwards, fold, tumble or be removed altogether.所以说现在可以倒退或后座远期倍,滚落或被取消. Total passenger space has been increased by lengthening the wheelbase and improving interior height, meaning greater head and legroom.总乘客空间已上升加长轴距,改善室内高度,意义更大头legroom. It?s wider inside too ??收盘车厢太广泛? but three adults across the back seat will still be pretty friendly after all but the shortest journeys.但横跨三个大人后座仍会相当友好,但毕竟最短路程. Despite this, the RAV4 is now the most spacious car in its class, offering much better luggage capacity, especially on the three-door model.尽管如此,rav4目前最宽敞的车班,提供更佳的行李容量、尤其在三门口模式.
Take a seat behind the wheel and you?ll find that the dashboard has been redesigned to create what Toyota hopes is a ?sportier?安理会议席后面车轮与你?当地已发现仪表板重新塑造丰田是希望?sportier? environment.环境. Hence the metallic rings that border the three white-faced main dials.因此,边境三个白色金属戒指面主拨号. There?s also a three-spoke sports steering wheel.?收盘也有三讲体育方向盘. Otherwise, it?s standard Toyota fare, sensible but not particularly inspiring.否则,?收盘水准丰田票价,但并不特别理智振奋. As before, there are numerous convenient storage spaces, cup holders and pockets and options included the inevitable satellite navigation system.一如以往,有许多方便存储空间,并持有杯口袋和期权列入不可避免的卫星导航系统. Air conditioning however, is limited to plusher models.空调但限于车窗型号. You shouldn?t be disappointed in terms of equipment and safety is much improved too.你不应当?笔会失望的设备和安全明显好转. Apart from twin airbags and three triple-point seatbelts for rear seat passengers, all front occupants sit on Toyota?s whiplash injury lessening (WIL) seats.除了双气袋、三重三个点为后座乘客安全带,所有住户门前静坐丰田?收盘鞭伤害减轻(线)席位.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Not much goes wrong on-road.出错就没有多少路. Make the normal inspection for signs of heavy off-road use.为使检验标志正常重型越野使用. Since the car was never sold as an 'off-roader', you're unlikely to find that this is a problem.由于汽车销售作为一个从未'场外路由器',你不会觉得这是一个问题. If the vehicle seems to have been used a lot in the mud, it?s best to walk away as it isn't built to take that sort of treatment.如果车辆似乎已经使用了大量的泥土?收盘最好走,因为它不是建立采取这种治疗.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Late shape RAV4s may look more conventionally ?off-road?已故形状rav4s看起来更传统?占用道路? than their predecessors but the big gains have definitely come in terms of on-tarmac performance.但是比他们的前辈有很大的好处,肯定会在对停机坪表现. This RAV4 is lighter and faster than its direct rivals ?这是打火机,rav4高于其直接对手? and is far more comfortable over poor surfaces.并远远超过贫困面比较舒适. This is thanks to a fully independent suspension set-up further improved by the addition of a rear anti-roll bar to improve cornering performance.由于这是一个完全独立的悬浮设置进一步完善了另外一个后方防滚杆,以改善转向特性. The new VVT-i engines feel willing and quick, the 2.0-litre unit making sixty in 10.6s on the way to 115mph.新的可变气门定时我感觉愿意和快速引擎,2.0公升制作单位在60月10.6s途中115mph. The 1.8 isn?t much slower (thanks to the lack of 4WD hardware) and will average over 38mpg.180肖国?笔慢得多(由于缺乏硬件四轮驱动),并将平均超过38mpg. If you want better economy, the D-4D diesel will average nigh-on 40mpg.如果你想要更经济,四-号柴油平均匪夷所思-40mpg.
OVERALL 总体
Be honest with yourself.你一定要诚实. Do you really need low range gearboxes, whistling dual purpose tyres and the aerodynamic profile of Johnny Vegas?你真的需要低幅度变速箱、轮胎及气动两用猎猎概况约翰尼质询? Probably not.恐怕不是. This being the case, the Toyota RAV4 strikes a blow for the pragmatist.既然如此,丰田rav4冲击的实用主义. If you enjoy an elevated seating position and rugged good looks, the RAV4 doesn?t disappoint.如果你享受高架坐姿崎岖好看,不惜rav4?笔失望. It throws in the best bits of a conventional hatchback?s driving dynamics and melds them with the practicality of a mini-MPV.它丢进最佳常规hatchback比特?他们的动力和实用性融合小型巡逻艇. The 1.8-litre NV even ditches the 4x4 architecture in favour of an eminently practical, simple and affordable front wheel drive layout.180公升的水窑女甚至4-4建筑赞成杰出实用前轮驱动布置简单而负担得起. If you?re looking for something that will make you look like a contestant from the Camel Trophy, the RAV4 comes up short.如果你?重新寻找一些话,令你宛若选手从骆驼奖座rav4到家了. If, on the other hand, you use a compact 4x4 like 95% of other buyers, a used second generation RAV4 is extremely difficult to better.如果,在另一方面,你用镭4-495%像其他买家一个用于二代rav4极难更好.
