2012; Toyota RAV4 EV SUV Officially Unveils


It's the RAV4 EV-The latest Electric SUV on market. Toyota claims that the all-electric RAV4 EV's driving performance, dynamics and cargo capacity are equal to or exceed the gas powered RAV4 V6. It also has an expected driving range of approximately 100 miles and can be recharged in as little as six hours using a 240V charger.


On the outside the RAV4 EV looks almost identical to the combustion engine powered RAV4 with the exception of a few body parts that have been restyled to make the RAV4 EV more aerodynamic. The front bumper, upper and lower grill, side mirrors, rear spoiler, and under body have all been re-styled to maximize air flow around the vehicle.


The front of the RAV4EV also gets LED low beam projector headlights with halogen projector high beams. A manual leveling system allows customers to redirect the headlights when the vehicle changes significantly in pitch due to a heavy load.Out back the rear combination lights are LEDs accented by a unique light smoke outer lens.


Under the hood the RAV4 EV is powered by a Tesla designed and produced battery and 154-hp electric powertrain. Drivers can choose between two driving modes, Sport and Normal. In Sport mode, the RAV4 EV reaches 0-60 mph in just 7.0 seconds and has a maximum speed of 100 mph. Normal mode is a tad slower with a 0-60 mph time of 8.6 seconds with a top speed of 85 mph

Proton Inspira 2.0 Executive

Proton has introduced an Executive version of its 2.0 litre CVT Inspira – the variant replaces the 1.8 CVT Executive in the model lineup, slotting in between the 2.0 CVT Premium and 1.8 MT Executive. Most of the kit found on the 2.0 Premium is on the 2.0 Executive – from the steering wheel audio switches and paddle shifters to the auto light and rain sensors, it’s all here. What’s different, based on the feature specifications list, is that the Executive’s seats and door trim finishing is in fabric (as opposed to the Premium’s leather fitment), the wipers don’t feature automatic speed adjustment and the bodykit has been omitted. Fresh to the car is a new 16-inch wheel design. As for exterior colours, there’s no Plum Red for this one, with the Premium’s shade being replaced by Elegant Brown; otherwise, Tranquility Black, Genetic Silver and Solid White are shared by both variants.
