Toyota adds a new version to the RAV4’s delivery range. The regular hybrid version of that SUV is now also available as a dark Black Edition.
No ‘color’ that seems to appeal to consumers in car countries as much as black. Every now and then car manufacturers come with special versions that are completely in black, variants that do not contain a splash of cheerfulness. Toyota also participates in the black-on-black concept and presents a new Black Edition version for the RAV4.
The Black Edition is a special version of the RAV4 that is only available on the 218 hp RAV4 Hybrid (222 hp in combination with AWD). Those who are in the market for a RAV4 with only a petrol engine or who just want the variant with plug-in hybrid powertrain, should do without Black Edition. The RAV4 Black Edition is of course completely in black. The carriage is painted Midnight Black. In addition, various previously silver-colored parts are replaced by versions finished in black. For example, the complete grille, the ‘skidplates’, the side mirror covers, the mullions and the rear spoiler are completely in black. Not only on the outside, but also on the inside the black that beats the clock. The seats are upholstered in black imitation leather and the headliner is also black. The same applies to various finishing strips on the dashboard.
The standard equipment of the RAV4 Hybrid Black Edition includes an extensive JBL audio system, heated seats, LED headlights and an induction charger. The infotainment system can handle things like Android Auto and Apple Carplay. An electrically adjustable student chair? Of the party. The same applies to a rear view camera and the Smart Rear View Mirror capable of displaying the image of a rear-facing camera. Also present: entrance lighting and safety systems such as Rear Traffic Alert, a 360-degree camera and blind spot detection.
What the sinister RAV4 Hybrid party should cost, the Dutch importer will announce at a later stage. We already know that the RAV4 Hybrid Black Edition will be at the dealers at the end of the year.
