For the third-generation model, Toyota offered both short- and long-wheelbase versions of the RAV4. Short-wheelbase versions were sold in Japan and Europe; long-wheelbase versions in Australia and North America. Toyota of Japan also sold the longer-wheelbase version as the {{nihongo|'''Toyota Vanguard'''|トヨタ・ヴァンガード|Toyota Vangādo|lead=yes}} at Toyopet Store dealership chain from 2005 through 2016.

The first-generation RAV4, known as the XA10 series, was constructed on a unique platform that shared Carina and Corolla elements.<ref name = "Toyota makes RAV4 bigger, more premium">{{cite web |last=Oude Weernink |first=Wim |date=2006-02-06 |url=http://europe.autonews.com/article/20060206/ANE/60203017/toyota-makes-rav4-bigger-more-premium |title=Toyota makes RAV4 bigger, more premium |publisher=Automotive News Europe |access-date=2014-11-27 |archive-date=21 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121000935/https://europe.autonews.com/article/20060206/ANE/60203017/toyota-makes-rav4-bigger-more-premium |url-status=live }}</ref> It launched in Japan in May 1994. Design and development commenced in 1989 under code-name 153T, with design approval and start of production development in the second half of 1991 on the 3-door version and in 1993 for the 5-door version. In March 1995, the 5-door was launched and introduced to the US in January 1996, with standard dual airbags.

The XA10 series was available in both three and five door versions. In the US, a 2.0-litre straight-four producing {{convert|89|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} was available. Both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive were available, and the RAV4 could be had with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. It was named the ''1997 Automobile of the Year'' by ''Automobile Magazine''. The 1996-1997 model years had headlamps with a bracket push in type, dual filament bulb. The front running/turn signal lamps used older round socket dual filament bulbs. The rear used round socket type bulbs as well. In 1997 for the 1998 model year, the RAV4 was slightly restyled on the front and rear fascias, and a soft top three-door was made available. Power was increased slightly to {{convert|95|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}}. In June 1999, the two-door hardtop was dropped from the American lineup, leaving the five-door and soft top models. The 1998–2000 models used a single filament headlamp, with two different beams per housing (low and high beam) opposed to the original single beam with dual filaments. The rear lamps use the more modern rectangular style bulbs (7440/7443). The interior has subtle changes such as different coloured seats, different coloured door panels, extra cup holders on certain models (cigarette lighter/cup holder duo), and a digital odometer. In Japan, the 2.0-litre ''3S-GE BEAMS'' engine with {{convert|132|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} was also available. Some variants of the 1998 Toyota RAV4 were labeled as SXA11 rather than XA10, paired with an owner-given name of "RAV 4.1".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rav4world.com/forums/83-4-1-general/74379-1998-rav-4-1-owners-manual.html |title=1998 RAV 4.1 Owners Manual |website=rav4world.com |date=2009-02-11 |access-date=2019-02-03 |archive-date=28 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828185459/http://www.rav4world.com/forums/83-4-1-general/74379-1998-rav-4-1-owners-manual.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The RAV4 EV is a plug-in, all-electric variant of the RAV4. Produced from 1997 to 2003 for fleet lease, this "zero emission" model was only offered for public sale for seven months in 2002, in very small quantities in California.

The second-generation RAV4, known as the XA20 series, went on sale in July 2000. Like the previous model, the XA20 was available in three- and five-door configurations and was constructed on a platform that shared Carina and Corolla elements. Development began in 1995, with a design freeze in the first half of 1998. Styling was done at Calty Design Research Incorporated (also simply known as Calty) by Yasuhide Hosoda and Kevin Hunter from 1996 to 1997.<ref name = "Toyota makes RAV4 bigger, more premium"/>

The second-generation RAV4 was originally offered in a number of trim levels in the UK: NV was front-wheel drive, while NRG, GX, and VX were permanent four-wheel drive with differing levels of equipment.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/motoring/car-specifications/Toyota/RAV+4+(2000-06)/ |title=WiseBuyer's Guides – Toyota RAV 4 (2000–06) Car specs |publisher=Wisebuyers.co.uk |access-date=2009-04-30 |archive-date=9 January 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090109115111/http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/motoring/car-specifications/Toyota/RAV+4+(2000-06)/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Although the RAV4 was available as a three-door in Europe, Asia and Australia, the American model was only available in a five-door configuration. A 1.8-litre inline-four engine (only with 2WD) producing {{convert|92|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}}, 2.0-litre inline-four engine producing {{convert|110|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}}, 2.4-litre inline-four engine producing {{convert|118|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}}, and a D-4D diesel engine were available.

In Australia, the RAV4 came in base Edge and upmarket Cruiser models in both three- and five-door configurations. All models came equipped with a brand-new 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine featuring VVT (variable valve timing), resulting in improved power and torque, as well as fuel consumption. Permanent four-wheel drive was featured. The second generation RAV4 enjoyed success in Australia, where it became the best-selling SUV in the country in 2001, overtaking its rival the Honda CR-V for the first time.

=== Facelift (2003) === In late 2003, the 2004 model RAV4 was given a styling update, improved equipment, and, in certain markets, a new engine. In the United States the safety structure was improved and Vehicle Stability Control made standard. The RAV4's 2.0-litre engine was upgraded with a new 2.4-litre engine in the US and Australia producing {{convert|120|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|162|lbft|Nm|abbr=on|order=flip|0}}. Other countries got mostly 5-door models with the 2.0-litre VVT-i engine. Automatic electric air conditioning also became available. European models got a new catalytic converter because of the new European emission policy. The new model also got an electric throttle.

In Australia, for the facelift, the base Edge was renamed CV, and gained standard air conditioning (previously an option). The CV also received painted bumpers, which came in either silver or body-coloured shades, depending on the body colour. In addition, the model range was given a subtle facelift, consisting largely of a new front bumper with circular fog lights and white turn signals instead of the older orange lights. In 2005, a new "CV Sport" model was added to the range in Australia, which included a non-functional bonnet scoop, giving the RAV4 a more aggressive appearance. The CV Sport model was short-lived, lasting only a year, and was introduced primarily to stimulate sales until the new model arrived in early 2006.

The second generation RAV4 had the highest proportion of female drivers among all makes and models in the United States, with the possible exception of the Volkswagen New Beetle, according to 2003–2004 registration and survey data.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=435226 |title=Guy Cars vs. Gal's Cars |publisher=MSN |access-date=14 August 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080421164922/http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=435226 |archive-date=21 April 2008 }}</ref>

The Toyota RAV4 was redesigned for the 2006 model year, using an all-new platform, and was first unveiled at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/05/0912.html |title=Toyota Unveils New RAV4 at Frankfurt Motor Show |publisher=Toyota |date=2005-09-12 |access-date=2010-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100922061942/http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/05/0912.html |archive-date=2010-09-22 }}</ref>

The third-generation RAV4 was offered in two versions: a short- or a long-wheelbase model. The short-wheelbase model was sold only in Japan, Europe and New Zealand (diesel only in NZ), with the long-wheelbase RAV4 sold in Australia, New Zealand and North America. In comparison with the previous generation model, the wheelbase of the short-wheelbase model was increased by {{convert|70|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, while exterior dimensions are {{convert|145|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} longer and {{convert|80|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} wider than the previous model.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-11-29 |title=Toyota RAV4 2.4 first drive |url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/toyota/rav4/first-drives/toyota-rav4-2.4 |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=Autocar |language=en}}</ref> The extended-length version has an additional 21% in interior volume from the last generation, and had an optional third-row for two additional passengers (North America and Japan only). Since 2007, the extended-length RAV4 was also sold alongside its shorter counterpart in Japan as the '''Toyota Vanguard''', which uses a revised front-end body work incorporating a revised grille, bumper, bonnet and headlamps.<ref>{{cite web |author=<!-- no author given --> |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/168221463F25952ACA2576CC0004054F |title=Toyota 2010 RAV4 – Geneva show: Toyota unveils RAV4, Corolla hybrid |publisher=GoAuto |date=2010-02-16 |access-date=2010-10-16 |archive-date=20 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100220125004/http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/168221463F25952ACA2576CC0004054F |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Vanguard specs">{{cite web |url=http://toyota.jp/vanguard/spec/spec/index.html |title=Vanguard specifications |access-date=2010-08-31 |language=ja |year=2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100822035523/http://toyota.jp/vanguard/spec/spec/index.html |archive-date=2010-08-22 }}</ref>

The third-generation RAV4 went on sale in Japan in 2005 at Netz dealers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/05/1114.html |title=Toyota Launches New RAV4 in Japan |publisher=Toyota |date=2005-11-14 |access-date=2010-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100922060838/http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/05/1114.html |archive-date=2010-09-22 }}</ref> As the XA30 series RAV4 was not available with a 3-door option, the previous generation 3-door RAV4 was dropped in the beginning of 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/toyota/rav4/2006/ |title=2006 Toyota RAV4 Review and Specs |publisher=JB car pages |access-date=2008-10-26 |archive-date=4 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110904094236/http://www.jbcarpages.com/toyota/rav4/2006/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The XA30 series RAV4 was sold in Japan until July 2016, where the XA40 was not to be offered. Toyota discontinued the Vanguard in November 2013 in favour of the redesigned XU60 Harrier.

For this generation, the RAV4 could be optioned with either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive in North America and Japan; while most countries only sell the four-wheel drive version. In the Japanese market four-wheel drive RAV4, between 97 and 98 percent of power is typically distributed to the front wheels, until it senses a loss of traction then up to 45 percent of power will go the rear wheels. The European market model is able to be locked into a 50:50 ratio.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Toyota RAV4 2.4 first drive |url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/toyota/rav4/first-drives/toyota-rav4-2.4 |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=Autocar |language=en}}</ref>

The third-generation RAV4 is also equipped with electric power steering (EPS) system, an optional keyless entry system marketed as Smart Entry and Start System and nine airbags<ref>{{Cite web |title=The third-generation Toyota RAV4 |url=https://newsroom.toyota.eu/the-third-generation-toyota-rav4/ |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=The third-generation Toyota RAV4 |language=en}}</ref> for the first time. In the interior, the RAV4 uses a two-tiered instrument panel which was designed to improve the feel of roominess.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2005-11-14 |title=Toyota Launches New RAV4 in Japan |url=https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/23828263.html |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=Toyota Motor Corporation Official Global Website |language=en}}</ref>

Another addition for the third-generation RAV4 is the option of a V6 engine in some markets. It is a 3.5-litre ''2GR-FE'' petrol engine that is rated at {{convert|201|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}}, which is capable of {{convert|0-60|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} acceleration in around six seconds.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Montgomery |first=William C. |date=2006-08-23 |title=Toyota RAV4 Review |url=https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2006/08/toyota-rav4/ |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=thetruthaboutcars.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Robinson |first=Aaron |date=2006-01-01 |title=2006 Toyota RAV4 Limited 4WD V-6 Road Test |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a18202226/toyota-rav4-limited-4wd-v-6-road-test/ |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=Car and Driver |language=en-us}}</ref>

In 2008 (for the 2009 model year),{{cn|date=July 2024}} the RAV4 was given a mid-cycle refresh in some markets, featuring a number of changes, including an all-new four-cylinder engine, and a redesigned front end and tweaked rear end. Much of the interior remains as before.

In 2010 (for the 2011 model year),{{cn|date=July 2024}} the RAV4 underwent another facelift, based on the Vanguard's styling.

The vehicles were built in Toyota's Tahara, Aichi assembly plant, and under contract by Toyota Industries in its Nagakusa, Obu, Aichi plant. Beginning in November 2008, vehicles for the North American market were built in the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. at the new West Plant in Woodstock, Ontario.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/05/0701.html |title=Toyota to Expand North American Manufacturing Operations – New Canadian Plant to Produce RAV4 from 2008 – |publisher=Toyota |date=2005-07-01 |access-date=2010-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100922060812/http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/05/0701.html |archive-date=2010-09-22 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/08/1205.html |title=Toyota Begins RAV4 Production at New Canadian Plant |publisher=Toyota |date=2008-12-05 |access-date=2010-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100210042121/http://www2.toyota.co.jp/en/news/08/1205.html |archive-date=2010-02-10 }}</ref> Beginning in March 2009, Chinese models began production by Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co.

=== Markets ===

==== Japan ==== thumb|Toyota Vanguard (Japan; pre-facelift)

Model ranges include X, G and Sport, replacing RAV4 L and RAV4 J. The ''X'' and ''G'' can be ordered with either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The ''Sport'' model with over fenders is four-wheel drive only. The extended-length RAV4 was sold in Japan as the Toyota Vanguard, released in August 2007.<ref name="toy279304"/> It was sold in five- and seven-passenger versions and slots between the regular RAV4 and Kluger. As it was often the case in Japan-only vehicles, the Vanguard comes loaded with high-tech gadgets, including steering-assisted stability control, keyless entry and satellite navigation. The Vanguard received a facelift in 2010.

Unlike the North American variant that came with a 4-speed automatic gearbox, the Japanese RAV4 (or Vanguard) is equipped with a simulated 7-speed transmission from the ''K112'' line also known as Super CVT-i Sports Sequential Shiftmatic.<ref name="toy246605"/><ref name="toy279304"/> That was along with the upgraded ''2AZ-FE'' that was rated at {{convert|125|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}}.

When the larger XA40 arrived in 2012, the short wheelbase model was kept in production for the Japanese market and sold instead of the new version until 2016.

==== Australia ==== In Australia, the third-generation RAV4 was sold in four-cylinder base ''CV'', ''Cruiser'', ''Cruiser L'' and the limited edition "Altitude" trim levels, and ''CV6'', ''SX6'', and ''ZR6'' are 6-cylinder variants.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Williamson |first=Russell |date=2006-06-08 |title=Toyota RAV4 CV |url=https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/toyota-rav4-cv-1181/ |access-date=2023-04-19 |website=www.carsales.com.au |language=en-AU}}</ref> The V6 was available from 2007.

==== Middle East ==== In the Middle East, the third-generation RAV4 was available with a 2.4-litre engine. Most markets, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), get the four-wheel drive model with an automatic gearbox, but KSA additionally gets a two-wheel-drive model as well, the base one with a manual gearbox.<ref>{{cite web |title=Toyota RAV4 2006–2012 UAE KSA Qatar GCC |url=http://www.drivearabia.com/ultimatecarbuyerguide/uae/carpage.php/Toyota-RAV-4/2006-2007-2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-/397 |publisher=DriveArabia.com |access-date=2014-07-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140727062545/http://www.drivearabia.com/ultimatecarbuyerguide/uae/carpage.php/Toyota-RAV-4/2006-2007-2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-/397 |archive-date=2014-07-27 }}</ref>

==== North America ==== North American models include choices of 2.4-litre ''2AZ-FE'' inline-four or 3.5-litre ''2GR-FE'' V6 engine. The V6 model has {{convert|201|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}}. In model year 2009, a slightly larger {{convert|133|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} 2.5-litre ''2AR-FE'' inline-four replaced the previous {{convert|124|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} 2.4-litre engine. Either four-cylinder engine came equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. The North American RAV4 with 3.5-litre ''2GR-FE'' V6 engine is fitted with a five-speed automatic transmission. All US models feature Toyota's Star Safety System which includes Vehicle Stability Control. The new RAV4 topped Toyota SUV sales in the United States for the first time.

No manual transmission or diesel engines are available on North American models.

Facelifted for the 2009 model year, North American models include the choice of a new ''2AR-FE'' inline-four or ''2GR-FE'' V6 engine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.automoblog.net/2008/11/26/2009-toyota-rav4-review/ |title=2009 Toyota RAV4 Review |date=26 November 2008 |publisher=Automoblog.net |access-date=2009-01-05 |archive-date=16 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101216040046/http://www.automoblog.net/2008/11/26/2009-toyota-rav4-review |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2009, it was also the first time that the Canadian market received a front-wheel drive model to lower the price of entry.

==== Mexico ==== In Mexico, the third-generation RAV4 was available in Base and Limited trim levels, but on the Limited trim 4WD became an option and the Base model added 17-inch steel wheels but the roof rack was still standard in both trims. For the refresh of 2009 the roof rack in the Base model was eliminated as standard equipment and the Sport trim was added to the line-up. Up to 2008MY all RAV4s in Mexico had four-cylinder engines but for 2009 the Sport model became available with the V6 engine, although the four-cylinder engine was still available. The Limited trim was only available with the V6 engine and four-wheel drive. For 2010, the RAV4 in Mexico has been simplified again to two trims but the Limited trim was dropped and consequently removed the four-wheel drive option, while the Base and Sport trims remained unchanged from 2009.

==== China ==== The XA30 RAV4 commenced production in China in April 2009. Trim levels were the 2.0 Classic, 2.0 Luxury, 2.0 Luxury Navi, 2.4 Luxury and 2.4 Luxury Navi. The 2.0-litre ''1AZ-FE'' and 2.4-litre ''2AZ-FE'' were standard paired to a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic gearbox.

The China-specific model had different styling compared to those sold in other countries, with a black strip that was placed in between the radiator and license plate like a moustache. It also had chrome bars below the front and rear bumpers. The license plate was also moved to the bottom bumper area to make way for the RAV4 logo and a rear fog lamp. Front and rear parking sensors are also standard.

The fourth-generation RAV4 was a complete redesign; it was revealed at the November 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show.<ref>{{cite web |title=2013 Toyota RAV4 debuts at LA Auto Show |url=http://www.autoweek.com/article/20121128/losangeles/121129877 |publisher=Autoweek |access-date=2013-07-31 |date=2011-11-28 |archive-date=11 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130911042458/http://www.autoweek.com/article/20121128/LOSANGELES/121129877 |url-status=live }}</ref> Unlike the previous generations, it featured a rear liftgate rather than a side-opening rear door and no longer had the spare wheel mounted on the rear door.

The RAV4 no longer offers a V6 engine like the previous generation—all engine choices were inline four-cylinder engines. Also, while the previous XA30 model was offered in regular and extended wheelbase lengths, the XA40 was only sold in a single wheelbase length (corresponding to the long wheelbase XA30).

The full hybrid system combined a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with an electric motor, a high voltage generator, a 204-cell nickel–metal hydride battery located under the rear seats, a power control unit, and a power split device. RAV4 Hybrids were available in both front and four-wheel drive variants. The four-wheel drive came equipped with a second, 50&nbsp;kW high-voltage, a rear-mounted electric motor that offers increased traction and a {{convert|1750|lb|adj=on}} towing capacity. The rear's electric motor operates independently from the hybrid system front's electric motor, driving the rear wheels alone.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2016-toyota-rav4-hybrid-awd-test-review |title=2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid AWD |first=Jeff |last=Sabatini |journal=Car and Driver |location=US |date=June 2016 |access-date=2017-08-13 |archive-date=14 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170814022735/http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2016-toyota-rav4-hybrid-awd-test-review |url-status=live }}</ref> US sales began in early January 2013.

=== Markets === For the Japanese market, the previous generation in short-wheelbase length remained on sale in Japan until 2016 instead of the newer, export only, XA40. The Harrier replaced the long-wheelbase model in Japan, previously badged as the Vanguard.

In Australia, the fourth-generation RAV4 went on sale in February 2013. Engine choices included a 2.0- and 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol, and 2.0- and 2.2-litre turbo-diesels.

The small overlap test, introduced in 2012 by the IIHS, simulates a frontal collision on 25&nbsp;percent of the driver's side. Since its adoption, the IIHS has noticed several automakers making non-symmetrical modifications to their vehicles, including the RAV4. Another small overlap test was conducted on a number of vehicles, including a 2015 RAV4, but was conducted on the passenger side instead. The RAV4 fared the worst and would have received a "poor" rating if the IIHS were to provide ratings for passenger-side protection. The crash test's intrusion was {{convert|330|mm|in|abbr=on}} further into the vehicle on the passenger's side than on the driver's side and caused the passenger door to open during the crash.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/desktopnews/vehicles-with-good-driver-side-protection-may-leave-passengers-at-risk |title=Vehicles with good driver-side protection may leave passengers at risk |publisher=Insurance Institute for Highway Safety |date=2016-06-23 |access-date=2016-09-04 |archive-date=17 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190117115920/https://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/desktopnews/vehicles-with-good-driver-side-protection-may-leave-passengers-at-risk }}</ref>

The fifth-generation RAV4 was unveiled at the March 2018 New York International Auto Show.<ref name=paultan-2018-03-28>{{cite news |url=https://paultan.org/2018/03/28/2019-toyota-rav4-makes-its-new-york-debut/ |title=2019 Toyota RAV4 makes its New York debut - TNGA platform, Dynamic Force engines, all-new styling |first=Gerard |last=Lye |work=paultan.org |date=2018-03-28 |access-date=2018-09-01 |archive-date=14 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114190719/https://paultan.org/2018/03/28/2019-toyota-rav4-makes-its-new-york-debut/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The design was previewed by the FT-AC concept shown at the December 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show. It is built on the same TNGA-K (GA-K) platform as the XV70 series Camry. Both 4-cylinder petrol-powered and petrol-electric hybrid (Hybrid Synergy Drive) variants would remain available. No diesel engine option is offered for this generation.

Development of the model was led by chief engineer Yoshikazu Saeki.<ref>{{cite web |date=2018-12-01 |title=A chat with 2019 Toyota RAV4 Chief Engineer Yoshikazu Saeki |url=https://www.sae.org/news/2016/12/rav4-chief-engineer-yoshikazu-saeki |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114205733/https://www.sae.org/news/2016/12/rav4-chief-engineer-yoshikazu-saeki |archive-date=14 January 2021 |access-date=2020-11-08 |publisher=SAE International |location=US}}</ref> Built on the GA-K platform, the unibody chassis of the fifth-generation RAV4 is 57 percent more rigid than the previous generation. The model incorporates a multi-link rear suspension to which is claimed to provide more ideal damping for handling, lesser interior cabin noise, and enhanced ride comfort.

For improved forward visibility around the A-pillar, Toyota positioned the side mirrors lower on the doors. The lowered beltline and the enlarged rear quarter glass also increased the side visibility from inside the car. Forward visibility is also enhanced by the positioning of the lower instrument panel and tucked-in windshield wipers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-11-20 |title=All-New 2019 Toyota RAV4 Breaks the Mold for the Segment It Created |url=https://pressroom.toyota.com/all-new-2019-toyota-rav4-breaks-the-mold-for-the-segment-it-created/ |access-date=2022-09-01 |website=Toyota USA Newsroom |language=en-US}}</ref>

The fifth-generation RAV4 also introduced a newly developed four-wheel drive system, marketed as "Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD". Claimed to be a world-first adoption, it is a torque vectoring type, which independently distributes torque to the left and right rear wheels according to driving conditions. A disconnect mechanism, marketed as "Rear Driveline Disconnect", is incorporated to transmit driving force only to the front wheels when 4WD is deemed unnecessary.<ref>{{cite press release |date=2018-03-28 |title=All-New 2019 Toyota RAV4 Serves Up a Breakthrough Debut at New York International Auto Show |url=https://pressroom.toyota.com/all-new-2019-toyota-rav4-serves-breakthrough-debut-nyias/ |website=Toyota USA Newsroom |location=New York, US |publisher=Toyota USA |access-date=2023-01-12}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |date=2018-11-20 |title=RAV4 Technology: Smartest SUV On the Block |url=https://pressroom.toyota.com/rav4-technology-smartest-suv-on-the-block/ |website=Toyota USA Newsroom |publisher=Toyota USA |access-date=2023-01-12}}</ref>

For hybrid models, all-wheel drive variants utilize the "E-Four"/"AWD-i" system. The updated system increases the total torque to the electronically driven rear wheels by 30 percent compared to the AWD system used in the previous generation. A new control system allows torque distribution to the front and rear wheels to be changed from between 100:0 to 20:80.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-03-28 |title=All-New 2019 Toyota RAV4 Serves Up a Breakthrough Debut at New York International Auto Show {{!}} Toyota {{!}} Global Newsroom |url=https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/21906523.html |access-date=2022-09-01 |website=Toyota Motor Corporation Official Global Website |language=en}}</ref> A standard AWD system without torque vectoring is also available for petrol models.

The testers noted "dangerous behavior" on the cone course, and that the electronic stability control "engaged very late", causing both vehicles to hop up on their outer tyres multiple times during the test.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://teknikensvarld.se/toyota-rav4-fails-the-moose-test-the-car-shows-dangerous-behavior/ |title=Toyota RAV4 fails the moose test – the car shows dangerous behavior |first=Linus |last=Pröjtz |magazine=Teknikens Värld |date=2019-09-12 |access-date=2019-09-26 |archive-date=26 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190926043743/https://teknikensvarld.se/toyota-rav4-fails-the-moose-test-the-car-shows-dangerous-behavior/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.motor1.com/news/370486/toyota-rav4-moose-test/ |title=Toyota RAV4 Fails Sweden's Dreaded Moose Test, Company Responds |first=Jeff |last=Perez |website=Motorsport Network |date=2019-09-12 |access-date=2019-09-26 |archive-date=26 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190926043736/https://www.motor1.com/news/370486/toyota-rav4-moose-test/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In response to the findings, Toyota issued a software update.

=== Toyota Wildlander (China) === The XA60 RAV4 will be sold in China under the Wildlander name, with similar front and rear fascias to the RAV4 Core model and will be produced in Guangzhou by GAC Toyota. Unlike the global model, a pure petrol version is offered with a 2.0-litre inline 4 (possibly the ''M20A-FKS;'' the actual engine is not yet known) producing 169 horsepower, with an engine of the same capacity also offered in a hybrid version producing 150 horsepower. The same hybrid powertrain as the global RAV4 with the 2.5-litre ''A25A-FXS'' engine will also be offered but is detuned with only 184 horsepower.<ref>{{cite web |last=Pappas |first=Thanos |date=August 8, 2025 |title=Toyota's New Wildlander Isn't Following The Same Script As The RAV4 |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2025/08/toyotas-new-wildlander-isnt-following-the-same-script-as-the-rav4 |website=Carscoops}}</ref>
