Toyota RAV4 2018 review
You can't stand still, even if you're often number one on a car buyer's list and your name is Toyota. Reputation is hard-won and easily lost, and the Japanese company hasn't dropped the ball.

If you like a little bit more of everything, the fourth model up the Holden Equinox 2018 model range could be for you - it’s the LTZ, which is available in front-wheel drive at $39,990 or all-wheel drive at $44,290.
That may seem like a big jump from front- to all-wheel drive, but that’s because the AWD model employs a clever system that can allow the driver to effectively disconnect the rear drive axle, in order to help save fuel. The AWD model also has revised suspension and a higher ride height.
Both the FWD and AWD models use the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged unit with 188kW and 353Nm, and both are available strictly with a nine-speed auto transmission. A diesel will be available later in 2018.

The LTZ builds upon the LT model, upgrading to 19-inch alloy wheels, while also adding a hands-free power tailgate, semi-automated parking (parallel and perpendicular), rain-sensing wipers, leather-appointed seats, wireless phone charging, heated front and rear seats, power adjustable driver’s seat, roof rails, DAB+ digital radio, LED headlights and tail-lights, and a Bose premium sound system.
That’s on top of the 8.0-inch touchscreen media system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, four USB points (two front, two rear) a 230-volt powerpoint in the second row, and dual-zone climate control.
All of the same safety tech remains, including a reversing camera, rear parking sensors (complemented by rear parking sensors in this spec), and six airbags, 'Holden Eye' camera safety system with auto emergency braking (AEB), lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning. Additionally, there’s blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and auto high-beam assist, and Holden’s 'Safety Alert' driver’s seat, which will vibrate to warn the driver of potential hazards.
