not sure it belongs in this thread either, considering this thread is dedicated to the the next generation, whereas EV is based on current

That's still based on the current gen RAV4. I'm impressed that they updated the gauge cluster, and the HVAC controls to much more modern ones.

Love the new gauges! Wish all cars would move to a digital readout for speed and dump the space-robbing dial.

If it really looks like that, I need to seriously consider rehoming my GS.

those are just renderings based on leaked Auris pics... it looks too small for Rav4.

If it looks like that (surely that is a loaded model) that is a good thing. I have to say its great to see that with the Lexus "spindle" the 2 companies are more distinct.

those tails are for sure there, rest is questionable... but tails are there on next gen Auris and Rav4, since we have them in the spyshots.

I think it's the real deal. Artist renderings usually can't get all 3 angles to look so consistent with each other. And don't forget that in many other markets there's the SWB version that's smaller than the LWB version sold in the US.

BTW what language is in that leaked brochure?

I hate that bar in the grill Toyota's have been getting lately. It sort of works on the Camry and Avalon but looks ugly on every other application.
