RAV4 is SUV T

he TNGA platform has allowed the Toyota engineers and designers to create a cross-octagonal style body shape which gives the Next-Gen RAV4 a strong SUV character and great on-road presence.

The newly developed E-Four all-wheeldrive system automatically optimises the distribution of power to the front and rear wheels in all Next-Gen RAV4 Hybrid models.

In normal on-road driving the E-Four system distributes more driving force from the electric motor to the rear wheels at take-off which suppresses any unwanted slippage from the front wheels, and provides you with enhanced acceleration, improved steering stability and reduced understeer when cornering in the NextGen RAV4 Hybrid.

When driving off-road the E-Four system has greatly increased the torque output to the rear wheels providing you with more powerful hill climbing ability on rough terrain.

The Next-Gen RAV Limited Hybrid is discretely distinguished on the road by its exclusive gloss black finished 18-inch alloy wheels and in addition it also offers you a

greater touch of luxury and better view of the outside world thanks to a tilt and slide glass sunroof.

Knowing that New Zealanders like you have active and busy lifestyles, Toyota has not compromised on the specification of safety features for the Next-Gen RAV. Toyota Safety Sense is standard from the entry level GX model to the top-of-the-range Adventure.

Toyota Safety Sense features pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking (PCS with AEB), as well as vehicle, pedestrian, and daytime cyclist detection functions.

In addition, the new RAV4 range also features lane tracing assist with lane departure alert function (LTA with LDA), steering assist, and lane centring function. It also provides all-speed dynamic radar cruise control (DRCC), while road sign assist (RSA) and automatic high beam (AHB) will allow you to focus more easily on the road ahead.

Yet more safety features for the NextGen RAV4 Hybrid Limited include blind spot monitor (BSM), rear cross traffic alert (RCTA), trailer sway control (TSC) for greater confidence when towing, and the all-important panoramic view monitor

with dynamic guidelines as well as front and rear parking sensors.

Inside the cabin of the Next-Gen RAV4 there is an 8-inch audio display for greater clarity of the satellite navigation system and the new colour multi information display provides all the car’s information in a format that is quick and easy to read.

To make parking even easier for you the Next-Gen RAV4 Limited FWD has a 360 degree panoramic view monitor.

Other convenience features include a power back door, powered leather accented driver’s seat and driver’s lumbar adjustment, as well as front seat heaters.

“The demand for the new RAV4, has been unprecedented for Toyota in New Zealand,” says Toyota New Zealand general manager Neeraj Lala.

“Introducing the hybrid variants in particular are doing very well for us as customers look for fuel efficient and performance.

“We have also seen that customers are willing to wait because quite simply it is a great vehicle and represents exceptional value.

“It also helps that RAV4 is better than

anything else in the small SUV market at the moment.

“For 25 years RAV4 has been pioneering the way, it’s New Zealand’s biggest selling volume SUV and it looks like that is not set to change any time soon.”

The 1500kg maximum braked towing capacity of Next-Gen RAV4 Hybrid matches the non-hybrid 2.5-litre models and proves its ability as a no-compromise SUV. From Toyota Safety Sense to a fully connected cabin, from a keyless smart entry to an 8-inch audio display, the Next-Gen RAV4 is more advanced than any of its predecessors.

Next-Gen RAV4 is a no compromise SUV designed to meet the needs of active, adventurous and sustainably-conscious New Zealanders who are both young and young at heart.

The next-gen RAV4 Hybrid is the fastest, most powerful ever. Boasting 219 combined net total system horsepower transfered to all four wheels.

Just when you think the Next-Gen RAV4 couldn’t get any more adventurous.

The RAV4 Adventure Grade up-ends the rules yet again, bringing classic outdoor design and features to an already impressive vehicle.

• Latest facelift The multimedia system is updated to include Apple CarPlay(r) and Android Auto(tm) which allows the user to interact with supported • their 15,000km smartphone applications via the vehicle display while device is connected using a USB cable.

• 2.8L Turbo Diesel The Adventure model has also been updated to include Intelligent Clearance Sonar and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking.

Last month the RAV4 was the worthy recipient of the 2019 AA Driven People’s Choice Car of the Year and Medium SUV Car of the Year awards.

T

he ACH130 Aston Martin Edition, the first offering from the recently-announced partnership between Aston Martin Lagonda and Airbus Corporate Helicopters, was revealed this week at Courchevel in the French Alps.

This stylish special edition of the ACH130 helicopter comes equipped with a range of four interior and exterior designs generated by Aston Martin, which will delight helicopter owners and pilots who appreciate the pleasures of possessing and driving high performance bespoke luxury cars.

The aeronautical designers at Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) and the automotive designers at Aston Martin have worked closely together for over a year, marrying ACH’s key values of excellence, quality and service with Aston Martin’s commitment to beauty, handcrafting and automotive art to bring a new level of aesthetics and rigorous attention to detail to the

helicopter market.

Available in four external liveries with complementary interiors, the helicopters are embellished with Aston Martin signature elements, starting with the iconic Aston Martin wings, which are embossed onto luxury leather features, tastefully positioned throughout the cabin.

The Stirling Green-themed external scheme, which is already flying on the first aircraft, features a painted gradient, which fades down into Jet Black on the underside of the helicopter with Skyfall Silver around the cowlings.

Further external liveries are available with other Aston Martin paint colours including Xenon Grey, Arizona or Ultramarine Black exteriors.

Inside, the automotive-inspired cabin, which offers a higher level of comfort, is trimmed in Pure Black ultra-suede with a palette of selectable leathers comprising Oxford Tan, Pure Black, Cormorant and Ivory.

On the rear of the front seats the same

brogue detailing that is found in a DB11 runs down the centre of the seat and the doors have been trimmed with leather to provide passengers with comfortable touch points during their flight.

By using materials from the Aston Martin automotive palette the interior of this special edition of the ACH130 sits in harmony with the interior of Aston Martin sports cars.

Each of these special edition helicopters will have a plaque included on the instrument panel which shows the partnership logos, the edition number and the owner’s name, should they wish to have it included.

Aston Martin Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman, said: “We have our own set of automotive design principles but in recent years we have been learning how to apply our principles to other areas of design, such as architecture, motorcycles and now helicopters.

“This first application of our design

practices to a helicopter posed a number of interesting challenges but we have enjoyed working through them.

“Beauty is of vital importance to Aston Martin and to our customers and we think the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition is an inherently beautiful machine.

“It provided a wonderful canvas for our team to work on so we now look forward to seeing everybody’s reaction.”

Frédéric Lemos, Head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters, also commented: “The ACH130 Aston Martin Edition is optimally positioned in the market for hands-on owners who draw satisfaction from personally piloting their aircraft and it generates strong brand-loyalty.

“In the same way Aston Martin’s products are cars for drivers who relish being at the wheel and they inspire a comparable attachment to the brand.

“So they are the perfect partner for us in developing this superb new ACH130 Aston Martin Edition.”

Powered by a 700 or 800 horsepower supercharged Ford 5.0 V8, the Super Snake can launch from 0-60 in as little as 3.5 seconds.

The Shelby Super Snake Wide Body Edition was created to maximise the handling of the Ford

Mustang chassis.
