The TOYOTA RAV 4 (2000-06) 5DR STATION WAGON 2.0 VVTI XT3 AUTO CHROME COLLECTION is a compact SUV: a practical five-door family car with a higher driving position and useful space, rather than a conventional hatchback. In the UK, the RAV4 helped make the small, road-friendly SUV popular, blending everyday comfort with light off-road ability. This automatic XT3 suits families, couples and commuters for school runs, shopping and weekend trips; its raised view and flexible cabin work in town and on country roads. Chrome Collection styling notably sets it apart, while the 2.0-litre petrol engine delivers familiar performance. Expect older-car running costs, not modern-SUV economy.

Against rivals, it’s a roomy, practical early SUV, valued for versatility and automatic convenience.
