Toyota RAV4 assembly quality for Russia

The quality of the assembly is not bad. Many note that power units, hodovka and electrician worthy. Regardless of which country there is a car, strict quality control is carried out. This avoids a number of problems.

The domestic assembly has a few minuses:

Which Toyota RAV4 assembly is better: whose manufacturer Was Last Modified: August 4, 2019 by Administrator.

From the article, the reader finds out where and in which countries is going to the Toyota Railway crossover than the first model from those produced lately and why. And the reader finds out whether the Toyota Rail 4 project closes soon.

Car owners when buying cars often are interested in the country, where she was collected. It is considered to better trust the assembly in European countries or Asian types of Japan or Korea. Next, you can hear questions about where they collect Toyota Rav 4 for Russiawhether in the Russian Federation its own assembly plant.

So where they collect this car. Answers are given in the next block.

Where the equalization is equal to 4

Answering the question where they collect Toyota RAY 4, you can give the following answers:

• China;
• India.

In European countries there are assembly plants Toyota Favor 4 2019 years in:

• Czech Republic;
• UK;
• Poland.

Japanese manufacturer Toyota Favor 4 2019year and past years installed the plant in South America. Namely to Brazil.

However, one should not think that in these factories collecting This car is for the domestic market in Japan. For residents of their country, assembly plants are inside the Japanese islands. For example, Tahara on the island of Atsumi is engaged in the production of machines for itself and residents of the Asian market.

But in Canada, the city of Ontario, the plant comes with cars only for the North American continent.

Attention! At such a factory, as Tahak, quality requirements for the production of machines are so high that all cars emerging from it receive a five-star safety assessment on the crash tests.

For Russia

If earlier cars purchased from other countries for sale in the domestic market of Russia, now in the country there is its own assembly plant and the release of the legendary Toyota RAV 4.

This plant opened in 2016. The owners did not bother him over the name of the company. Therefore, it is called "Toyota". Here, in addition to Raving 4, Toyota Camry is released.

The company is trying to take into account the taste and demand of the client on certain cars. Develops a wide range of programs to maximize amenities and comfort during a trip to cars coming from the conveyor LLC TOYOTA. Vehicles that are manufactured here come out immediately adapted to climatic conditions and roads.

Toyota Features Favor 4

Wherever the car collected, the characteristics remain completely Japanese. Lack of attention to trifles, which you will not say, for example, about the folzwagnes of the German manufacturer, when comparing cars.

Although many car owners emphasize the ergonomics of the driver's seat.

• convenient grip steering;
• well profiled;
• big moves of adjustments.

All this makes the Japanese crossover reliable and convenient, despite the inattention to small details.

Attention! In fact, the car was originally represented as a youth for outdoor activities. Therefore, it was called " Recreation Active. Vehicle.» (RAV.). And the figure 4 means that the engine has an all-wheel drive machine.

But most often there are few, which of the owners of this vehicle uses a car for off-road car. Basically, Japanese transport on Russian roads works in urban mode.

Pros and cons of domestic assembly

Continuing to answer the question where they collect Toyota RAY 4, It should be mentioned that the quality of the assembly of domestic leaves much to be desired. Here are examples:

• chromashes noise insulation. During trips on a country road, a stop on traffic lights, trips around the uneven road, noise is heard outside the car;
• the material that is used for the seat uphoems is used cheap. This does not correspond to the claimed value of the vehicle itself.

Plastic can begin to creak after one year of using the car. And on the paint and varnish coating remain. This suggests that cheap material is used.

But it's not just the domestic manufacturer. These are sinners and manufacturers of other countries where the legendary car Toyota is equal 4.

What will happen to Toyota RAY 4

There were rumors that the plant in St. Petersburg stops the release of Toyota RAV 4. Then these rumors confirmed the owners of the company. Since October 2019, the plant is moving to the fan of 4 fifth generation. And the production of the fourth generation car will be closed.

This will be an updated SUV, which will exceed its predecessor, as the manufacturers of Japanese transport say. What will receive a motorist when buying an updated equivalent of 4 fifth generation:

• new and brutal design. Auto will be equipped with new types of headlights: parabolic type and searchlight;
• improved handling. Problems will be finalized, due to which the family car of past generations could not compete with SUVs of Toyota Land Cruiser 200;
• reduced center of gravity;
• variator gearbox with mechanical gearbox. Now the car owner of this car will be able to manually manage the first and rear transmission. The mechanical part improves overclocking and makes it in tens of times faster than automatic. And also on an SUV with a variator box and a mechanical gearbox can not be afraid of traveling off-road for a long time. Conventional variasts quickly fail, as they are intended only for urban-type movement;
• four-wheel drive with two atmospheric motors with a volume of 2 and 2.5 liters. With the first engine, the car has a power of 150 horsepower, and 200 hp has the second;
• updated driver and passenger security package.

All these parameters make a new Toyota Railway with the best vehicle from all that were before. Updated cruise control, road sign recognition system and pedestrian recognition at night, helps the driver.

Conclusion

The first modifications of the car were not particularly pleased with the buyer with outstanding characteristics. Still, this car was created for reliable, quiet and family trips to picnics. Therefore, it does not matter where the Toyota RAV 4 2019 vehicle is collected, it seems to many that it will remain reliable and safe, but in terms of quality, there will change little.

But, if the car owner is not important, and the main sustainability on the road, the safety of the family on the seats of passengers, good permeability on the ground roads, then this car will be true for him.

Toyota does not require evidence of its quality or style. Especially, if we are talking about a powerful RAV crossover 4. The car appeared on the world market two dozen years ago, survived four restyling and confidently keeps his position to this day. The Japanese model is incredibly popular and in Russia, so the question will be logical :?

The Japanese manufacturer has 52 plant worldwide: in Mexico, Brazil, Great Britain, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, as well as Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Kenya, Vietnam. Most of all foreign enterprises in China.

But not all countries where Toyota cars are collecting RAV 4 ("Recreational Activity Vehicle, 4-Wheel Drive", which means "Active Recreation Machine, full-wheel drive). There are only three such factories: in Japan (in the cities of Tahara and the training) and in Canada (Ontario). The latter are intended for the Market of North America, and the cars from the country of the Rising Sun are for the European Buyer.

Where they collect Toyota Rav 4 for Russia

Toyota Rav 4 for the Russian market is produced in Japan. Therefore, a compact SUV is considered to be a "purebred" Japanese. And this is already a guarantee of its impeccable assembly and excellent running characteristics. Proof of this is a five-star EURO NCAP rating obtained in 2012.

Two factory in the Japanese cities of Takoyok and Tahara produce a popular crossover. On the conveyor of Takoyooka produce ten models of auto-brand, including RAV 4. This is the largest enterprise of the concern, which has existed since 1918, and where 280 thousand employees work. The annual turnover of cars is 6 million.

Another production workshop is located in the city of Tahara, where crossovers are made for both foreign and the country's domestic market. Interestingly, left-handed (export) and right-handed (for Japan) Rabbi 4 are collected on the same line.

Will the assembly of Toyota RAV 4 of the Russian

Yes. Demand gives birth to an offer, and the crossover is very popular. Therefore, very soon, in 2016, the first Toyota Railway cars will appear on the Russian market, which moved from the "local" conveyor. The Japanese concern plans to launch at the end of 2015 the production of the fourth generation of the crossover at the plant in Shushary (not far from St. Petersburg), where the Sewan Camry Sedan Camry is collected for Russia.

With a presentation of a new Toyota in Russia, a little pulled out due to the establishment of production at the factory in St. Petersburg. As long as the manufacturer passed all the circles of hell of the documentation and established the production line, the inhabitants of many neighboring countries have already enjoyed a novelty in the Japanese assembly. New Rav4 became brutal, male, absolutely out of once the usual female cute style and acquired new features. This generation of the car turned out to be one of the most promising precisely for sales growth. Of course, the presentation of such a novelty could not pass by journalists, so today opinions and information about this car is even debugged. Today we will look at what exactly suggested Toyota to Russian buyers how optimal build quality will be provided to the concern, as well as discuss some features of the new car. You will be surprised, but the car did not at all become more than the predecessor, and even lost 5 mm in the body length due to changes in the body shape.

However, this is not the only amazing fact about the new crossover. Specialists in the field of the automotive market, without shame, are called RAV 4 one of the main contenders for the central place in the sales lists of Parketnikov in Russia. But it is not worth a hurry, you need to consider what competots are offered to understand all the features of this car and its prospects. The new generation pleases not only with its changes in terms of appearance. The company proposed new technologies, in many countries RAV4 is sold in the form of a hybrid, and this version is really popular. Looking in advance, let's say that the off-road abilities of this car have become simply incredible for class. In essence, it is a small Land Cruiser, so the buyer will clearly be satisfied with the opportunities for the technical part and will be able to conquer the roads that were unattainable for the past generation "Rafa".

Appearance, Salon and Comfort - What is important in the car?

Immediately, let's say that the assembly in St. Petersburg does not affect the quality of the car. Collect it completely from Japanese components, and the main assembly processes pass on a robotic conveyor. The human factor is almost completely excluded, and this is very good news for the buyer. That is, the car differ from the Japanese sample will be minimal. However, for Russia, the Japanese introduced several other technologies, so it was necessary to refine production from scratch and make a lot of changes to the conveyor nodes.

You can see such features in the car:

• aggressive optics and angular shapes give out the modernity of the car, the Toyota looks very relevant, there are no problems with the identification of the brand, the recognizable features remained, but changed;
• this is the first generation of RAV4, in which the interior design corresponds to the body design, everything is harmonized here and merges in one sports and youth symphony with excellent melody overflows;
• materials of the interior decoration became richer, from this car turns out to be even more comfortable and more successful, pleased with a new shape of the seats, which guarantees excellent comfort in the go;
• on the center console, a slightly alien element looks like a touchscreen, but it is functional and convenient, so there is no problems with its operation, it does not please only a common design;
• an unpleasant reminder of the classic design remains the control buttons of some functions on the center console (under the climate block), they look outdated.

Of course, this is Toyota, and for obtaining real comfort you need to buy a complete set. For example, in the last two most expensive versions, the concern introduces support for lumbar suspension. Spear detail, but it strongly changes the level of comfort in the car. So the Japanese earn money and force buyers to give more for the functions that they often do not need. However, this is a business, and it is necessary to understand that the company otherwise will not earn the necessary funds for the release of the next generation of a wonderful and even legendary crossover.

What in the technical part for Russia?

Rav4 is quite simple for technology, the concern did not introduce the newest engines in the Russian conditions and downsayzing models. We have no hybrids, and they are not planned. However, it would be interesting to see in Russian grades at least something that is sold in Europe, for example. The same hybrid could gain popularity among young people and go as an alternative to aggregates with great expense. But all manufacturers are afraid to experiment and do not want to spend big money on certifying what will not be sold by large circulations.

According to the new Toyota Rav4 technique, everything is in perfect order:

• two power units are presented - one 2-liter on 149 forces, a completely adequate option for a given machine, as well as a 2.5-liter option for 199 forces, both engine new engineers;
• the base unit is equipped with a manual box on 6 steps only in the basic version, in other variations the CVT variator appears, the elder motor is only with an 8-speed automaton;
• the first two configurations are equipped with an end wheel drive, the other versions have a complete AWD drive with a good realization, for such a system it is worth overpaying to any buyer;
• the suspension concern has updated, it has become softer, but continues to keep the road well, now you can go to RAV4 with full comfort, without losing control and sensation of the road;
• new technical solutions exactly do not make a car worse, the car actually improved and gained more chances for successful sales, pleases technical proximity with older brothers.

If you have long wanted Land Cruiser 200, but you can not afford it, it makes sense to look at the new Rav4. The car received many similar technical and technological solutions, even if it did not become a full-fledged SUV. Many journalists after tests call this car with a reduced copy of the cruiser's lend, and it is very fair. Feels from the trip, the model is not inferior to a crossover in the Russian market. It is also important that the car can compete with SUVs in terms of the quality of overcoming a difficult path.

Prices and other features of the car in the Russian market

The car was very expensive for those who wanted to buy a Toyota with the former price tag. The problem is that the concern almost completely changed the model and implemented many innovations that did not allow to keep the old price tag. It is quite obvious that the cost is growing, but on potential buyers it does not affect too much. You can already see how the roads of Russia are saturated with these cars. We always trusted Toyota, and this trust today is poured into sales even at overpriced prices. However, the limit of trust can be quickly exhausted, so the concern should be careful with new price tags.

Interesting features on pricing policy:

• basic equipment with a 2-liter engine and mechanical mechanics will cost the buyer in 1,756,000 rubles, for the variator almost in the same configuration will have to pay more than 200,000 rubles;
• a total of three available configurations are presented - Standart, Comfort and Prestige, it is the last version that turns out to be the most successful on the content, but its price starts from 2.3 million with a junior engine;
• for the most expensive Toyota RAV4 will have to lay out 2,661,000 rubles, this is a version with a senior engine, full-wheel drive and a new machine in the Prestige configuration, but there are also a number of additions for money;
• probably, the leader of sales will be the junior engine with a variator in the Comfort configuration for 2.28 million rubles, this version turns out to be a golden middle, gives good equipment;
• if you decide to buy the basic option, you will have to lay even up to 200,000 rubles for additional accessories and elements that are already represented in more expensive versions immediately.

Despite the small number of packages, it will be difficult to choose a good option in them and choose a good option. Japanese machine is not easy. Everything looks simple and understandable, but with the beginning of a real choice come problems that do not always work quickly. Therefore, it is not necessary to talk about the optimal price tag. Toyota exhibits a fairly high price, given the assembly of a car in our country. The same price tags are exhibited in neighboring countries where the car is being taken directly from the Japanese plants. It seems that the price tag for Rav4 in Russia is overestimated, and this is not very pleased with the potential buyer.

What else can I see in this budget?

The price competition towards RAV4 includes not all market crossovers. This is a pretty expensive car, so it competes only with the top price segment in the market. Of course, the car is very impressive from the point of view of modernity and technical equipment, but no one likes to overpay, so potential buyers will definitely browse the market from the point of view of competitors in class and cost. It will be necessary to explore much, since this segment in Russia is replenished by almost constantly interesting novelties.

The main RAV-4 competitors are as follows:

1. Honda CR-V. The car is very interesting in terms of reliability, class, comfort and appearance. Very good engines, good ergonomics, sports management and many other benefits await the buyer. The starting price of 2,135,000 rubles is quite comparable to good versions of Toyota.
2. Mazda CX-5. These cars are similar in spirit, and Mazda can be bought significantly cheaper. In the database, it costs 1.58 million rubles, and this is a completely democratic price tag for the complete set, which the concern offers the buyer.
3. Volkswagen Tiguan. From 1.5 million in the market is a German competitor to Toyota. The German looks good, possesses excellent technical parameters, perfectly crouted and quite reliable. For 2 000 000 rubles you can buy a very decent version.
4. Nissan X-Trail. This crossover is a bit more RAV4, it demonstrates a softer trip, good functions of the road off-road, the car is generally very worthy in terms of reliability. For 1.58 million rubles you can buy a database with a good engine.
5. Renault Koleos. Also, a car from a higher class, which has large dimensions and offers excellent space in the interior. The renewed Koleos in Russia is sold from 1.7 million, which means that it is included in the price competition with Toyota.

Here are such interesting offers are on the market. You can choose both a more spacious and majestic crossover from a high-end and a Japanese competitor with similar technical proposals. Even the design of the Japanese approximately looks like, it speaks of a small post office due to the lack of original ideas. Subaru Forester, Hyundai Santafe, Skoda Kodiaq and other representatives of crossover class in Russia can also be considered as a competitor. All of them intersect in some way or another in sales with our today's review.

We offer to watch video test drive New Toyota RAV4:

Let's sum up

Journalists and experts, opinions on this car practically do not differ. Most likely, the car will be deservedly gained its popularity in the Russian market. At least, Toyota do not doubt this, since they decided to invest in the production line in St. Petersburg. Of course, the Russian assembly no longer scares potential buyers, but only pleases, as it is possible to a small savings on the price tag of the car. However, the price remained about the same as in other countries, where Rav4 is driven from Japan. But in general, find some major cons in the car does not work even from the most experienced drivers who have already time to try the car.

It must be recognized that the transport is made qualitatively, created to enjoy the road. The engines are very economical, they will not be forced daily to be broken by visits on the gas station. The reliability of Japanese technology has not raised questions, at least while the car is new. Of course, the motors are no longer a millionth, but they will not break into 100,000 km. Simple technical design and quite adequate equipment make a car potentially very popular in Russia. What do you think about a novelty from Japan with a Russian assembly?

Build Toyota RAV 4 is practically not related to the quality of this popular among domestic car lists of the car. Powerful continues to keep its position on the market for more than 20 years, surviving 4 change of generations and several restyings. Although in fact released it throughout this period not only in Japan. Therefore, many potential buyers are interested in issues where the assembly is performed now and in which country they collected cars, often occurring in the secondary market, before.

Where they collect Toyota RAY 4

To reduce the cost of transportation and assembly, the Japanese autocontracean opened at one time assembly lines around the world in:

• Brazil,
• UK,
• Poland,
• Czech Republic
• India
• and China.

However, the production of RAV 4, the full name of which can be decoded as a "all-wheel drive car for outdoor activities" is far from every such factory.

Several years ago, all generations of this series, including RAY 4, 2015 and earlier versions, were produced only in 4 enterprises:

• The main production facilities manufacturer posted Takhar and Takaoca in Japanese cities. More than 10 names are going to these factories, and the quality of the assembly is so high that all products invariably receive 5 stars in EURO NCAP crash tests.
• Another assembly line is located in Tahar, on the Japanese Peninsula Atsumi. Here they collect cars and sales within the country, and export. And, and the left-handers, and the models with the right wheel are released on one conveyor.
• At the plant in Ontario (Canada), unlike the European, Russian and Asian consumers oriented by Japanese enterprises, crossovers were gathered only for North American customers.

However, since 2016, respond to the question where they collect Toyota RAY 4 for Russia, it became even easier. If earlier it was possible to definitely call only the country, but not a factory, now the company's Toyota enterprise in St. Petersburg (reference to the plant) is engaged in the release of the car. The model of the Japanese brand is also going to be gathering in demand - Camry sedan.

Build quality

Car buyers note that the quality of the Toyota RAV 4 assembly can be called acceptable if we are talking about power units, chassis and electronics. The multistage control system allows you to avoid problems, regardless of the country in which the machine is going. However, considering other characteristics, such minuses of domestic versions can be seen:

• cheap fabric, not quite the corresponding value of the model - not even too new Toyota RAV 4 2016 will cost the buyer more than 1 million rubles;
• the low level of noise insulation is the disadvantage, especially noticeable during riding on an uneven road or crossed terrain.

Not disposed of flaws and Japanese build Toyota RAV 4 2015 or any other year. Auto owners are celebrated such minuses as a cheap and over time, a beginner creak plastic. Low quality and paintwork, on which scratches remain constantly.
