Toyota RAV4 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1994–2000) — First Generation

The Toyota RAV4 First Generation introduced a compact SUV with a fresh, car-like feel. It combined everyday usability with light off-road ability, and its unusual three-door cabriolet body added open-air appeal to the practical lineup.

Toyota RAV4 Engines and Transmissions

The Toyota RAV4 engine in this generation is a 2.0-liter gasoline unit, paired with either a manual or automatic transmission. Both options send power to all four wheels, giving dependable traction in wet or loose conditions. The cabriolet example shows the same powertrain, so open-top driving doesn’t mean giving up all-wheel drive security.
