Toyota RAV4 2015 2.0 4WD has AWD (all wheel drive) (power is automatically distributed between the wheel axles) and manual gearbox with 6 gears. It has proactive automatic four-wheel drive with Auto, Lock and Sport modes. In Auto mode, the car has front-wheel drive under normal conditions. If wheel slip is detected, torque is transferred to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. In Sport mode, torque is transferred almost instantly between the front and rear wheels to enhance cornering performance by sending up to 50 percent of engine power to the rear wheels. Lock mode can be activated when driving below 40 km/h (25 mph) and provides constant four-wheel drive.
Toyota RAV4 2015 2.0 4WD accelerates to speed 100 kilometres per hour in 10.7 seconds. The maximum speed of this car is 180 km/h.
In combined cycle (city and motorway), the Toyota RAV4 2015 2.0 4WD fuel consumption is 7.8 litres per 100km (12.8 km/l), fuel consumption in city - 10 l/100km, highway fuel economy - 6.5 l/100km. Fuel tank capacity is 60 litres or 15.85 gallons, which gives a mileage up to 760 kilometers without refueling in urban cycle and even up to 920 kilometers on highway.
- Toyota RAV4 2015 2.0 2WD MT is more dynamic - it reaches 100 km/h 0.5 seconds faster (in 10.2 seconds), but manufacturer's fuel consumption is similar - 7.7 litres per 100 km
- Toyota RAV4 2015 2.0 2WD AT is more sluggish, reaching 100 km/h 0.4 seconds later (in 11.1 seconds), but more economic with manufacturer's fuel consumption is lower by 0.4 litres per 100 km or 5 % - 7.4 litres per 100 km
- Toyota RAV4 2015 2.0 4WD AT is more sluggish, reaching 100 km/h 0.6 seconds later (in 11.3 seconds), but more economic with manufacturer's fuel consumption is lower by 0.3 litres per 100 km or 4 % - 7.5 litres per 100 km

Engine reliability and common problems:
Owners often report increasing oil consumption, which becomes particularly pronounced over time. Additionally, the water pump has a limited service life, and after 150,000 km, the timing chain tends to stretch, causing increased noise that can only be resolved by replacing the component. Strange noises during engine operation are another frequent complaint.Carbon deposits in the intake manifold and throttle body often lead to fluctuating idle, while regular oil leaks typically originate from the oil filter or the timing chain cover gasket.
Some key issues with the engine include that repairs are often impossible or not economically viable. Strong vibration at idle, which cannot be resolved by replacing the engine mounts, is a design feature. Poor cold starts and noise in the timing mechanism occur, requiring attention to fuel quality and timely filter replacement. Performance issues during startup can often be fixed by resetting the control unit. Low-quality fuel leads to rapid clogging of fuel filters, and poor-quality oil contributes to the failure of hydraulic lifters. Valve seals wear out quickly, requiring regular replacement to maintain functionality.
Overall, this engine can last around 220,000 to 370,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
