Toyota RAV4 - Crash Tests 2019

The passenger compartment of the RAV4 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Toyota showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of critical body areas was good or adequate for both the driver and rear passenger. In the side barrier test, dummy readings indicated good protection of all critical body areas. The same was true of the more severe side pole test, but the curtain airbag caught on part of the interior trim and was judged not to have deployed correctly. As a result, protection of the head was down-graded from good to adequate in both the side impact tests. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system scored full points in tests of its functionality at low speeds, typical of city driving, with collisions avoided in all scenarios.
