I just bought a used 2018 RAV4

Hi,

I have a couple questions I would appreciate some help with.

It's a 2018 RAV4 Icon, but has powered external mirrors, is that normal?

Touch &go system seems to be old one but apparently was replaced by touch&go2 in 2016. So why have I got an old system?

First registered Mar2018, but V5 says first owner acquired it in Oct 2018. Can someone explain that to me please?

When did warranty start? 

 

Thanks everyone.

New car warranty would commence from when the car was first registered for use on the road - so in your case should be March 2018. You should be able to check this with a Toyota dealer.

I was able to download the UK Owner manual and powered mirrors are mentioned.

I logged into My Toyota, and the website says my RAV4 is a 2017 model but first registered in MAR2018.

So is it a 2017 or 2018 SUV?

Thanks.

Hi, it will most likely be a 2017 year model. I have a 2019 Model registered Mar2020.  

Hope that helps

Legally it would be a 2018 vehicle, as that was when it was first registered for use on the road.

Model years are different.
