Rav4 Estimated Delivery, etc

[Rob8980]

This is my first post so hello everyone! I’ve just placed an order for a RAV4 Dynamic PHEV and I was told delivery was expected September/October, but I only need it in November so they are happy to keep hold of it for me until then. They did say November was ideal as it allows for some delays.

Excellent exterior colour choice the same as I have ordered but with beige interior. Any chance you could  put up a rear side on photo. Thanks

Yes as long as you don't get the Panoramic Roof or the Premium Pack applies to HEV only

Pictures you asked for I hope this is what you were after.

Roger, THAT is a lovely colour. 👏👏👏

[Flatcoat]

It is a great colour, looks stunning in sunshine. I prefer those wheels to the PHEV Dynamic style, too blingy. Just realised that has chrome door handle inserts, that looks good.

Roger - could you fit a full size spare wheel in there or is it only enough to fit a space saver wheel?  Ta 😊

I will see what the space is like tomorrow but I think a 123/555R19 is possibly to big

Thanks - appreciate it 👍🏻  Mine will be a 225/55/R19.

It’s not coming until May, so plenty of time 🤞🏻

Lovin’ the colour - similar to my current Corolla TS 👍🏻😊

Will it? IIRC a MY21 Dynamic / Black Edition would have arrived on 225 tyres. A full size 225 will fit in the wheel well with the boot at its higher setting. There are YouTube videos about that show this ...

The MY22 Dynamic comes of 235 tyres - so 10mm deeper which may or may not quite fit. I'm not aware of any member who has reported trying this.

My guess is that 'new' Black Editions" will be based  on the MY22 Dynamic spec but what do I know? No, I really don't know ... 🙂

Hi Philip, not really sure what we will get for the Black Editions as they had stopped making them, but are honouring outstanding orders - whether we will get any 22 upgrades or not, so just gonna wait and see.

As you say, it may be a case of waiting to see what comes with the black edition as there is no 22MY spec to know what may have change - but you may be pleasantly surprised as I’m sure the original spec when you would have placed your order had a full size spare as standard (and whatever the width, you’d like to think it would still come hidden away under the boot floor) 👍🏻

The last spec (1st Oct 21)I have for the Black Edition has a TRK and no spare.

and it's a very long time since a UK spec RAV4 was delivered with a full-size spare ...

Just found out the spec and seems you are right, so I’m not sure where I got that from (https://www.toyota.co.uk/download/cms/gben/RAV4_price_list_Jun_2021_WEB_tcm-3060-1968495.pdf).

 

I have noticed Parker’s seem to list “Full Size Spare” under Black Edition Standard Equipment, so maybe I’ve seen it listed somewhere based on that spec or something, who knows haha (https://www.parkers.co.uk/toyota/rav4/suv-2019/25-vvt-i-hybrid-black-edition-5dr-cvt/specs/).

As Philip said you should be OK with a 225/55R19 but a 235 looks to be just to big, it may be JUST Ok if it was part inflated but too close to call, diameter there is no issue with as the space saver in mine is slightly bigger then a 235 wheel and tyre.

 

[Flatcoat]

The difference in diameter between the 225 and 235 is 5mm….. the difference in width is 10mm….. struggling to believe the 235 will not fit.

Take into account the sidewall bulge 10mm (5 each side) may be a little more and the floor will not fit flat. Unfortunately I can't try the full size wheel at present as I'm struggling with my back.

Mod edit? Really? It's not Sunday School - we are all adults surely?
