New Rav ordered

[Snowstorm3611]

So after only owning my Corolla for 12 months I decided to order a new RAV4 yesterday. Nothing wrong with the Corolla apart from being a bit low for me to get in & out of with a bad back. 
I’ve just got notification that the order is being processed & I’m not expecting it to arrive for between 6-10 months but I’ve just realised that it appears to be made in Russia. Wondering if that’s going to be an issue?  Is it still built there?

UK cars are made in Japan, anyway I think Toyota have closed the Russian site at present.

Definitely made in Japan so no issues or worries on that count.

Rav's for the UK/EU markets are and have always been produced in Japan.

Russian produced Rav's are for Russia and neighbouring countries only. See Toyota's statement on the Ukraine situation:

I made the change from a C-HR to a RAV4 for the same reason as you, easier to get in and out of plus for me there is more room in the front (and back).
