Dakar-Themed Toyota RAV-X Concept Could Hint At A Rugged Version Of The Next-Gen RAV4

Toyota has introduced yet another concept for the 2024 SEMA Show, this time based on the RAV4. The Toyota RAV-X is inspired by off-road rally cars, featuring beefed-up suspension, grippy tires, and a redesigned bodykit. More importantly, the concept explores the possibility of a rugged model that could crown the next-gen RAV4 lineup.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”) {
adpushup.triggerAd(“4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a”);
} else{
adpushup.triggerAd(“6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657”);
}
});

The concept that looks ready to tackle the Dakar Rally, was developed by the Toyota Service Parts and Accessories Development (SPAD).

The US-based team, which is focused on accessories and performance upgrades, wanted to create a vehicle that combines “agile off-road capability and high-speed performance”. The resulting build envisions a “halo vehicle concept for the RAV4 lineup” designed for off-road enthusiasts. This description sounds fitting for a GR-branded version of the RAV4 with Dakar references, although Toyota has yet to confirm that this will actually happen.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”) {
adpushup.triggerAd(“5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130”);
}
});

Mike Tripp, group vice president of Toyota Division Marketing said: “This Toyota RAV-X is more than just a concept; it’s a bold statement of what’s possible when innovation meets performance. RAV4 is one of our most popular and versatile vehicles; with RAV-X we’re showing an entirely new possibility of just how cool and adventurous a small crossover like this can be.”

The RAV-X is one of several Toyota vehicles on display at the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, including the Land Cruiser Rox pickup, also hinting at a future production offering.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”) {
adpushup.triggerAd(“e96f0476-8b1d-4bb8-b64c-33f9656987b2”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f9edca9-aa84-4c07-8987-4cad23928c2d”);
}
