Your perspective on RAV4 pricing will depend upon what kind of car you perceive this to be. The motoring mags will tell you that it competes with upper-spec versions of family Crossovers like Renault's Kadjar and Hyundai's Tucson - but against these cars, it looks quite expensive, with D-4D prices pitched in the £27,500 to £31,500 bracket.

Toyota though, perceives this as something more than a Crossover: yes, the RAV4 can appeal to that kind of buyer but traditionally, it's also been something more sophisticated, a more capable compact SUV too - a car like Honda's CR-V.

It's certainly priced very similarly to a CR-V. The 2.0-litre diesel engine that most customers choose is available in all four grades, 'Icon', 'Icon Tech', 'Design' and 'Excel'.

It seems strange though, that Toyota isn't offering diesel buyers all-wheel drive or auto gearbox options. All models get the brand's latest Toyota Touch 2 infotainment system that includes Bluetooth, a DAB radio and a reversing camera.

Other standard features run to cruise control, a sunglasses holder, a shark fin antenna and a leather steering wheel cover. This is in addition to 17-inch alloys, LED daytime running lights, air conditioning, rear privacy glass and electric door mirrors.
