Toyota introduced the third generation of the Rav4 in late 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and the automaker made it available only with five doors, ditching the three-door version for most of the markets.

After twelve years on the market, the Rav4 (or Vanguard on some markets) already had an established name. The crossover proved that it could successfully replace a compact station wagon, a minivan, and a light off-road vehicle. It was indeed a Jack of all trades vehicle, and that was kept on the third generation. Most countries got the regular version, while the U.S. and Australian customers also got an extended wheelbase version that could accommodate a third row of seats.

The car's front fascia revealed swept-back headlights with a reminiscence of bio-design language. Their curved lines merged into sharp corners on the inner and outer sides. The car's grille with two slats also hosted the automaker's badge in the middle. At the same time, the bumper featured a lower protective shield for the engine. Yet, it was made from composite materials, not metallic, so it was mainly adequate against snow banks. From its profile, the Rav4 sported a tall beltline raised behind the rear doors. Finally, at the back, depending on the market, the vehicle featured a spare wheel mounted on the side-hinged tailgate.

Inside, Toyota created a roomy interior fit for five adults. Even the center tunnel that crossed from front to back was not that intrusive. At the front, the occupants sat in high-mounted seats and had a good view of the road. At the same time, the rear passengers were spoiled with reclining and sliding seats on the 60/40 split-folding bench.

Toyota sold the Rav4 with either gasoline or two turbo-diesel engines, depending on the market. It was also available with either front or all-wheel drive, with a five or six-speed manual or an automatic transmission.
