Use VIN/chassis context and build date instead of model year alone; front ends, lamps, electronics and mechanical systems can change at a generation or running revision.
RAV4 vehicle identity
Toyota RAV4 Generations, Chassis & Market Guide
Separate early XA families, the fifth-generation XA50 and the all-new sixth-generation RAV4, together with production date, grade and regional equipment before building a parts list.
Decision workflow
Turn a broad RAV4 request into traceable inquiry lines.
North American, European, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Asian and other export versions can differ in engines, emissions, lighting, bumpers, ADAS and available drivetrains.
Add standard, Adventure, Woodland, GR SPORT or other market grade where relevant, plus roof, wheel-arch, liftgate, camera and radar equipment.
Keep vehicle identity, position, available OE/reference or old-part label, photos, quantity and buyer item code on the same inquiry line.
Evidence hierarchy
Use the strongest available evidence without forcing an OE number.
VIN/chassis context, generation, build date, market, grade, powertrain and drive layout define the application.
Use a reliable OE/reference when available; otherwise use labels, interfaces, position, dimensions and old-part photos.
Quantity, grade, sample status, packing, destination and approved alternatives define what is quoted.
