Toyota's third-generation RAV4 has been on the scene since 2005, making it one of the oldest models in the brand's current line-up.

Facelifts have kept the midsized SUV fresh, but now a new model is on the way and recent spy photos have offered hints at what is to come.

This week however, new photos snapped by a member of the Saudia Arabian ToyotaClub-SA community reveal more than a few of the new car's finer details.

The images offer further proof that the new RAV4 will borrow heavily from the look of the new Camry, featuring a hooked headlight design, deep-V grille and hard-edged bumpers.

At the rear, the new RAV4's lights will extended into the tailgate, while a low-cut bumper creating the same tall opening loading provided by the third-gen SUV.

While previous generations of the RAV4 have taken on more bulk with each successive model, the spied SUV looks to retain the general proportions of the current model.

Engine options are likely to offer the same spread as the current model, including four- and six-cylinder variants.

Watch for more details on the new RAV4 over the coming year.

  I have 2 Ravs, a '98 and '04 The first at 1295kgs and the second at 1345kgs. Todays Ravs nudge 1700kgs. Toyotas motto seems to be, " when you're onto a good thing, make it bigger, heavier and slower."

    Duh, if you'd bother to check. the newest Rav4s are the fastest yet. The 4 cylinder is as fast as the V6 Escape and the V6 Rav4 can smoke some "muscle" cars. Quit drinking and posting.....

  Hyundai cars dont compare to the quality of Toyota... Hyundai breaks too easily while Toyotas are much more durable..
