DESCRIPTION

The 2GR-FE engine on the ’06 RAV4 is a newly developed, V6 3.5-liter, 24-valve DOHC engine. This engine
uses the Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system, DIS (Direct Ignition System), ACIS
(Acoustic Control Induction System), and ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent). These
control functions achieve improved engine performance, fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions.
