Back in 1989, the Toyota RAV Four small concept car premiered at the Tokyo Motor Show. And already in 1994, a small all-wheel-drive Toyota Fun Cruiser station wagon was demonstrated to the general public at a motor show in Geneva. Externally, the cars were slightly similar to each other. However, the idea of creating a compact all-wheel-drive car for outdoor activities, embedded in the concept of the RAV Four, found its embodiment in the almost serial Fun Cruiser. Sales of the new model, called the Toyota Rav4, began in Japan in May 1994.
