The 2007 Toyota RAV4 uses automatic transmissions only, with the gear count tied to the engine: a 4-speed automatic for the 2.4-liter four-cylinder, and a 5-speed automatic for the 3.5-liter V6. There was no manual transmission option for US-market models that year.
As part of Toyota’s third-generation RAV4 lineup (2006–2012), transmission choices were determined by the engine and drivetrain configuration. Below is a concise breakdown of the two primary configurations used in 2007 models.
Transmission options by engine
The following outlines the two main transmission configurations used in 2007 RAV4 models.
- 2.4L four-cylinder engine (2AZ-FE) — 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive; available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
- 3.5L V6 engine (2GR-FE) — 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive; available with FWD or AWD depending on trim and options.
In all cases, these transmissions were paired with either FWD or AWD layouts depending on the chosen trim. No manual gearbox was offered in the 2007 RAV4 lineup.
Notes on market variations
While the above describes the US-market 2007 RAV4, some international markets could have had variations in options. For the vast majority of buyers in 2007, the two automatic transmissions described were the standard choices tied to engine type.
Summary
The 2007 Toyota RAV4 offered two automatic transmissions: a 4-speed automatic with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a 5-speed automatic with the 3.5-liter V6. Either transmission could be paired with FWD or AWD, and there was no manual transmission option in that model year.
