    1994 was the first model year for the Rav4. It was sold in Japan & the UK only,  so there were no LHD production vehicles.  I was in Tokyo, and was surprised how popular the vehicle became immediately.  People were paying big premiums for used Rav4s.The 1st sales in the US were in ’96, I think. If you have a LHD ’94 or ’95, that is a genuinely rare vehicle. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
