Based on the mid-range XT3 version of the top-selling SUV, the special edition only comes with a 2.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine. You also get 17-inch alloys, aluminium sidebars, chrome rear light protectors and unique badging.
While the shape of the RAV4 doesn't naturally lend itself to a luxury make-over, the Granite's upgrades will appeal to those who want to stand out.
Move inside, and the Toyota's practical cabin has been left largely un-touched. However, it gains aluminium scuff plates and - more importantly - a six-CD autochanger. At £20,995, the newcomer is £1,250 more than the equivalent XT3. Given that the CD unit is a £305.95 option on other models, buyers are effectively paying £944.05 for the cosmetic tweaks. If you like the look of this Granite's surfaces, that's the price you'll have to pay.
