The new facelifted Toyota RAV4 is set to debut in a few days at the 2012 L.A. Auto Show and images showing the new vehicle uncovered just leaked.

The new styling revealed in the photos brings the crossover in line with the rest of Toyota’s lineup. Perhaps the most striking revelation, Toyota seems to have axed the car’s optional third-row seat.

Rumors also suggest that the RAV4 may lose its V6 option, and use only a selection of inline-four cylinder engines. A hybrid variant is also likely in the works.

The RAV4 will make its official debut this Thursday at the 2012 L.A. Auto Show.
