KONI 8745-1419R Special Active Front Right Strut for 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4 XA50

Vehicle Fitment

• 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4 (XA50) - LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, Woodland Edition (FWD and AWD, 2.5L I4, Front Right / Passenger Side)
• 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (XA50) - LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, SE (AWD, 2.5L Hybrid I4 + Electric Motors, Front Right / Passenger Side)
• 2020-present Suzuki Across SUV (XA50 platform) - all trims (AWD, 2.5L Plug-in Hybrid I4, Front Right / Passenger Side)

Fitment Notes

• Position: Front Right (Passenger Side) only - companion left/driver side strut is KONI 8745-1419L; these must be installed as a matched pair
• Does NOT fit Toyota RAV4 TRD - TRD models use a raised-height suspension incompatible with this OEM-length strut
• Does NOT fit Toyota RAV4 Adventure - Adventure trim uses TRD-spec raised springs and shocks at an increased ride height
• Does NOT fit Toyota RAV4 Prime (PHEV) in North America - the RAV4 Prime uses a different front suspension configuration
• The Suzuki Across is the European-market rebadged version of the Toyota RAV4 PHEV and shares the same XA50 front suspension geometry
• The RAV4 XA50 generation was replaced by an all-new platform for the 2026 model year; this strut applies to 2019-2025 North American production only
• Recommended for use with OE (factory) springs - not compatible with aftermarket lowering springs or any raised suspension kit
• Sold as 1 strut - must be installed as a matched left and right front axle pair
• Companion front left strut: KONI 8745-1419L
• Companion rear shocks: KONI 8245-1431

Features

• KONI Special Active technology - uses KONI's latest generation of Frequency Selective Damping (FSD), automatically adjusting damping force in real time based on road surface frequency and driving inputs, without any electronics, wiring, or ECU interaction
• Controls large body motions including front-end dive under braking, cornering roll, and highway pitch with firm damping, while remaining soft and compliant over rapid, small-amplitude inputs such as expansion joints, tar strips, and coarse pavement
• Electronics-free adaptive damping - performs without any interface with the vehicle's electronics, making it a clean direct-fit installation fully compatible with the RAV4's factory systems
• Purpose-engineered for the RAV4 XA50 TNGA-K platform front suspension - matched to the platform's front MacPherson strut geometry and spring rates for standard (non-TRD/Adventure) configurations
• Direct OEM-length replacement - installs at factory ride height with no spacers, modifications, or alignment corrections beyond standard front strut replacement procedure
• Proven on over 10 million factory-equipped vehicles worldwide - KONI supplies active damping technology as OEM equipment to Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep, Fiat, Lamborghini, and Ferrari
• Compatible with FWD and AWD RAV4 variants, including all standard Hybrid trims across both drivetrain configurations
• Twin-tube, low pressure gas-charged construction - consistent, fade-resistant damping performance across all operating temperatures and road conditions
• Lifetime warranty - backed by KONI's standard lifetime limited warranty for the original purchaser

Product Description

The KONI 8745-1419R is the front right (passenger side) Special Active strut for the fifth-generation Toyota RAV4 (XA50, 2019-2025), covering all standard trims - LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, Woodland Edition, and all standard Hybrid configurations - in both FWD and AWD. It is the right-side companion to the 8745-1419L left/driver-side strut, and both must be installed as a matched front axle pair. The 8745 prefix distinguishes this as a front strut assembly (as opposed to the 8245-series rear shocks), and the R suffix designates the right/passenger side. Like the rear shock (8245-1431) covered separately, the 8745-1419R is not compatible with TRD or Adventure trims, which use a raised suspension setup, nor with the RAV4 Prime PHEV variant in North America. The XA50 generation ended with the 2025 model year, replaced by an all-new platform for 2026.

KONI's Special Active FSD technology continuously senses the frequency and amplitude of suspension inputs through a patented internal valve, adjusting damping force in real time without any electronics. Under slow, large-amplitude movements - front-end dive under braking, cornering roll, and highway pitch - the strut stiffens to maintain composure and steering accuracy. Under fast, small-amplitude inputs - road texture, expansion joints, and surface irregularities - it relaxes immediately to absorb the impact and preserve ride comfort. This dual behavior is achieved entirely hydraulically, requiring no wiring, sensor, or control module - making it a fully transparent upgrade that does not interact with or alter the RAV4's factory electronics. The technology is the same KONI actively supplies factory-fitted to over 10 million vehicles from manufacturers including Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Mercedes-Benz.

Installation is a direct OEM-length replacement at the front right strut mount, requiring no modifications or special alignment corrections beyond what is standard for a strut replacement. The 8745-1419R is sold as a single unit - the left/driver strut (8745-1419L) must be purchased separately to complete the front axle set. For a complete four-corner Special Active upgrade, the matching rear shocks are KONI 8245-1431. KONI specifies these struts for use with factory OE springs only; they are not intended for vehicles with aftermarket lowering springs, coilovers, or lifted suspension configurations.
