The Toyota hybrid RAV4 range now includes a hybrid model and a very recent hybrid rechargeable model as well, the RAV4 Prime

The 2021 hybrid RAV4 is also available in no less than 4 versions. This means that consumers can choose their vehicle according to their budget and needs, which is a rare quality in the hybrid vehicle category. 

Moreover, the 2022 hybrid RAV4 will be adding a 5th version: an SE, for all XSE fans who find the latter too expensive. The SE will be sporty, with radiator grille and black accents, but without the luxury equipment that makes prices climb. The Toyota hybrid offers a vast array of choices to its consumers, making sure everyone will be pleased. 

Under the hybrid RAV4 hood, you will find a 2.5 L 4- cylinder engine combined with two electric motors, one in the front and one at the back, for a generous total of 219 horsepower. 

Equipped with all-wheel drive, it is ready for any type of road and, most of all, for snow and ice which are inevitable at this time of year. Front heated seats, which come standard, will also keep you warm. 

Its power and traction do not put a toll on fuel consumption numbers, quite the contrary: the Toyota hybrid SUV consumes, in average, 6.0 L/100km of fuel. So, as you can see, fuel economy is great and yet, this hybrid vehicle does not take anything away from its SUV capacities.

Why is the Toyota hybrid RAV4 so successful?

The hybrid model’s popularity is intrinsically linked to the RAV4’s success, a name everyone has come to associate with an excellent and reliable SUV. The RAV4 itself is celebrating its 25 years and has proven that it is irreproachable and dependable, as is true for all Toyota vehicles in general. 

For many years now the RAV4 has been at the top of the sales list, right under the F-150 truck. Its SUV qualities are undeniable: powerful, with generous interior space, efficient traction and several amenities. The hybrid RAV4 embodies all of these strengths and more: that is why it is an interesting option for drivers!

When consumers opt for an electric vehicle, reliability is even more important and Toyota has proven time and time again that its vehicles are incredibly dependable. A little over two years ago, the Japanese manufacturer announced that it was extending battery warranties to 10 years instead of 8. Consumers trust Toyota, and with reason!

Moreover, the affordable aspect of hybrid models is also what helps make them so successful. The price range for the regular hybrid model is close to prices for its fuel version and, whatever difference is left, it is quickly absorbed by the incredible fuel economy it offers. 

This is also one of the reasons why, from the moment it was advertised, the RAV4 Prime has met with astounding success. Prices are below the $ 45 000 range and it is equipped with an 18.1 kWh battery. This data is not trivial: it gives it access to government subsidies, making its price drop a whopping $ 13 000!

Let’s talk about the RAV4 Prime. This SUV, which is offered in two versions, is incredibly powerful and offers 302 horsepower. Moreover, electric autonomy reaches 63 km and total autonomy, close to 900 km! Even more powerful, it can also tow charges for up to 2 500 pounds. 

If you wish to save a substantial amount on fuel, this is the ideal SUV, since it can function in 100% electric mode, hybrid mode or fuel mode. Its consumption will vary depending on how you choose to use it!
