Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid

The Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid takes its place at the forefront of the RAV4 lineup, standing tall as the flagship of Toyota’s hybrid range. It represents an unbeatable combination of power, environmental efficiency, and modern versatility. Toyota’s expertise in hybrid technology truly shines in this model, producing a vehicle that performs impressively in terms of both low emissions and fuel economy. With its striking 22g/km CO2 emissions and a fuel economy of 282.5mpg (WLTP combined cycle), the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid is a compelling choice for those looking to make their drives more sustainable without sacrificing power.

The RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid was crafted for versatility and a modern driving experience. It operates as an authentic electric vehicle by default, allowing for EV-only mode with a range of up to 46 miles in urban driving on a full battery charge. This range comfortably exceeds the average European daily commute and can hit speeds of up to 84 mph (where permitted) without intervention from the hybrid powertrain. If more power is needed, the highly efficient 2.5-litre hybrid engine steps in seamlessly to provide an effortless driving experience. With a full charge achievable in just 2.5 hours using a 230V/32A connection, convenience is a priority—all accessible through the Toyota MyT app, which allows owners to schedule battery charging and remotely operate the air conditioning system.

The RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid not only boasts a powerful and efficient powertrain, but it also incorporates all the qualities that have made the fifth-generation RAV4 a beloved model. The Toyota GA-K vehicle platform ensures that this SUV maintains a low centre of gravity and high body rigidity, contributing to a confident and stable driving experience. AWD-i, Toyota’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system, comes as standard, ensuring stability and performance even in slippery or challenging terrains.

At the heart of the RAV4 Plug-In is Toyota’s hybrid engineering expertise, which combines dual DNA: a vehicle with impressive electric capabilities paired with efficient hybrid power. The result is the most powerful RAV4 yet, with a maximum output of 302bhp, enabling a 0-62 mph acceleration in just 6.0 seconds. With its EV mode, drivers can experience the sensation of piloting a 2.0-litre petrol vehicle while also benefiting from the sustainability of electric driving.

The RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid also stands out in terms of cabin comfort and convenience. The spacious interior offers sport seats and high-quality finishes, along with plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike. The GA-K platform allows for a low hip point for the driver, enhancing the sense of connection to the vehicle while wide-opening rear doors make it easy to access the back seats. The vehicle’s tech-savvy interior comes equipped with the latest in connectivity and comfort—including a 10.5-inch touchscreen, smartphone integration, heated seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat, ensuring both driver and passenger satisfaction.

The Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid is a culmination of power, efficiency, and modern features, bringing together the best of electric and hybrid capabilities. It’s not just an SUV—it’s a versatile companion, ready for any journey and suited for any adventure.
