The Toyota RAV4 has a bulletproof reputation in its segment. And the range is more diverse than ever, with basic FWD models that are very efficient and affordable, up to high-end models that are carefully equipped with enhanced technologies. The RAV4 also offers a hybrid variant that offers all the advantages and conveniences you love in the traditional RAV4, but with a powertrain that is both frugal and powerful. Why should you choose the hybrid version? Here are some advantages.
Even if all RAV4s are efficient, the hybrid variant goes the distance. Its powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a lithium-ion battery and a pair of electric motors. Not only does this give the RAV4 Hybrid standard all-wheel drive, but it also deploys plenty of performance for all situations. With 219 horsepower and 152 lb-ft of torque, the RAV4 Hybrid isn’t one of those slow hybrids.
When you need to tow, the Toyota RAV4 offers a towing capacity of 1,750 pounds.
But the biggest advantage with the hybrid version of the RAV4 is undoubtedly its fuel efficiency rating. With 5.8 litres per 100 km in the city and 6.3 litres per 100 km on the highway, the Toyota RAV4 can haul your family everywhere while keeping the costs down.
With all the seats occupied, the RAV4 hybrid offers 1,059 litres of cargo capacity behind the tailgate. If you fold down the rear seats, it deploys 1,850 litres of space to transport luggage, building materials or even furniture.
Hybrid RAV4s all have extensive standard technologies for entertaining occupants while keeping them safe, the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto suites and the Toyota Safety Sense system are standard on all versions. There are also plenty of available features on upper trims, like the 8-inch touch screen, wireless charging and the foot-activated power tailgate, among other high-end amenities.
Some hybrids are overpriced compared to their gas-powered siblings. Not at Toyota. The Toyota RAV4 hybrid is available starting at $ 34,600. By comparison, an AWD gasoline RAV4 starts at $ 32,529.
