DBz1Di. Since its launch as the worldâs original recreational/lifestyle SUV in 1994, the RAV4 has consistently evolved to meet the changing needs and preferences of customers, with quality, style, performance and versatility that have secured its position as one of the worldâs best-selling vehicles. Building on RAV4âs success as a pioneer of hybrid power among SUVs, Toyota is now ready to extend the benefits of the technology with the introduction of the new RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, a new flagship vehicle for its hybrid line-up that promises to be not only more powerful but also more emissions and fuel-efficient than any other in its class. This first plug-in hybrid-electric version of the RAV4 draws on more than 20 years of Toyota leadership in hybrid powertrain technology. It will sit at the pinnacle of the fifth generation RAV4 range, a model that has reaffirmed its historic status as one of Europeâs most popular SUVs with more than 130,000 customer orders since its launch early in 2019, including more than 115,000 hybrids (Western Europe). The RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid will offer customers a best-of-both-worlds solution. It features Toyotaâs latest hybrid-electric vehicle technology, with higher power and better driving dynamics, and also has a genuine pure electric EV driving capability, free from concerns about driving range or the need to stop to recharge the battery. Performance and efficiency With the experience of developing two generations of its Prius Plug-in Hybrid model, Toyota is well-equipped to produce an effective new powertrain for the RAV4. With full system output of 306 DIN hp/225 kW*, it has the potential to deliver acceleration from rest to 100 km/h in just seconds*, outperforming any of its conventionally powered rivals. Moreover, it is also on course to deliver best-in-class CO2 emissions and fuel economy: Toyotaâs pre-homologation, WLTP-standard data indicates CO2 output of less than 29 g/km*. These levels are unmatched by any current D-segment plug-in hybrid AWD SUV. The new RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is constructed on Toyotaâs GA-K platform, with added dynamic benefits achieved by locating the hybrid battery beneath the floor. It is also equipped as standard with the Toyotaâs AWD-i intelligent electric all-wheel drive system. Toyota has harnessed the boost in performance electric power can deliver to achieve a significant increase in output compared to the standard RAV4 Hybrid. It has developed a new, high-capacity lithium-ion battery and added an enhanced boost converter to the hybrid systemâs power control unit. The Hybrid Dynamic Force petrol engine is based on the unit featured in the regular RAV4 Hybrid, with improvements to meet the performance requirements of the plug-in hybrid system. The result is not just rapid off-the-line acceleration: the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid has a greater driving range in electric EV mode, with zero petrol consumption and exhaust emissions. With four driving modes available, the driver can switch seamlessly from hybrid to pure EV driving. This new EV mode enables the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid to cover more than 65 km* on electric power alone (battery charge and driving conditions permitting), further than any competitor plug-in hybrid SUV and beyond the 50 km average European daily commuting distance. Moreover, speeds up to 135 km/h can be reached without any intervention of the internal combustion engine, even under full acceleration. Intelligent hybrid battery packaging The compact dimensions of the lithium-ion battery allow it to be contained entirely beneath the vehicle floor. With minimal intrusion in the load space, cargo capacity is a generous 520 litres. The batteryâs location low in the vehicle also helps give the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid a low centre of gravity, enhancing handling stability and ride comfort. High-efficiency heat pump air conditioning In its scrutiny of every detail that can contribute to the overall efficient performance of the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, Toyota adopted the heat pump air conditioning system it introduced as a world-first in the current, second generation Prius Plug-in Hybrid, adapting it specifically for use in the new SUV with a hot water circuit â the same as that used in the RAV4 Hybrid. In addition, the battery is cooled by the refrigerant of the air conditioning system. This system is far more efficient than engine heating or high-powered electric heaters, absorbing heat from the air outside the vehicle to warm the cabin. Refined Sport design Styling details for the exterior and the cabin demonstrate a more Refined Sport look for the mid-size SUV. At the front there is a dark plating for the dedicated grille mesh and frame and headlight extensions, together with a new metallic finish on the lower bumper moulding that emphasises the width and strength of the vehicleâs stance. New 18 and 19-inch wheel designs combine contrasting bright machined and grey or black finishes, while at the rear there is a metal-like finish for the garnish beneath the screen and black plating for the under-run. In the cabin the focus is on new upholstery designs with a sporty feel, with ribbed patterns with contrast red detailing. Quilted black leather seats will also be available with a striking red ribbon detail. The centre console features a nine-inch multimedia touchscreen display â the largest in any RAV4 model â for clear and easy control of the carâs entertainment, information and connectivity functions. Premium equipment specifications Equipment specifications reflect the RAV4 Plug-in Hybridâs flagship status. According to grade, features and options will include 19-inch alloy wheels, heated front and rear seats, a 230 V power outlet in the cabin, a bi-tone exterior paint finish, power tailgate with hands-free kick sensor, panoramic roof, head-up display, nine-inch display audio system and the latest Toyota multimedia package with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Sales schedule The new RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid will be introduced during the second half of 2020, with on-sale dates to be determined according to country/market. * Provisional figures subject to final homologation

The verdict: Toyota serves up adventure, efficiency and safety with the 2019 RAV4, but a side of rowdy road manners spoils the sauce. Versus the competition: Though itâs solidly improved and offers a near-class-leading list of standard safety goodies, the new RAV4 lacks the comfortable ride of some competitors and the spirited road manners of others. The Toyota RAV4 has a lot of fans â more than 400,000 people in the bought one last year alone â but Iâve never been one of them; Iâve always been underwhelmed by its slow, loud road manners, clunky multimedia system and chintzy interior. A redesign for 2019, however, has brought me closer to understanding what all the fuss is about. On the outside, the fifth generation of the compact SUV trades its previous crossover-like curves for the beefed-up face and aggressive shoulders of Toyotaâs larger, trucky SUVs, like the 4Runner. Inside, thereâs an updated multimedia system, upgraded materials, and added tech and safety features. Compare it with the 2018 model. The compact SUV class is packed, and the RAV4 has some solid contenders, including the Honda CR-V and my favorites, the Nissan Rogue and Mazda CX-5. See them compared. Driving Differences The standout is the RAV4 Hybrid. It delivers utility, economy and the most comfortable driving experience. The hybrid pairs a inline-four-cylinder engine with electric motors, a nickel-metal-hydride battery pack and a continuously variable automatic transmission thatâs good for 219 horsepower total. Off the line, pep is brisk and linear, and the CVT does an adequate job of delivering more â though when pushed on hill climbs, the powertrain can get loud. The brakes are a high point, with a natural, responsive feel often missing from hybrid braking systems. Fuel economy is one, too: Toyota estimates fuel economy of 41/37/39 mpg city/highway/combined, up significantly from the outgoing hybridâs 34/30/32 mpg EPA rating. All-wheel drive is again standard on hybrid models, which come in LE, XLE, XSE HV and Limited trims. Gas-powered models are available in LE, XLE, XLE Premium, Adventure and Limited trims. They come standard with the engine, paired this time with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Itâs good for 203 hp â slightly less than the hybrid, and it feels like it. While not slow, it lacks the hybridâs zippiness. The eight-speed automatic shifts smoothly, but timing is off and often awkward; itâs too quick to upshift out of lower gears and holds higher gears too long when a downshift would make for more responsive acceleration. Like the outgoing model, the new RAV4âs road manners annoyed. Tire, wind and engine noise are intrusive â arguably the worst in the class â and the gas versionâs ride is firmer and bouncier than in the hybrid, which is more composed and controlled. The Limited trim I tested had 19-inch wheels versus the hybridâs 17s (and thus shorter, less compliant tires), which likely contributed to the extra hop. The gas RAV4 does make strides in fuel economy, however. Toyota estimates base models will get 26/34/29 mpg with front-wheel drive, 26/33/29 mpg with AWD. This is better than the outgoing FWD modelâs 23/29/25 mpg rating and brings the RAV4 in line with base FWD versions of the CR-V (26/32/28) and Rogue (26/33/29). Itâs also a fair amount better than the CX-5 (25/31/28). The biggest surprise was the Adventure model, which I mocked when it debuted last year, saying it offered nothing apart from slightly more adventurous styling and a big price hike. Like the 2018 version, the new Adventure model wears rugged body cladding and gets a few new exclusive colors, but the biggest change is that it makes good on its name with a robust new AWD system. The New Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive system is several steps above the RAV4âs regular AWD system in terms of capability. It can send up to 50 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels as needed for more traction, and it can also direct power to the left and right rear wheels to boost grip when slippage is detected. Thereâs also a multiterrain selector that optimizes the AWD system for mud, dirt, rocks, sand or snow. The RAV4 owners I know are exclusively pavement drivers, but should the urge to wander off the beaten path strike, the Adventure model lives up to its name. I drove it on dirt, and it very capably mastered steep hill climbs, ruts and moguls. The new AWD system is standard on both Adventure and Limited trims. A Step Up Inside The old cabinâs bland look and budget materials have been replaced with a sharper design and more padding. The Limited model I tested had ample cush in knee and elbow touch points, as well as handsome, two-tone imitation-leather seats and surfaces. The hybrid model had less padding for elbows, but its interior still stood out, with pops of chrome trim and an interesting seat upholstery pattern. Toyota cranked the style dial to 11 on the Adventure model, jazzing up its gray and brown color palette with pops of orange on the seats, doors and dash. Space is good inside, too. At 5 feet, 6 inches tall, I was comfortable in the backseat with the driverâs seat where Iâd normally have it. By the numbers, the new model offers slightly more rear legroom than the outgoing one, with inches. That rivals the Rogue ( but is less than the CX-5 ( and CR-V ( Caregivers with kids in car seats will likely have enough room for two car seats, and installation should be eased by the RAV4âs exposed lower Latch anchors. Cargo room is a mixed bag. In front, thereâs a handy storage shelf nestled into the dashboard, along with a decent-size center console box and a small bin ahead of the shifter. Also useful is a reversible cargo floor in back; one side is carpeted, but you can flip it over for an easy-clean plastic side. In terms of room in back, however, cargo space is down in the gas-powered version. The new RAV4 offers cubic feet of space, almost a cubic foot less than the outgoing model and less than the CR-V ( and Rogue ( The CX-5 offers even less, however, with cubic feet. The hybrid version sees an increase in cargo room compared with the old hybrid thanks to a skinnier battery pack; it now matches the non-hybrid versionâs space. (Almost) Modern Multimedia Attention to detail continues with the RAV4âs new multimedia system, Entune which features a standard 7-inch touchscreen that includes Amazon Alexa connectivity and Apple CarPlay. Available upgrades include an 8-inch display, satellite radio and navigation, but whatâs missing is Android Auto compatibility. Toyota says it still has work to do to ensure seamless integration with the system but promises it will come eventually; many other compact SUVs already offer it. The high-mounted tablet-style system is a big win with its clear, responsive screen and easy-access tuning and volume knobs. Those dials win the best knob award (which I just made up); they have a solid, quality heft and are ringed with grippy rubber, making them easy to grasp. Other available goodies that bring the cabin up to date include Wi-Fi hot spot capability, heated and ventilated front seats, a foot-activated liftgate, a camera-based rearview mirror, up to five USB ports, a Qi wireless charging pad for compatible mobile devices, and an 11-speaker, 800-watt JBL premium audio system. Despite finding some other camera-based rearview mirror systems unnatural, I like the RAV4âs. Itâs highly customizable, so you can change the view angle up or down, shift right or left, and zoom in and out. Added Safety All RAV4s come with Toyotaâs Safety Sense system, which includes a forward collision warning system with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking, full-speed dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure warning with steering assist, automatic high beams, lane detection and lane keep assist (which Toyota calls Lane Tracing Assist). Thereâs also a new road sign assist system that identifies road signs and can warn the driver with alerts depending on sign type. Options include blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, a 360-degree camera system, parking sensors and rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking. That list is long, but the Rogueâs is longer, including standard blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. The
Overview Toyota hybrids have come a long way since the original Prius, and that growth is most apparent in the 2022 RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid compact SUVs. These electrified utes deliver the same practicality and roominess of a standard RAV4 but add one of two available fuel-sipping powertrains. Both are quicker than the nonhybrid RAV4ââŹâespecially the Prime, which even beat the four-cylinder variant of Toyota's Supra sports car in our 5-to-60-mph rolling start acceleration test. The RAV4's uninvolving handling is outdone by rivals such as hybrid versions of the Honda CR-V and the Hyundai Tucson, and its high starting price of around $30,000 doesn't include much more than basic features. Still, the RAV4 Hybrid is a well-rounded package with plenty of value, so we put it on our 2022 Editors' Choice This Vehicle RanksWhat's New for 2022?A new mid-range SE trim joins the RAV4 Hybrid lineup for 2022 and slots in between the XLE Premium and XSE models. It comes modestly equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system, cloth seats, and a six-speaker stereo, but it can be optioned with the Convenience package which adds a sunroof, a power rear liftgate, and a larger screen. All but the base LE trim receive new, more aggressively styled headlamps while a new wheel design is offered on the XLE Premium, Limited, and XSE models. Cavalry Blue joins the palette of available and Which One to Buy If you can qualify for the $7500 electric-vehicle tax credit, the RAV4 Prime is a no-brainer, as the government's financial incentive lowers its price substantiallyââŹâand you get a RAV4 with more power and significant electric-only driving range. Of the two Prime models, the XSE is packed with more standard features, including 19-inch wheels, a sunroof, and an infotainment system with a larger display. If you don't qualify for the tax credit, we'd recommend the XLE Hybrid, which offers more standard equipment than the base LE without suffering much of an uptick in price. Buyers of the XLE will enjoy conveniences such as passive keyless entry, a power-adjustable driver's seat, LED projector headlamps with automatic high-beams, heated exterior mirrors, blind-spot monitoring, and front fog Transmission, and PerformanceThe RAV4 Hybrid is powered by a four-cylinder engine that's assisted by two electric motors for a combined output of 219 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standardââŹâone of the electric motors powers the rear wheels and the second motor and the gasoline engine drive the frontsââŹâas is a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Not only is the RAV4 Hybrid more efficient than the unelectrified model, it's also quicker. It snapped off a 60-mph time in our hands while the gas-only model needed seconds to perform the same task. Drivers will feel that pep, too, particularly around town, where the electric motor's gratifyingly immediate power delivery gives it an extra shove when taking off from a stop. If you want even more performance, the Prime model is happy to oblige. In our testing, the RAV4 Prime skipped to 60 mph in just seconds. Like the standard RAV4, the hybrid and Prime models' handling is competent and its ride is comfortable, but don't expect any cornering heroics Charging, and Battery LifeThe plug-in hybrid RAV4 Prime stores its electrons in an battery pack, and the EPA rates its electric-only driving range at 42 miles. In our testing, we managed to drive for 32 miles on electricity alone, but that was on the highway; we would expect longer driving range in the city. A onboard charger is standard and a charger is optional on the Prime XSE; it decreases charging time to just hours on a 240-volt outlet. If only a 120-volt outlet is available, expect charging times to be about 12 Economy and Real-World MPGWhen compared with a gas-powered all-wheel-drive RAV4, the hybrid model is far more efficient. The EPA estimates it'll achieve 41 mpg city, 38 mpg highway, and 40 mpg combined, beating the regular RAV4 by 14 mpg, 5 mpg, and 11 mpg, respectively. When we tested the RAV4 Hybrid on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy route, it delivered 37 mpg, 1 mpg less than its EPA rating. The Prime earns an EPA combined rating of 94 MPGe, and it delivered 73 MPGe during our highway fuel economy test. For more information about the RAV4 Hybrid's fuel economy, visit the EPA's Comfort, and CargoThe RAV4 Hybrid's cabin is well built and nicely outfitted but prioritizes practicality over style. With a plethora of cubbies and bins to choose from, you'll have ample space to stash small cargo, and all of the buttons and controls are easy to find and operate. Toyota throws in plenty of niceties at the base level, such as dual-zone automatic climate control, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel, and a height-adjustable false floor in the cargo area. Going up the trim-level ladder brings luxury features such as heated front and rear seats, ambient interior lighting, and upgraded faux-leather upholstery that Toyota calls SofTex. The RAV4 Hybrid offers identical cargo and passenger space as the regular RAV4, and in our testing, we managed to fit 10 carry-on suitcases behind the second row and 22 with the rear seat and ConnectivityLE and XLE models come with a infotainment display sprouting from its dashboard while XSE and Limited models provide an screen. The larger display can be had on the XLE model as part of the Audio Plus package. RAV4 Prime models come with either an or display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration as well as an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot are all standard. Navigation and an 11-speaker JBL stereo system are available on the XSE and standard on the Limited. Otherwise, you'll get a six-speaker and Driver-Assistance FeaturesToyota has been an aggressive adopter of driver-assistance features and offers many of them standard across the RAV4 lineup. For more information about the RAV4 Hybrid's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist Standard adaptive cruise controlWarranty and Maintenance CoverageAll RAV4s come with a comprehensive warranty that matches those provided by rivals Honda and Nissan, but electrified models come with a lengthy protection plan for their hybrid components.
