When you have something that works, it’s a smart move to continue to use it. The new RAV4 Hybrid is now the eighth hybrid in the Toyota lineup. This vehicle offers the space and versatility of a mid-size SUV with the efficiency and dependability of a hybrid. Whether you opt for the XLE or Limited models, you’ll certainly be impressed with everything this vehicle has to offer.
Better Hybrid Powertrain
The new RAV4 Hybrid received a powertrain upgrade, and drivers will enjoy better handling and more power. This vehicle includes Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive to ensure it seamlessly maneuvers on the road while offering the best efficiency. The 2.5L Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine and high-torque electric motor delivers 194 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque. If that’s not enough to impress, it can also go from 0 to 60 in 8.1 seconds. Drivers also have the ability to select between EV and ECO mode for better fuel economy.

This vehicle will also offer three new exterior color options, LED taillights, and Hi-Lo headlights to round out its new style.
