The fifth-generation Toyota RAV4, on the market for barely a year, is going more places than it has ever gone before. The arrival of the first-ever RAV4 TRD Off-Road model was announced earlier this year, and this week, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Toyota debuts a new premium, fun-to-drive RAV4 performance model with an estimated 302-horsepower, advanced all-wheel drive, sport-tuned suspension and exclusive design features.
It just happens to also be the first-ever RAV4 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). And so, in addition to an ability to do 0-60 mph in a projected 5.8 seconds, which is the second quickest acceleration time in the Toyota lineup, it can drive an estimated 39 miles on battery alone on a single charge, which is the highest EV range of any PHEV SUV on the market. The RAV4 Prime also has a manufacturer-estimated 90 combined MPGe. Welcome to a new chapter of Toyota SUV performance.
The Toyota RAV4 Prime, a 2021 model that will arrive on the market in the summer of 2020, is not only the most powerful and fastest RAV4 ever built, it is also the most energy efficient.
The Toyota RAV4 Prime is largely inspired by the RV4 Hybrid, which is currently the most powerful and fuel-efficient model in the lineup, and also the best-selling hybrid vehicle in Canada, with sales up 97% over the previous year. With its exceptional performance and fuel efficiency, the RAV4 Prime reflects Toyota's leadership in hybrid technology for more than 20 years.
2019 Line-up
The 2019 RAV4 XSE Hybrid is currently available at Ile-Perrot Toyota and offers the perfect combination of sportiness and utility.
Standard on all RAV4 Hybrid models, the Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) works in sync with the 2.5-litre 4-cylinder Dynamic Force Engine for an impressive balance of energy efficiency and supreme power output. Performance-wise, XSE Hybrid is truly the “no compromise” grade thanks to its enhanced power and acceleration.
Come and see us at 2100 boulevard du Traversier Pincourt to test the RAV4 on the road.
