Sport Utility Vehicles are all gas guzzlers, right? Well, not the Toyota RAV4. Sized smack in the middle of the compact SUV segment, it produces class-leading fuel economy figures, and that’s counting the diesel-fed Honda CR-V. How’s that possible? In a flash of brilliance, the entire RAV4 is now a hybrid. Though you still fill it up with gasoline like Petron XCS in the usual way, there’s an electric motor to share the effort and cut fuel consumption.
With a strong electric motor that produces about 120 horsepower, it can propel itself at low speeds without switching the combustion engine on. It also does the same thing when maintaining speed on the highway. And thanks to a read out that displays the total time the RAV4 spends on electric propulsion, you’d be surprised that it can do so 60 to 70 percent of the time.
When it comes to looks, Toyota has gotten it right. Though it was launched way back in 2019, it still looks great. The strong and express design works well, particularly when viewed from the front. And while it keeps the same basic two-box design as its predecessors, the proportions are perfect. Along with its shift to hybrid power, it’s also received minor tweaks to its headlights and 18-inch wheels.
