Reviews SummaryThe sixth-generation Toyota RAV4 now comes with more choice, including three distinct design themes, three powertrain and drivetrain options, and seven trim levels. It has a hybrid drivetrain as standard, offering a claimed 44 mpg combined, along with more standard features, a quicker operating system, and improvements across the board to bolster its bestselling position. Verdict: The good gets better, but the RAV4's lineup is confusing enough to need a Venn diagram. | |
Reviews SummaryPlug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are perfect transition models for people who want to try an electric car but are not ready to completely give up the convenience of a gasoline engine. Enter the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime, a PHEV with an estimated 42 miles of electric range and a total estimate of almost 600 miles of travel between stops for electricity or gasoline. The RAV4 Prime arrived for the 2021 model year and there are no major changes for 2022. | |
