    Description:

    The Toyota RAV4 Prime is the plug-in hybrid variant of Toyota’s sixth-generation RAV4 lineup. For 2026, the Toyota RAV4 Prime adopts an all-electrified approach, combining a higher electric range, increased power, and updated technology. Its 2.5-litre engine, dual electric motors, and standard all-wheel drive deliver about 80 km of electric range, with Level 2 charging taking roughly three hours.

    Range and Battery of the Toyota RAV4 Prime :

    • 22.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, larger and more energy-dense than before.

    • Electric-only driving range up to 80 km (50 mi) depending on trim.

    • Combined driving range approaches 930-1,000 km with full battery and fuel tank.

    • Plug-in hybrid system pairs a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-4 with three electric motors.

    • Combined system output reaches 324 hp (242 kW), an increase over the previous generation.

    • Standard electric all-wheel drive uses a dedicated rear electric motor (no mechanical driveshaft).

    • Electronic CVT (e-CVT) manages power delivery without traditional gear shifts.

    • 0–100 km/h acceleration observed in testing is around 5.6 seconds, placing it among the quicker compact SUVs.
