Plug into Versatility with the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid

Toyota has one of the most diverse vehicle offerings of any manufacturer. Looking for a fuel-efficient commuter car? It has that. Need a work-ready truck? You’re covered. In recent years, Toyota has also expanded its powertrains. The renowned RAV4 now offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain, offering drivers increased quickness and fuel efficiency in their compact adventure vehicle. Let’s explore the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.

Gain Plug-In Electric Efficiencies 

Like the hybrid RAV4, the PHEV version uses a 2.5L inline-four engine. However, the PHEV adds two powerful electric motors to the setup. The combined system produces 302 horsepower, making this version the most powerful RAV4 available. Drivers will notice the increased quickness, with a 0-60 mph time of only 5.5 seconds. Standard Electric On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD-i) maintains excellent traction in all weather conditions.

The 18.1-kWh battery is positioned underneath the floor and does not detract from interior space. Charging it using a Level 2 charger takes about 2.5 hours, while a standard 120V household outlet requires about 12 hours, which is ideal for overnight charging. The EV-only range is an impressive 42 miles, and the SUV’s fuel economy is miles ahead of any other RAV4 variant, with 38 MPG combined and 94 MPGe in electric-only mode.

Comfortable and Well-Adorned Cabin

The RAV4 PHEV has two trims, both of which come with well-padded, supportive seats upholstered in premium cloth (SE) or SofTex synthetic leather (XSE). Front-seat heating is standard in both, while ventilation comes in the XSE. Heated rear seats are also an available option. Ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control and rear-seat vents all contribute to a comfortable driving environment.

The cabin is spacious, accommodating five passengers and offering 41 inches of front legroom and 38 inches of rear legroom. Cargo space is also substantial, providing 33.5 cu.ft. behind the second row and 70 cu.ft. when the rear seats are folded flat. There’s also more room under the cargo floor.

Stay Connected and In Control With Tech

The SE trim gives drivers an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the XSE features a 10.5-inch display. Both come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Navigation is available through the subscription-based Cloud Navigation, which is continually updated via over-the-air updates.

Both models include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with EV-specific data such as range prediction and regenerative braking levels. Available features include a wireless charging pad, digital rearview mirror, Head-Up Display, and an 11-speaker JBL audio system with a subwoofer.
