2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime: A Plug-In Hybrid SUV That Is The Best Of The Best

A top-rated SUV is the Toyota RAV4 Prime, the first plug-in hybrid from Toyota. Toyota has some of the best PHEV tech and has produced some of the best vehicles, like the Prius Prime and the RAV4 Prime. The RAV4 Prime has an awesome powertrain system, and it comes in strong as a competitor for the smaller SUV category with the RAV4. The RAV4 also has a great fuel economy, and it includes an electric motor to improve its power. 

An electric motor inside the Toyota RAV4 Prime will produce more power and allow the car to travel further without dealing with gas. Another great perk of this vehicle is that it gives customers who want a more eco-friendly car but need more time to commit to an all-electric vehicle fully. This smaller in size SUV still produces an incredible amount of power and gets 302 horsepower. 

The electric motors are to thank for this small plug-in SUV that produces so much power and can accomplish 94 MPGe. The RAV4 Prime can travel up to 600 miles using its gas engine, electric motors, and battery. The starting price of the 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime is $42,340 MSRP, and it’s worth every penny because people call this vehicle one of the best-selling small plug-in hybrid SUVs out there. 

More Info On The RAV4 Prime

The RAV4 Prime gets around 42 miles on a single charge alone, and it is the only PHEV that reaches more than 36 miles of range. It has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with dual electric motors and a battery pack that has 288 lb-ft of torque. It can advance from 0 to 60 mph in around 5.7 seconds and is the second fastest Toyota model in the lineup, but the Toyota GR Supra comes in as number one. 

The SUV is fast and very comfortable, with its roomy interior, and the back seats are even spacious enough for adults without feeling squished. More interior features include an 8.0-inch infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Standard all-wheel-drive (AWD) can tow up to 2,500 pounds. With more and more competitors adding similar cars to the SUV lineup, Toyota customers continue to stay loyal to this brand because some Toyota vehicles are just unbeatable. 

2023 RAV4 Woodland Edition

Toyota is releasing a new upgraded Woodland Edition for the RAV4 to the 2023 lineup. It’s exciting news that this hybrid model is getting a brand new Woodland Edition feature, and this new edition will be similar to the Sienna minivan. The RAV4 Woodland Edition, like the TRD Off-Road model, offers Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires and a TRD suspension. The Woodland Edition makes the hybrid vehicle look more daring with its bronze wheels, wide roof rack, exhaust tips, black badges, and more.

The car’s interior has rubber floor mats decorated with the Woodland Edition label and a 120-volt outlet in the cargo space. Exterior colors include black, blue, and white, and with RAV4’s all-wheel-drive hybrid drivetrain, a 2.5-liter inline-four plus two electric motors make 219 hp. All Toyota RAV4 vehicles have a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen and a 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster. There is a newly optional 10.5-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
