The plug-in hybrid Toyota RAV4 has a lot going for it over the regular model, including significantly more power and far greater fuel economy. However, this all comes at a cost that buyers in the compact crossover segment may not be willing to pay. But once you start looking at it holistically, you’ll find that you are getting your money’s worth.
Both of the available trims come well-stocked with tech, and ticking a few options doesn’t send the price rocketing, so you can have your cake and eat it. And, considering the vehicle’s 42-mile all-electric range, you can see significant savings if you only drive short distances around town between charging cycles. This process only takes 2.5 hours on a Level 2 charger. In review, the Toyota RAV4 Prime might not be the perfect fit for everyone, but considering that charging stations are becoming more common at businesses, it could be a smart investment for those not yet willing to commit to a full EV.
