    Complete Guide to Toyota RAV4

    The 2019 Toyota RAV4 range is the first from the brand to combine the practicality of an SUV with a broad range of hybrid models - in fact, of the 11 variants in the RAV4 2019 line-up, six of them are hybrid.

    The hybrid powertrain used sets a new benchmark for petrol efficiency in the mid-sized SUV segment, and yet it doesn’t run short on grunt - based on the engine specs.

    The hybrid range is powered by a 2.5-litre petrol-electric drivetrain that teams a four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine (with 131kW and 221Nm) to an 88kW/202Nm electric motor. The total combined power output is 160kW for the 2WD. The figure jumps to 163kW for the AWD, which gets an additional on-demand 40kW/121Nm electric motor at the rear axle. As is Toyota’s way, there’s no combined torque figure. All hybrid models run a CVT automatic transmission as standard.
