2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited AWD SUV

In 2016, Toyota (finally) decided to put a hybrid powertrain into the RAV4, its best-selling vehicle and the industry’s best-selling crossover, which made a very good vehicle even better. Propulsion for the RAV4 Hybrid comes from a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors that produce a total of 219 hp. Gas-electric transitions are seamless, and the hybrid powertrain provides better acceleration and much better EPA fuel-economy estimates (40 mpg in combined driving) than the standard gasolinepowered RAV4 (30 mpg). All-wheel drive is standard on all RAV4s. The RAV4’s cabin offers comfort for 4 adults in 2 rows of seats. With the rear seat backs folded down, there’s room for 70 cubic feet of stuff - one of the biggest compact-crossover cargo holds on the market. Standard LED headlights and a generous number of advanced safety features are a plus. There are also a few things to ding the RAV4 for: the engine can be rough and noisy, lots of wind and road noise get into the cabin, and the interior design and infotainment system feel dated.
