Toyota RAV4 Hybrid EU-Version


The new RAV4 Hybrid marries dynamic styling, premium interior quality, ingenious packaging and versatility with a full hybrid powertrain offering customers improved driving feel for an even more a sophisticated driving experience.

The new RAV4 hybrid offers class-leading fuel consumption figures and remarkably low CO2 emissions, promoting significant taxation and Benefit-in-Kind savings. On top the RAV4 hybrid AWD offers the same benefits in combination with Toyota's ingenious E-Four electric motor-powered AWD system with increased traction and towing capacity.


Its full hybrid drive system combining a 2.5 litre Atkinson Cycle petrol engine with a powerful electric motor, the new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is available in both front-and all-wheel drive variants. The RAV4 Hybrid AWD has a second, rear mounted electric motor that offers increased traction and a 1,650 kg towing capacity without the added weight and complexity of a central prop shaft.

Developing total system power of 197 hp, the new RAV4 Hybrid marries a seamless, 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 8.7 seconds to class-leading fuel consumption of only 4.9 l/100 km and remarkably low, highly tax-efficient CO2 emissions as low as 115 g/km.

The new RAV4's full hybrid powertrain heads up a revised, fully Euro 6 compliant engine line-up for the 2015 model range.

A new 2.0 litre turbodiesel develops 143 hp and a substantial 320 Nm of torque, whilst targeting CO2 emissions of only 123 g/km. And an improved 2.0 litre petrol unit offered with a choice of manual or CVT transmissions now combines 151 hp and 195 Nm of torque with CO2 emissions from 149 g/km.


The system's seamless, E-CVT electric continuously variable transmission is controlled by Shift-by-Wire technology, using an electronic shift lever system.

Reinforcing the uniquely quiet, refined and sophisticated driving experience offered by Toyota's Hybrid technology, the new RAV4 further benefits from enhanced ride comfort and driving dynamics, a quieter cabin environment, stronger, more dynamic exterior design, improved interior sensory quality and functionality, and all the latest innovations in safety and advanced technology.

The Toyota Safety Sense system features a newly developed set of active safety technologies; a new Panoramic View Monitor displays a 360 degree, bird's-eye view of the vehicle's immediate surroundings to aid parking and slow speed manoeuvring; and the restyled interior benefits from the enhanced functionality of both a 4.2" multi-information screen set between the combi-meters and a 7", full-colour centre console screen incorporating the Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system.


The newly designed instrument binnacle of the RAV4 is equipped with a 4.2" colour TFT (Thin Film Transistor) multi-information screen. Controlled by the steering wheel switch gear, with the possibility to coordinate its display with that of the 7" full-colour centre console screen, the multi-information screen offers a wide variety of functions and displays.

These include the customisation of vehicle settings, trip computer information, Smart Stop & Start telemetry, a hybrid powertrain energy monitor, turn-by-turn navigation and real-time AWD vehicle posture and steering lock indication.
