In addition to significantly boosting fuel economy, they also address our biggest complaints about the regular RAV4’s driving experience by adding electric assist for a more refined driving experience. What we’ve gravitated toward, however, are the electrified versions, the RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid (EPA-estimated 42-mile electric-only range).
