Redesigned Toyota RAV4 for 2025 Now Known as a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
The much-anticipated 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is set to hit the market, offering two grades - the SE and the XSE. Let's delve into the features, specifications, and available options for this eco-friendly SUV.
Starting with the base SE grade, the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid comes equipped with standard features like heated front seats, Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. It boasts a manufacturer-estimated 42 miles of all-electric range, and with its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors, it delivers 302 net system horsepower, enabling it to reach 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. The RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid has a ground clearance of 8-inches and a rear cargo volume of 33.5 cubic feet, providing ample space for five passengers and their belongings.
For those seeking additional comfort and convenience, the XSE grade offers a host of premium features. It includes the Weather Package, which equips the vehicle with a heated leather-trimmed steering wheel, heated rear outboard seats, and rain-sensing wipers with wiper de-icer. The Weather and Moonroof Package takes this a step further, adding a power tilt/slide moonroof with one-touch open/close, and a heated steering wheel, heated rear outboard seats, and rain-sensing windshield wipers with de-icer function.
Both grades feature the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, offering enhanced connectivity and convenience. This system enables dual Bluetooth® phone connectivity, standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM compatibility, and an active Wi-Fi Connect trial or subscription for 30-days or up-to-3GB of data use. The system also allows drivers to link separate Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions for onboard control via the new Integrated Streaming feature.
Safety is paramount in the 2025 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid. It comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, which includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, Road Sign Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking.
The RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid's name has been changed from RAV4 Prime to RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, and the Toyota logo on the front and rear of the vehicle will no longer have a blue "halo" within. The XSE grade also features an available two-tone exterior paint scheme with a black roof and select colors, including Supersonic Red (extra-cost color).
The XSE grade offers additional exclusive features, such as 19-inch two-tone alloy wheels, vertical LED front accent lights, a 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen display, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, leather-trimmed steering with paddle shifters, and a Qi-wireless phone charger.
