Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid

More than 2.5 million units of the RAV4 have been sold worldwide since its launch in 1993. So the latest generation is an important model for Toyota. As mentioned, the model is coming to the Netherlands exclusively as a PHEV. A new high-capacity lithium-ion battery of 22.7 kWh (net) enables a greater all-electric driving range of up to 100 km (WLTP). Combined with the 55-liter fuel tank, this gives the new RAV4 a range of over 1,000 kilometers. The plug-in hybrid can fast charge with 50 kW. This allows the battery to be charged from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes. Home or public charging is via an 11 kW AC charger.
