Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid cars use the same proven Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive technology, but with a notable difference.

Toyota Plug-in Hybrids feature a significantly higher capacity battery and a greater EV range of up to 75km. Plug-ins can be charged from an external electricity source, such as a domestic socket, a dedicated wallbox or on-street charger. While charging as often as possible will allow for maximum efficiency, Toyota Plug-in Hybrids run in Hybrid mode even when uncharged.

When in Hybrid mode, all Toyota Hybrids switch seamlessly between two power sources – an efficient petrol engine and an intelligent self-charging Hybrid battery. This offers a high degree of flexibility, particularly for longer journeys. 

The RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is playfully responsive and powerful, delivering an enjoyable driving experience. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds thanks to its impressive traction and 306 DIN hp output.

With lower CO2 emissions and better efficiency than a conventional combustion-engine car, RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid delivers an even greater fuel economy performance (22g CO2 / 1.0L fuel combined). As well as this, RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid offers all the benefits of an incredible EV drive – from powerful instant torque to a fully silent interior space. 

When in electric mode, travel exclusively emission- free anywhere and everywhere. RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid has a range of up to up to 75 km (combined), or up to 98km (city).

Sprint to a top electric speed of 135 km/h with EV default mode, even under full throttle*. For distances longer than the pure EV range, RAV4 Plug-in seamlessly switches to operating as a Hybrid car, combining petrol and regenerated battery power.

*Conditional to sufficient State Of Charge (SOC) level 

Domestic home socket

You can recharge your RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid from a domestic power supply (10 A).

Wallbox

Fast, reliable and dedicated home/office charging is possible via a wallbox* charge unit.

*Contact your dealership if you are considering acquiring a wallbox together with your vehicle.

Public Chargers

Plug in to any public fast chargers in the street or dedicated parking spaces. Also subscribe to the Toyota Charging Network through the MyT app to easily access nearby charging stations. 

Domestic home socket

Fully recharge in 7.5 hours*. With the ability to schedule charging times, you could benefit from reduced charging costs if your electricity tariff is cheaper overnight or at off-peak hours.

Wallbox

Installing a dedicated cable and wallbox to your home delivers optimum speed and safety, able to return a full charge in 2.5 hours*. You can also control & monitor charge using the MyT app remotely.

Public Chargers

Plug in to a charger accessible to the public. Just like with wallbox units, the battery will be fully charged in 2.5 hours*.

The MyT app also allows you to check the time remaining for complete charge, which is particularly useful when connected to a public charger.

Charge more frequently

Charging every day will help you to bring out the most enjoyment from the EV capability of your car.

A smooth drive

Optimising your driving style will improve your vehicle’s EV efficiency, as well as deliver outstanding performance with every journey.

Regenerative Braking

Capturing the kinetic energy from braking recharges the battery and intuitively slows the car whenever you lift off the accelerator.

Pre-heat your interior

Enjoy the perfect temperature every time with remote heating. Cool or heat your car before driving without ever putting a strain on the battery’s operating range. 

Regular charging will allow you to significantly notice the benefits of EV driving, including lower emissions and better running costs. However, as long as your vehicle has fuel, drive your RAV4 Plug-in hybrid in Hybrid mode when the battery is empty. 

At Toyota, we build every battery to last the lifetime of your vehicle. Each battery comes with a 5-year /100,000 km* warranty which can, with an annual Hybrid Health Check, extend battery cover for up to 10 years.
