2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Specs

From its body style the RAV4 Hybrid has much likeness that we can find in the Lexus NX as well as its power with 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and dual electric motor. In spite of similarity share-out, however, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid will only offer an all-wheel drive unit (Lexus LX goes in either FWD or AWD).

We may get trouble differing the hybrid to the other gasoline RAV4 since they massively resemble. Some flashy changes would be new restyled rear and front stripes, recessed fog lights as well as lower positioned bumper. So the full specs details are still awaited to go out of the box until the launch accomplished.

Toyota claims to retake its 8th hybrid up to 180 horsepower and additional thrills expected to boost its acceleration and respectable improved fuel economy. Eagerly to see how RAV4 Hybrid exactly comes.

Gas Mileage

Officials didn't mention any further regarding its engine changes besides a 6-speed automatic joined FWD in all standards. Expect the automaker to bring out head-to-head or even higher than its rival, Lexus RX crossover, which generates "33 mpg/city and 30mpg/hwy" - Toyota promises more, though. Two more tight competitors; Honda CR-V offering great comfort and impressive fuel efficiency - and Mazda CX-5 standing for its terrific handling and dashing posture.
