The 2025 RAV4 Hybrid is Toyota’s best-selling compact SUV with a fuel-thrifty hybrid twist. It combines a gas engine and electric motors to deliver excellent fuel economy, standard all-wheel drive, and a comfortable, quiet ride — without sacrificing room or versatility.

The primary distinction is the powertrain:

Standard RAV4 offers just a 2.5L gas engine.

RAV4 Hybrid pairs a 2.5L gas engine with two electric motors for improved performance and efficiency.

You get higher MPG, more torque, and electronic all-wheel drive (AWD-e) as standard on all hybrid trims.

You can expect:

    41 MPG city

    38 MPG highway

    39–40 MPG combined

That’s a big improvement over most gas-only vehicles in this class — and you don’t have to plug it in.

Yes! AWD is available on all RAV4 Hybrids. Rear electric motor kicks in automatically whenever traction is required — great for rainy roads, snow, or gentle trails. No switching, it gets to work automatically.

8. How much cargo room does it have?

Cargo space remains excellent:

37.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats

69.8 cubic feet with rear seats down

You lose no cargo space with the hybrid battery compared to the gas RAV4.

You’d be surprised. With 219 horsepower and instant electric torque, 0–60 mph in about 7.5 seconds — quicker than conventional RAV4 and most other compact crossover SUVs.

Modern, practical, and well-built:

    Soft-touch materials and rugged design

    8″ or 12.3″ touchscreen (depending on trim)

    Digital instrument cluster available

    Optional panoramic moonroof

    Available heated/ventilated front seats and heated rear seats

Toyota’s goal is comfort with utility, and it shows in every trim.

    Toyota Audio Multimedia with voice assistant
