Power & Performance

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid comes standard with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that gives you impressive power the minute you step on the gas. It gives you 219 hybrid system net horsepower, and the multi-electric motor assist provides you with 118 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque.

The Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT) provides you with an amazingly smooth and comfortable driving experience. It shifts between gears so seamlessly you’ll barely be able to feel it, and the precision and control will help you tackle even the tightest of turns without missing a beat.

Fuel-Efficiency

You can have superior performance and fuel efficiency at the same time with the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. You get an EPA-estimated 41 city MPG / 38 highway MPG / 40 combined MPG[1]. This means you can spend more time traveling on adventures, and less time filling up at the gas station.

And with a 14.5-gallon tank, you’ll have to fill up so rarely you might forget which side your gas tank is on! It’s a great way to help the environment and cut down on fuel costs at the same time.
