WHAT'S QUICKER IN A DRAG RACE: THE TOYOTA CAMRY TRD OR THE NEW BEST-SELLING TOYOTA RAV4?

EV Channels Review

This video pits the 2020 Toyota Camry TRD against the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime in a drag race and 0-60 comparison. The Camry TRD, a 301 horsepower front-wheel-drive sedan with a 3.5L V6 and 8-speed automatic, is noted for its sporty styling and engaging driving dynamics, despite its "boring package" perception. The RAV4 Prime, a 302 horsepower plug-in hybrid SUV with all-wheel-drive, offers impressive acceleration thanks to its electric motors, achieving a 0-60 time of 6.11 seconds. However, its EV-only 0-60 was significantly slower at 9.43 seconds. The Camry TRD achieved a best 0-60 of 7.58 seconds. While the RAV4 Prime offers practicality, efficiency, and AWD, the reviewer leans towards the Camry TRD for its more fun-to-drive nature and sporty feel, despite the RAV4's superior performance in the drag race. The reviewer also highlights the Camry's exhaust note as a standout feature.
