NEW TOYOTA FLAGSHIP AND RAV4 PLUG-IN UNVEILED

EV Channels Review

The video provides an in-depth look at two significant Toyota unveilings: the 2021 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid and the all-new 2021 Toyota Mirai sedan. The reviewer expresses considerable excitement for both, particularly highlighting the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid as the most powerful RAV4 yet, with anticipated spirited acceleration and nimble handling. The extended hybrid/plug-in warranty to 10 years/150,000 miles is noted as a significant move to build consumer confidence. The Mirai, a fuel cell electric vehicle, is praised for its dramatic coupe-inspired design, moving away from its predecessor's perceived lack of appeal. The reviewer notes its premium rear-wheel-drive platform shared with the Lexus IS and Crown, and anticipates enhanced performance and a 30% increase in driving range. While acknowledging the infrastructure challenges for FCEVs, the reviewer sees the Mirai as a potential flagship and a glimpse into Toyota's future electrification strategy, which includes both battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
