THE 2021 TOYOTA SUPRA AND RAV4 PRIME ARE TWO VERY QUICK TOYOTAS – BUT WHICH IS FASTER?

EV Channels Review

This video pits the 2021 Toyota Supra (2.0L 4-cylinder) against the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime in a series of acceleration tests, challenging the notion that Toyota only builds mundane vehicles. The reviewer highlights the Supra's sporty design and engaging driving dynamics, praising its BMW-sourced powertrain and sound, despite it being the less powerful 4-cylinder model. However, the RAV4 Prime, a plug-in hybrid SUV, surprisingly demonstrates potent acceleration, often matching or even beating the 4-cylinder Supra off the line due to its instant electric torque. The reviewer is impressed by the RAV4 Prime's practicality, all-electric range, and unexpected performance, noting its standard AWD and ability to handle snowy conditions. While the 6-cylinder Supra is acknowledged as the faster car overall, the RAV4 Prime earns significant praise as a practical, efficient, and surprisingly quick "sleeper" vehicle that challenges traditional performance car expectations.
