NEW CAR DAY - THIS CAR WAS NOT ON MY RADAR BUT I THINK I'M GOING TO LIKE IT!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer transitions from the MG ZS EV to a new Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, marking a significant shift in vehicle type and price point. While the MG ZS EV is praised as an affordable entry into EV ownership with a realistic range of around 140 miles (closer to 120 in sport mode), its infotainment system is noted as a drawback. The reviewer highlights the MG's suitability for daily commutes under 100 miles, provided home charging is available. The new RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, in its top-spec Dynamic Premium trim, is presented as a practical and well-equipped choice for those needing more space and flexibility. Its key advantages include a 40-mile electric range, a powerful 306 horsepower hybrid system, ample boot space, and a comfortable, premium interior with features like a panoramic sunroof and JBL sound system. The reviewer intends to thoroughly test its capabilities over the next two months, particularly for longer journeys and family use, aiming to justify its premium price tag starting from £46,150.
