THE 2021 TOYOTA RAV4 PRIME IS BY FAR THE MOST INTERESTING & BEST NEW TOYOTA SOLD TODAY - HERE'S WHY!

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime is presented as a standout vehicle, offering a compelling blend of performance, efficiency, and practicality. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, with a 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds (even matching some sports cars from decades past), and praises its quiet, EV-only driving experience. The real-world all-electric range exceeded expectations, achieving 31.2 miles before the gasoline engine engaged, even with significant uphill driving, suggesting Toyota's 42-mile target is achievable under ideal conditions. The vehicle's AWD system, powered by electric motors, and advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist are also noted positively. The reviewer was particularly impressed with the fuel economy, achieving an astonishing 89.1 mpg over a 71.3-mile loop, largely due to effective regenerative braking that allowed for significant electric-only driving on downhill sections. Despite a higher starting MSRP, the RAV4 Prime is deemed a "huge winner" due to its performance, efficiency, and the potential for substantial fuel savings.
