The Star of the SUVs: the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime!

If you're thinking ahead and are about to choose your next compact SUV, the all-new Toyota RAV4 Prime stands out and has a lot to offer.

In this blog, we look at its powertrain, fuel efficiency, sporty styling, interior and innovative features.

Horses, Lots of Horses!

Equipped with a 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine and 3 electric motors, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 is not short on power. It develops 302 horsepower and is the most powerful RAV4 to date.

No doubt, according to the L'Annuel Automobile 2022:

"The hybrid model is no joke with its increased power."

In short, with the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime, you're spoiled for choice, as you'll be able to drive in electric mode, on gasoline or both. With a full tank and a full charge, the RAV4 Prime has a total range of nearly 980 kilometres. That's good news for long-distance enthusiasts!

One More Step for the Environment

Like the Toyota RAV4 hybrids, the RAV4 Prime's battery recharges while driving thanks to technologies like regenerative braking that will optimize your fuel consumption. You'll also have the option of plugging in the vehicle to extend its range in all-electric mode.

It will take 2.5 hours to quickly recharge your 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery for a range of 68 kilometres.

Finally, in terms of fuel efficiency, the 2022 Prime has an excellent record: 6.0 L/100 km (city and highway combined).

A Sporty Look for Today's Tastes

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, but more so the RAV4 Prime, offers a sporty look with its sleek design. With a grille featuring an exclusive lower front spoiler, you won't go unnoticed while driving it.

The sporty silhouette of the 2022 Prime Plug-In Hybrid is complemented by gloss black trim with optional vertical LED strip lights, 19-inch alloy wheels and an exterior colour palette to suit your taste.

A Refined Interior

The experts are unanimous: Toyota produces quality and refinement. Vincent Aubé, in the L'Annuel Automobile 2022 review, said of this vehicle:

"Regardless of the trim level chosen,
there is a sense of quality aboard this Japanese SUV."

In the 2022 Toyota Prime, there's plenty of room both for the passenger and the driver, as well as for those who take part in the adventure in the back. With excellent legroom for passengers, you'll spend long hours without getting tired.

With heated front and rear seats and ventilated front seats, you'll feel like you're in your own living room because the interior is so friendly and comfortable. Finally, the refinement is obviously observed with the choice of high-end materials worthy of the Japanese manufacturer.

In short, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime is not only a beautiful vehicle on the outside, its interior also deserves a special mention.

Innovative Features, Intuitive Technologies!

They may say that all vehicles look the same, but at the Japanese factory they don't skimp on innovation. All 2022 RAV4 Prime models are now equipped with a number of features:

• 8- or 9-inch touch screen
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• 5 USB ports
• 6 speakers
• 7-inch multifunction display

On the technology front, you'll get Audio Plus or Premium with Remote, as well as Service Connect, Safety Connect and Destination Assist to keep you connected wherever you are.

Finally, you'll get dual-zone automatic climate control, Smart Key System with push-button start, power rear liftgate with a foot-activated sensor, and an available head-up display.
