Overview
Cars like the 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The RAV4 Hybrid uses its 2.5L inline-4 engine and 650-volt hybrid system to produce 194 horsepower. This gives the RAV4 Hybrid a 0-60 of 8.0 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2018 RAV4 Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 32 MPG. As part of the compact SUV, the RAV4 Hybrid competes with the Nissan Rogue Hybrid and the Lexus NX 300h Hybrid. It offers 4 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $27,385.
