Since we know the price and most of the specs of the upcoming Toyota RAV4 Prime (in Europe it will be called RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid), let's once again take a closer look at this new PHEV. Soon, it might be the top-selling PHEV in the U.S.
The Japanese manufacturer already showed the RAV4 Prime at several auto shows, including unveiling it at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show in November, and - before COVID-19, at the Montreal Auto Show and Chicago Auto Show. The car was seen also at the Brussels Motor Show in Europe.
Down below, we attached specs, gallery and tons of great videos about the RAV4 Prime.
