The overview
The new for 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime is a plug-in hybrid version of the RAV4 that comes only in all-wheel drive. With its electric drive and 2.5-liter engine, the Prime produces a combined 302-hp, making it feel very quick. It can travel about 40 miles on all-electric power alone. It takes nearly five hours to charge the battery on a 240-volt outlet. The RAV4 Prime transforms the RAV4 into a quick, quiet, more upscale SUV. Thanks to its relatively large battery size, it qualifies for the federal $7,500 tax incentive EVs get, making it a sensible choice. It is available in SE and XSE trim lines. All RAV4 Primes come standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, blind spot warning, and road sign recognition. For 2025 the RAV4 Prime is renamed RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
