Toyota RAV4 Prime

Toyota RAV4 Prime

Summary

The Toyota RAV4 is the best-selling SUV in the United States, and it is ubiquitous. It has two hybrid variants: the aptly-named “Hybrid,” which is a traditional hybrid vehicle, and the “Prime,” which is a plug-in hybrid. Despite being a “compact”-sized SUV, it has a cavernous amount of cargo capacity for its class, and the Prime is actually one of Toyota’s fastest products in a straight line. Make no mistake, though – the RAV4 is a very “vanilla” car to drive…it won’t be exciting, but it will reliably and economically get you to your destination day after day, year after year, for tens or hundreds of thousands of miles.
