The Toyota RAV4 Prime has offered a genre-shaking Plug-in hybrid vehicle to customers in Goleta, but there’s a change coming for 2025. Toyota isn’t taking away the all-electric driving range, the stupendous combined fuel mileage rating, or any of the powerful technologies in the RAV4.
They are changing the name, though, to something that makes it a piece of cake to understand which model you’re considering. You’ll now be able to choose from the RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, and RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.
Its full name is Their Majesty 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), but the RAV4 is a friendly vehicle that honestly prefers to keep it simple with “RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.” There’s no crazy pretense with this SUV.
Famous folks have often changed their names to join the Screen Actors Guild, and Prince used that symbol for a while, so an acceptable nickname for the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is “The Car That’s Formerly Kown as Prime.”
What Else Is Different With This New Toyota RAV4 Hybrid?
The Toyota RAV4 Prime has offered a genre-shaking Plug-in hybrid vehicle to customers in Goleta, but there’s a change coming for 2025. Toyota isn’t taking away the all-electric driving range, the stupendous combined fuel mileage rating, or any of the powerful technologies in the RAV4.
The 2024 RAV4 Prime is a winning model, and beyond the new name, the only change on the 2025 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is the Toyota emblem.
RAV4 Prime small SUVs have Toyota badges that feature blue halo highlighting to draw attention to the advanced gas/electric powertrain they contain.
The Toyota badges on the 2025 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid will no longer have that halo shading. That’s the only change, as the amazing features of the 2024 RAV4 otherwise carry over to the 2025 model.
The RAV4 won’t leave you blue, as all the variations of this Toyota compact SUV are amazing, so come today to test drive one of the best small SUVs on the market.
