Toyota rav4 prime review6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It has enough travel to make for smooth stops. The car will always keep a little bit of a charge in the battery for the eAWD system to function properly.īraking – The Rav4 Prime has a smooth brake pedal actuation. Once the battery gets “depleted”, the Rav4 prime behaves like a Rav4 Hybrid, as in, it will periodically run with the engine on and sometimes off. From the level 2 charger, Toyota claims that it’ll get fully recharged in as quickly as 2.5 hours. From the wall outlet, you’re looking anywhere up to 12 hours for a full charge. The battery is an 18.1 kWh lithium-ion pack that can be recharged via a wall outlet or a level 2 charger. However, I’ve noticed that the “guess-o-meter” of the electric range was consistently saying that it could actually go for up to 75 km (47 miles) and some owners on Rav4 forums have said that they can drive their vehicles for up to 80 km (50 miles). Toyota says that the Rav4 Prime can drive on electricity alone for up to 68 km (42 miles) and up to a speed of 135 km/h (84 mph). This mode cannot recharge the battery to 100%.īattery & Charging – Furthermore, the Rav4 Prime is quick when it is being driven just on electricity. Ideally this should only be used while driving on highways as this puts extra load on the engine which in turn burns more fuel. There is also a mode to recharge the battery by using the engine as a generator. It can do this automatically or you can press a button on the center console to switch between EV driving or hybrid driving. The Rav4 Prime seamlessly switches between the gasoline engine and the electric motors. That is pretty impressive considering that the Rav4 Prime tips the scales at 1,950 kg (4,299 lbs). That is V6 power and the 2022 Toyota Rav4 Prime can accelerate to 100 km/h in around 6 seconds. Combined, the whole powertrain can produce 302 hp (225 kW). The electric motors in the front produce 179 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque (133 kW & 270 Nm) with the rear motor producing 53 hp and 89 lb-ft of torque (40 kW & 120 Nm). But paired with it are three electric motors two in the transaxle and one driving the rear wheels. The engine on its own produces 177 hp and 165 lb-ft of torque (132 kW & 224 Nm). Engine – Like many Toyota hybrid powertrains, the 2022 Rav4 Prime is powered by a 2.5L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder. ![]()
