Toyota’s RAV4 crossover SUV has amassed more than 10 million global sales and now the Japanese carmaker has raised the bar with its most powerful version to date. Featuring an 18.1kWh battery and punchy 2.5-litre petrol engine, the car has a claimed EV-only range of 46 miles per charge. This should be ample for the average daily commute, while the low carbon emissions figure of 22g/km will be most appealing to business drivers.
The RAV4 plug-in hybrid is sold with all-wheel drive and is available in just two trims called Design and GR Sport. We opted for the entry-level Design PHEV specification, that was anything but basic, and cost £45,395.
