Toyota RAV4 Prime
Model Overview
The Toyota RAV4 Prime puts plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology into one of the most popular vehicles in one of Canada’s favourite vehicle segments, the compact crossover class. Combining some electric-only driving with a potent powertrain, the RAV4 Prime is a great primer, if you will, for what the future holds in the small SUV category. Like other RAV4 variants, the Prime boasts a practical interior with lots of space.
