2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime XSE blends performance, practicality, and efficiency into a compelling plug-in hybrid SUV. Under its hood lies a 2.5liter four-cylinder engine paired with dual electric motors, producing a robust 302 combined net horsepower.

but also provides up to 42 miles of all-electric range and a combined efficiency rating of 94MPGe.
All-wheel drive comes standard, thanks to an electronically controlled rear electric motor, giving the XSE strong traction and handling in a variety of conditions.
Inside, the cabin is well-appointed with synthetic SofTex (leather-like) seating, paddle shifters for regenerative braking, and a power moonroof that adds a touch of elegance and sportiness.
The infotainment system centers around a 9-inch touchscreen, while available upgrades include a JBL premium audio system and built-in navigation.
Toyotas suite of advanced safety features (Toyota Safety Sense 2.0) is standard, offering pre-collision warning, lane tracing, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring.
From a usability standpoint, the lithium-ion battery sits under the floor to preserve interior space, and the car maintains a healthy 2,500-pound towing capacity.
Overall, the 2022 RAV4 Prime XSE stands out as a dynamic and efficient SUV ideal for drivers who want spirited performance, strong electric driving capability, and the reliability of a Toyota compact crossover.
