It also offers a range of 68 kilometers which is greater than that offered in the Outlander PHEV and Ford Escape PHEV.

“Our goal for 2025 is to have an electrified option on every model we sell and that these vehicles represent 40 percent of our sales. We will achieve this by delivering a winning combination of performance, style and price,” said Cyril Dimitris, vice president of Toyota Canada Inc. The Toyota RAV4 Prime is a prime example of our no-compromise approach to electrified vehicles, with a view to offering appreciable advantages to drivers”.
