The 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is about as sensible a vehicle as it gets. It combines the bestselling SUV in the country — the excellent RAV4 — with next-gen hybrid technology that enables it to achieve stunning mileage numbers, numbers that would be out of reach for many non-electrified sedans and hatchbacks. The price is reasonable, and on trims like the XLE, the value is immense. What’s not to like? You can answer that question for yourself when you take a new 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for a test drive at Krause Toyota in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania.
All 2024 RAV4 Hybrid models use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors, which power all four wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission. AWD is standard thanks to one of the motors, which independently drives the rear axle. All combined, the RAV4 generates 219 horsepower, more than the non-hybrid model, and the low-end grunt provided by the electric motors is certainly felt in the SUV’s superior acceleration. It’s a quick SUV by any standard, making it all the more impressive that it earns up to 41 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.[1] No matter where you drive or how much time you spend on the road, you can count on this ride to save you fuel at the pump by ensuring you rarely have to visit it.
The base RAV4 Hybrid LE and XLE both come with an 8-inch infotainment touch screen, which is upgraded to a 10.5-inch display on the XSE and Limited models. Regardless of the size of the screen, all RAV4 Hybrids feature wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity, plus a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.
For families and busy individuals, this makes the RAV4 Hybrid not just a great vehicle, but also a top-notch connectivity device. Every model also gets digital gauge instrumentation, which beautifully renders critical driving information on a 12.3-inch display on top trims. You can also upgrade the baseline six-speaker sound system to an excellent 11-speaker JBL® setup, which should satisfy the ears of even the most exacting audiophiles.
All new Toyota models, including the RAV4 Hybrid, are among the best-equipped vehicles when it comes to driver-assistance features. Each RAV4 Hybrid trim, even the base LE and affordable XLE, get standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5, an advanced suite of safety systems. It Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist, and more. It’s like having a superhuman co-pilot helping you drive and, if needed, potentially intervening to help you avoid or mitigate an accident.
The interior of the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is a nice place to be, whether you’re commuting to Allentown for work or heading upstate to visit family. Even the base trim gets dual-zone automatic climate control, a height-adjustable cargo floor, top-notch rear passenger space, and some of the most comfortable front seats in the segment, particularly when heated and ventilated. Soft-touch surfaces, available leather upholstery, numerous USB charging ports, and ample storage compartments and cup holders make the RAV4 Hybrid’s interior’s equal parts comfy and practical. Cargo space is good too, with no compromises compared to the non-hybrid model: 37.6 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 69.8 with those seats folded. That’s enough for about 10 or 22 carry-on luggage, respectively.
From the budget-friendly XLE trim to the luxurious XSE and Limited models, the RAV4 Hybrid lineup doesn’t fail to impress. It’s powerful, efficient, practical, and comfortable — and with standard AWD and 8.1 inches of ground clearance, it can handle itself off the road, too. If that sounds like the perfect ride for you, make sure to visit the Krause Toyota dealership in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, to get a closer look at the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid!
