Diesel engines were the actual option for Europeans interested in covering long trips without hassle of repeated fuel. Once a king’s efficiency, diesel decreased significantly due to strict emissions regulations in the European Union. However, Toyota is confident that it has found a better alternative: the component hybrid. It is claimed that the new RAV4 PHEV offers a diesel -like domain, with an additional benefit of electrical sailing.
The sixth generation Rav4 In the component hybrid flavor it can cover more than 839 miles (1,350 km) with a full gas tank and a fully charged battery in the test cycle in Japan. This represents an improvement of 31 miles (50 km) on the previous PEV model. Toyota targets a purely electrical set of 93 miles (150 km) in Japan, although it expects a number classified as the Environmental Protection Agency just 50 miles (80 km) for the version sold in North America.

The great contradiction stems from different test courses, as the Environmental Protection Agency is more strict than JC08 in Japan. In Europe and other areas that depend on the WLTP standard, the integrated integrated can be paid for a distance of 62 miles (100 km) before the start of the 2.5 -liter gas engine. Toyota does not specify the capacity of the gas tank, but we know that the previous generation RAV4 PHEV can carry 14.5 gallons or 55 liters.
The additional range is possible by strengthening the capacity of the battery package from 18.1 kW an hour to 22.7 kW an hour. Although it is somewhat similar, the designed body is more dynamic than before. Toyota claims to improve the front and rear spoilers and re -photographed wheels to improve air flow.
Other benefits of the new PHEV include an increase in joint output from 302 to 320 hp for new sports for 2026 grams, while the withdrawal capacity jumps from 2500 to 3500 pounds. There is also support to charge DC with a maximum of 50 kW, allowing the owners to renew the battery from 10 to 80 percent in half an hour.

As with the previous generation model, the diesel engine is not available. In fact, RAV4 is no longer shown with gas preparation only. The publications announced so far for North America, Japan and Europe will include hybrid electric engines and full hybrid elevators.
Rav4 is the real Globetrotter. Toyota sells its very successful intersection in 180 countries and regions. About 15 million units have been handed over since the arrival of the first generation in 1994. It is the second most popular Toyota, which Corolla excelled only, which holds the title of the best -selling car ever, with 50 million units sold by 2021.
