The RAV4 Hybrid combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine with two electric motors and a CVT transmission. Totaled together, the RAV4 Hybrid offers up to 194 horsepower. That’s enough to get your road trip going. Looking deeper, the RAV4 Hybrid’s all-wheel-drive system is the sort of rugged, dependable drivetrain you want to take with you when you set off across the open road—or even off the road. All that power should take a toll on the fuel economy, but the RAV4 Hybrid’s smart design uses the gas engine and one electric motor to drive the front axel, while the second electric motor drives the rear axel, unconnected to what’s happening up front. Splitting the work between the front and back axels allows the car more flexibility and better overall economy, with the EPA economy figures coming in at 34 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. With that sort of economy, you can afford to take the scenic route.
If winter blues have got you down, it’s time to start planning that perfect summer road trip, and consider taking along a dependable and reliable Toyota to get you there in comfort and style. Goodbye winter blues, hello summer fun.
