The 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid arrives this year with a few improvements, including redesigned headlights, a new color option and a new version with more features. That said, Toyota hasn't messed with what has dictated the success of the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid over the years.  It's not only one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs you can buy, it's also one of the most reliable, versatile and safe models you can buy. And if that weren't enough, the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is also expected, like all other RAV4 Hybrids before it, to offer one of the best resale values in the industry.

New 2022 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid

Among the many changes we find on the 2022 Toyota RAV4 lineup, we have the new SE Hybrid version for models with an electrified powertrain.

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid has a wide range of exclusive equipment as well as design and styling elements. Buyers get a new mono-tone paint job, cloth-trimmed seats and a 7-inch touchscreen with 6 speakers. Buyers also get a heated leather steering wheel and heated front seats for cold Ontario winters, and rain-sensing wipers that you'll use more often than you think.

Exceptional efficiency

The 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine mated to an electric powertrain. The battery is a 1.6 kWh unit that isn't powerful enough to run the RAV4 Hybrid solely on electricity like the RAV4 Prime, but this battery certainly has enough power to assist the gas engine as well as multiple functions in the new RAV4. The end result is that the engine doesn't have to work as hard to accelerate, start, or do anything else an engine needs to do in a car or SUV. As a result, the RAV4 Hybrid owner gets better fuel economy while enjoying more performance from the added power of the electric motor.

What does all this mean? Well, it means you get 219 horsepower from your Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. That's 16 more horsepower than the traditional Toyota RAV4. You also get an average fuel economy of 5.8 L/100 km in the city and 6.3 L/100 km on the highway.

That's what makes the 2022 Toyota RAV4 so exceptional. You get more power than the regular RAV4, you get just as much interior space, but you get significantly improved fuel efficiency. The RAV4 Hybrid is more efficient than many compact cars, yet it still offers over 1,000 liters of cargo space. It doesn't need to compromise on interior versatility, as it's roomier than many gasoline-powered competitors, and it has a towing capacity of 1,750 pounds, which is more than many compact gasoline SUVs.

It's no wonder the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is so popular and has such good resale value. Call us today to learn more about this exceptional SUV.
