Why Everyone’s Raving About The 2019 RAV4 Hybrid

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is fun, fuel-efficient, and comes with a spunky design. Take a look at why everyone is raving about this new hybrid and all that it has to offer.

It Offers Many Trims

The 2019 RAV4 Hybrid comes in four unique trims. These include:

  • XSE – Features include a midnight black metallic roof, SofTex front seats, and 18” alloy wheels giving it a fierce, sporty look.
  • Limited – Features a Bird’s-Eye View Monitor and a hands-free power back door. It’s also equipped with Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, Digital-Display Rearview Mirror, and an Entune 3.0 Premium Audio System, featuring Sirius XM and Embedded Navigation.
  • LE – Stands out with its Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive and continuously variable transmission. It also boasts dual-zone automatic air conditioning and Entune 3.0 Audio with 7” Audio Display, compatible with Apple CarPlay.
  • XLE – Is an upscale trim with all of the LE features, plus a power moonroof and smart key system for comfort and convenience.

It’s an Award-Winning Design With Notable Features

The 2019 RAV4 Hybrid garners instant credibility as it won a Wards 10 Best Interiors Award in May 2019. It’s easy to see why, considering that it can be optioned with the Entune 3.0 Audio System, heated and ventilated seats, heated leather steering wheel, and other top-of-the-line features.

This SUV lets you go further for longer with a boost in horsepower (219 net horsepower) and faster acceleration than gas-powered models. The next-generation hybrid system combines with the 2.5-litre Dynamic Force Engine to deliver energy efficiency and power output in one.

Where Are Toyota RAV4 Hybrids Made?

Toyota RAV4 Hybrids are made at Toyota Canada’s North Assembly Plant in Cambridge, Ontario. RAV4 Hybrids built in Canada only supply the Canadian market, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada is the biggest producer of RAV4s for North American markets.

Toyota began building its hybrid in Cambridge in 2019 after they were previously built in Japan. Non-hybrid RAV4 production also takes place at the Cambridge plant, as well as at the assembly plant in Woodstock, Ontario.

How Does the Hybrid RAV4 Work?

With Electronic On-Demand All Wheel Drive, there is a dedicated electric motor at each wheel. As a result, hybrid models channel torque where you need it most during various driving conditions. The torque can go 100% to the front wheels or an even split between the front and rear wheels to give you greater traction.

On the other hand, Multi-Terrain Select lets you choose from four modes to regulate wheel spin and give you maximum traction on the toughest terrain.

The RAV4 Hybrid operates in three different modes: electric-only, gas-only, or a combination of the two. The three modes work together to provide a seamless mix of power and acceleration.

What’s the RAV4 Hybrid Fuel Economy?

The RAV4 Hybrid has a fuel rating of 5.8L/100km in the city and 6.3L/100km on the highway, making it one of the more fuel-efficient offerings of its kind. It doesn’t compromise on power or performance, helping you reduce your carbon footprint with every kilometre you drive.

The RAV4 hybrid provides you with an efficient engine built for different road types, and you won’t have to change your driving approach either. It optimizes the combination of gas and electric power as you drive, adjusting seamlessly while you’re behind the wheel.

Is the RAV4 Hybrid Worth It?

With the RAV4 Hybrid’s high-performance battery, you have an SUV that allows you to efficiently extend the driving range with every drop of gas.

The 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid does not require more maintenance than Toyota’s conventionally powered vehicles. You simply follow the same service schedule, with the technicians checking the battery or hybrid systems instead.

Furthermore, hybrids never need to be plugged in. They recharge on the go, using regenerative braking to capture and transform electricity and store it in the battery.

It Comes With Extensive Protection

RAV4 Hybrid comes with an eight-year, 160,000km Hybrid Component Warranty giving you peace of mind with extensive protection. RAV4 also comes with a three-year 24 Hour Roadside Assistance warranty. Coverage includes towing, battery boost, lockout service, and fuel delivery.
