The Toyota RAV4 Prime is Too Shocking For Doug DeMuro
Video

Who would have thought the hitherto ordinary Toyota RAV4 Prime would be shocking even for Doug “This is” DeMuro. But it is shocking and it is a Toyota. But not in the way you would imagine. In this case, shocking is good. The RAV4 Prime is a Plugin Hybrid performance variant powered by a 4-cylinder, 2.5-litre engine and twin electric motors. Apparently, it can cover over 40 miles in pure electric mode.

So the RAV4 Prime works like this, the engine has 180bhp and the two additional electric motors provide the remainder of the 300bhp. DeMuro points out that the RAV4 Prime can cover the 0-62mph time in 5.7 seconds. AWD is standard and prices in the USA start from under $40k.

As usual DeMuro gives his analytical quirks and features tour of the Toyota RAV4 Prime.
