Book a test drive, I want to be the first to test drive it

North America’s first crossover vehicle

The RAV4 holds a special place in history as the very first compact crossover SUV introduced to North America in 1996. Crossover SUVs were introduced so drivers could enjoy the fuel efficiency of a compact car, with the perks and benefits that come with an SUV.

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime will arrive at local Toyota dealerships like Amherst Toyota in summer 2020. It’s the first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in this model—it can run for 60 km on a single charge—and also boasts an amazing 2.6 litres per 100 km fuel consumption rate, making it one of the most fuel efficient SUVs in North America. The RAV4 Prime will be available in two dynamic models—the sporty SE and the sportier XSE.

Inside the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime

If you have found previous RAV4 models comfortably appointed, now Toyota is increasing interior comfort even further in the new 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime model. Inside, you’ll have everything you need to drive safely and comfortably within reach of your fingertips, as you sit comfortably in standard heated front seats and 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment plus heated leather steering wheel. When you move up to the available XSE model, you’ll enjoy the luxury of SofTex synthetic leather seat surfaces, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a panoramic moonroof—so you can truly enjoy your outdoor adventures.

A New Hybrid Engine

Toyota’s hybrid engines have a great reputation as being fuel efficient while still providing excellent power capabilities, and the new 2021 RAV4 Prime Hybrid will be the same. With 302 horsepower, this engine has the capability of doing 0–96 km/h in a projected 5.8 seconds—making it Toyota’s second fastest engine in its lineup based on acceleration. This plug-in hybrid includes powerful motor generators, a newly developed high capacity Lithium-ion battery and booster converter, and can be filled up using regular grade gas—for the little that it does need.

Driver and Passenger fun

Inside the new 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime, both driver and passengers will enjoy the ride with the connectivity provided by Toyota. Enjoy the 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, and 7-inch multi-information display, available wireless smartphone charger, auto-dimming rearview mirror and integrated garage door opener. Rainy and cold days will never be an issue with the windshield wiper de-icer and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Also available on select models will be the first ever available colour head-up display, a RAV4 first.
