The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) – formerly the RAV4 Hybrid Prime – is back with a new name for this model year but brings the same efficiency and capability. It’s considerably more powerful than its hybrid counterpart, generating 302 horsepower and able to tow up to 2,500 pounds (that’s 81 more horsepower and 750 more pounds of towing than the RAV4 Hybrid). It achieves that while returning 40 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and up to 94 combined MPGe, with a 42-mile all-electric range. Sporty interior trim and features like red-painted shock absorbers, upscale options like a moonroof or panoramic glass roof, and adventure-ready electronic on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) make the 2025 RAV4 PHEV a clear choice for anyone looking for a versatile compact SUV.
Like all new 2025 Toyotas, the RAV4 PHEV comes with a ToyotaCare no-cost maintenance plan that covers regular factory-scheduled maintenance, including multipoint inspections, tire rotations, and oil changes for two years or 25,000 miles. Two years of 24-hour roadside assistance (unlimited miles) is included as well.

Maximum Towing Capacity
Toyota present the 2025 RAV4 PHEV in two trims: SE and XSE. Their powertrain couples a 177-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with two lithium-ion battery-powered electric motors (one front and one rear, generating a combined 288 lb.-ft. of torque), for a total system output of 302 horsepower. An electronically controlled continuously variable transmission and Toyota’s electronic on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) come standard on both trims, as does a drive-mode selector with settings labeled Sport, Eco, Normal, EV, HV, Auto EV/AV, Charge, and Trail.
Both trims can travel up to 42 miles on electric power alone, after which they return 40 mpg city and 36 mpg highway in hybrid mode (this translates to 94 combined MPGe). A 240-volt charger will fully juice the battery in just 2.5 hours. Either trim can tow up to 2,500 pounds.
The SE has a red-accented interior with black fabric-clad seats with red stitching and embossed inserts, heated front seats, an 8-way power-adjustable front driver’s seat with lumbar support, and a 4-way adjustable front passenger seat. It also receives a leather-trimmed steering wheel with red stitching and silver accents, a leather-trimmed shift lever, a 7-inch digital instrument display, bi-LED projector headlights with auto-on/off, LED taillights, LED accent lights, LED daytime running lights, heated power exterior mirrors with turn-signal and blind-spot warning indicators, a power liftgate, the Smart Key system on the front doors and liftgate, touch-sensor lock and unlock on front doors, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear A/C vents, a day/night rearview mirror, five USB ports, two 12-volt outlets, a fold-flat rear seat with a 60/40 split, low-profile roof rails, acoustic noise-reducing glass on front windows, privacy glass on the rear windows, a chrome-tipped exhaust, a cargo-area tonneau cover, a height-adjustable rear deck board, and 18-inch black-painted and machined sport alloy wheels. A moonroof, a heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats are available through the Weather & Moonroof Package.
The XSE is upgraded with SofTex upholstery, a moonroof, paddle shifters, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a HomeLink transceiver, wireless smartphone charging, red-painted shock absorbers, vertical LED accent lights, blue ambient interior lighting, front-center air vent flow controls, a two-tone exterior (black roof and exterior mirrors), and 19-inch black painted and machined sport alloy wheels. The optional Premium Package will supply a panoramic glass roof, a 10-inch head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a foot-activated power liftgate, an enhanced Smart Key system (expanded to all doors), an upgraded driver’s seat with lumbar support and a two-position memory function, and a 120-volt AC power outlet. The Weather Package adds a heated steering wheel.
Both RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid trims come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ suite, consisting of full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, road sign assist, lane tracing assist, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Both trims have a vehicle proximity notification system, trailer-sway control, hill start assist control, traction control, vehicle stability control, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and a backup monitor that shows dynamic gridlines. The XSE adds an anti-theft alarm; it’s also eligible for a panoramic view monitor with a 360-degree overhead view camera and front and rear parking assist with automatic braking.
The SE has an 8-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker sound system, while the XSE is upgraded with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a deluxe 11-speaker JBL audio system with an amplifier and a subwoofer. Both trims are set up with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wireless smartphone connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free phone function and audio streaming, SiriusXM satellite radio, and access to subscription-based Toyota Connected Services (including Drive Connect Cloud Navigation) and up to a 10-year trial subscription to Service Connect and Safety Connect.
