2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime Coming Soon to San Francisco, CA

All-New RAV4 Prime

The already-impressive Toyota RAV4 lineup is about to get another upgrade when the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime, a high-performance PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid), arrives at dealerships like San Francisco Toyota later this year. The RAV4 Prime is the most powerful RAV4 yet, using a modified version of the RAV4 Hybrid’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine that is paired with electric motors. The engine alone produces 176 horsepower, but when you add the electric power, the RAV4 Prime delivers a total output of 302 horsepower. It is also projected to go from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 5.8 seconds, which is tops among the Toyota four-door lineup. Even with that kind of power and speed, it remains efficient. The RAV4 Prime is projected to achieve an EPA-estimated 90 combined MPGe (miles per gallon electric equivalent). Plus, it is expected to have a driving range of 39 miles on its battery alone after a full charge, which is the highest EV range of any of the PHEV SUVs that are available today. 

Features and Trim Highlights

You’ll have a choice between two trims in the 2021 RAV4 Prime lineup: SE and XSE. Both models are equipped with all-wheel drive and boast loads of top-notch features. Heated front seats, a seven-inch multi-information display, an eight-inch touchscreen central infotainment system display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and Amazon Alexa integration are just a few of the standard features. Upgrading to the XSE grade will get you a two-tone exterior paint option, paddle shifters, a moonroof, ambient lighting, Qi-wireless phone charging, Audio Plus with a nine-inch touchscreen display, and more. 

This is just a taste of what’s on the way, and we are excited to welcome it here on our lot. The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime is currently expected to be released toward the end of summer this year, and if you want to get a head start on reserving yours or have any other questions, please contact us today!
