Even the Toyota RAV4 gets the hybrid treatment for Filipino customers

This is TMP’s second electrified crossover, and the fifth Toyota model overall in the country following the Prius, Camry, Corolla Altis, and Corolla Cross. But what can customers expect from the rather hefty retail price, a difference of almost Php 400,000 from the standard version’s base variant? 

RAV4 Hybrid alloy wheels

Up to 18-inch alloy wheels are available  

There’s the 2.5-liter 16-valve gasoline engine paired with a 650-volt permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, resulting in a combined system output of 176 horsepower and 221 Nm of torque. An E-CVT channels the output to the front wheels. This is the same powertrain found on the Camry Hybrid midsize sedan.

The RAV4 Hybrid XLE brings LED exterior lighting with high-beams and leveling functions engaged automatically. These are complemented by auto-folding side mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and roof rails on the higher-spec LTD trim. Both have a tailgate that can be opened remotely. The XLE rides on a set of 17-inch wheels, while the LTD uses 18-inch alloys.

Up to five occupants can fit inside the cabin, with the RAV4 Hybrid presenting a choice of fabric and leather upholstery. Eight-way power adjustment for the driver’s seat is available on the LTD. For the instrument panel, the XLE comes with a 4.2-inch multi-information display, while the LTD uses a bigger 7-inch version.

Toyota RAV4 Launch

In 1994, Toyota RAV4 Philippines was initially introduced as a compact SUV to provide for the urban markets’ demand. It was developed throughout the years and is now a part of the fifth-generation model. Toyota automakers abandoned the traditional rounded style and took inspiration from the 4Runner SUV and midsize truck Tacoma from the US market. 

 In 2022, Toyota introduced the new hybrid versions for the Philippine market. This updated model comes in two flavors: the RAV4 XLE, and the top-spec RAV4 LTD.
