New York 2015: Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

And here we have the final debut of the New York Auto Show…a hybrid version of the Toyota RAV4.

The RAV4 uses the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine mated to an electric motor. In the NX, the setup makes 200 hp while returning 33/30 mpg city/highway. Not bad for an AWD crossover.

    My god, positive TTAC comments on a Toyota, and a RAV4 at that?! Look up for the pigs. I'm kidding, if anything I agree this could be a compelling package. And proof that commenters here are generally a thoughtful bunch.

    I like it, if only because they didn't opt for the bumper delete to make this look like all the rest of their hideous fishmobiles. Interior doesn't look half bad either. I'll keep an eye on this for the inevitable day when my wife gets bored with her old corolla.

  • Rrp138519787 If Jeep wanted to re-introduce the Wagoneer name, they just should have named the Grand Cherokee L the Wagoneer instead, and done a little bit more styling differentiation. They could have done a super deluxe version as the Grand Wagoneer. But all Wagoneers would have been the three row version as the primary product differentiation. And would cause less confusion for consumers overall.
