The model
Read full Toyota RAV4 reviewThe Toyota RAV4's plug-in hybrid engine means it's a sensible company car choice, and its strong resale values, good fuel economy and great reliability record make it a tempting option for private buyers too. If you buy one, we recommend going for Design trim, which gets you everything you’d need.

The engine
See full engine specsThe least powerful RAV4 has both a 176bhp 2.5-litre petrol engine and an electric motor, giving a total system output of 215bhp that offers brisk performance with a 0-62mph time of 8.4sec, but we prefer the four-wheel drive version because of its far better towing performance.
