Despite a price hike of $350 compared to its predecessor, the eco-friendly crossover, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime, does not come with many notable updates. Limited quantities of this vehicle will be available at US dealerships later this year.
The base model, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime SE, showcases black accents, a dual exhaust system, and two-tone 18-inch wheels. Buyers will appreciate the leather-wrapped steering wheel, the heated front seats with 8-way power adjustment for the driver, and the bold red stitching, which adds a sporty touch to the car. Furthermore, this variant features a 6-speaker sound system, a 7-inch multi-information display, and an 8-inch infotainment screen.
For customers seeking a more luxurious option, the Weather & Moonroof Package is available at an additional cost of $1,665. This package adds a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and rain-sensing wipers with a de-icing function.
If these offerings are still not appealing enough, users can opt for the RAV4 Prime XSE, priced at $47,310. This version stands out with vertical LED headlights, larger 19-inch wheels, and red-painted shock absorbers. Additionally, the car features a visually striking two-tone exterior with a black roof complementing the contrasting body color.
Further enhancements await inside the cabin, including SofTex-trimmed seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a larger 10.5-inch infotainment screen, and a JBL 11-speaker audio system accompanied by a subwoofer.
Other notable highlights encompass interior ambient lighting, wireless charging, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror featuring HomeLink. Optional packages are also available for customers to enjoy heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
Standard on the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime is the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ driver assistance system. This advanced system includes features like Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. Additionally, the car boasts automatic headlights, road sign assist, a rear-seat reminder, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
Powering this vehicle is a plug-in hybrid powertrain composed of a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and two electric motors, all working in tandem with an 18.1 kWh battery pack. With a total output of 302 horsepower, combined with all-wheel drive, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds.
