car_truckRain beads off the two-tone body as dawn lifts over the neighborhood. You tap the starter, the cabin glows to life, and the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid XSE slips away in near silence, riding on a wave of instant electric torque. A turn onto the main road, a confident squeeze of the accelerator, and the SUV gathers pace with an ease that makes the morning rush feel less like a chore and more like a head start. The Blueprint with Black Roof finish catches the early light, the stance purposeful, the motion composed—an everyday ritual transformed into something you’ll look forward to.
Toyota’s plug-in hybrid system pairs the Dynamic Force 2.5L four-cylinder with a lithium-ion traction battery to deliver smooth, decisive response and admirable efficiency.
Commutes can be largely electric when charged, while longer trips blend engine and motor power seamlessly through a refined CVT for quiet cruising and confident passing. Regenerative braking helps feed energy back into the battery, and selectable drive settings let you tailor the driving character from relaxed to spirited. With an advanced all-wheel-drive system working in the background, traction feels reassuring on wet pavement and gravel lanes alike.
Inside, the XSE trim elevates the daily drive. Supportive seats trimmed in SofTex cloth and leatherette welcome you with heating front and rear, and a heated leather steering wheel completes a cabin focused on comfort through every season. Dual-zone automatic climate control, thoughtful storage solutions, and a power liftgate contribute to a seamless ownership experience—equally ready for the weekday routine or a weekend escape.
The first-row sliding glass sunroof opens the cabin to sky and fresh air, while ambient lighting lends an evening calm on the way home.
Technology is confidently integrated and easy to use. The Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen anchors the dash with intuitive menus, wireless smartphone compatibility via Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, available Wi‑Fi Connect, and front wireless device charging. A crisp digital instrumentation display keeps vital information in clear view, including hybrid system status and energy flow, so you always know how efficiently you’re traveling.
Peace of mind comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+. Features such as the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Automatic High Beam, and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control work together to support your awareness on busy streets and open highways.
Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert add confidence in tight parking lots, while Safe Exit Assist and Emergency Steering Assist provide added reassurance around cyclists and pedestrians. In the event you need assistance, SafetyConnect® and Service Connect offer helpful connected services, including emergency SOS capability and convenient vehicle health updates.
Practicality remains a RAV4 hallmark. The rear seats fold 60/40 to expand a versatile cargo area with a multi-level floor and a roll-up cover, and roof rails stand ready for bikes or a cargo box. With an estimated 5.7 city / 6.4 highway fuel consumption and just 3 kilometers on the odometer, this new RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid XSE offers an exceptionally efficient start to ownership—delivering the composure, technology, and capability you expect from Toyota, with the added flexibility of plug-in hybrid driving.
