There's a new hybrid in town, and it's called the RAV4. 15 years after the first Prius was sold in the U.S., now Toyota has unveiled its eighth hybrid offering as part of the refreshed 2016 RAV4. Let's bring tech, style and efficiency to all your adventures! With the RAV4 Hybrid's advanced innovations and proven hybrid powertrain, you can make the most of any trip. And in addition to great fuel economy, the RAV4 Hybrid adds extra thrills with more power, improved acceleration and Electronic On-Demand AWD-i. It's the perfect partner for everything you want to do.

Fewer fill-ups will become the norm with the addition of the new, fuel efficient RAV4 Hybrid. Higher MPG comes without sacrifice as the RAV4 Hybrid will deliver more horsepower and better acceleration than the conventional RAV4.  A no compromise vehicle, the RAV4 Hybrid will be offered in two premium grades:  XLE and Limited.  Both grades will be equipped with an Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive System with intelligence (AWD-i).  Also available will be unique 17-inch alloy wheels and six exterior colors (Super White, Blizzard Pearl, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Classic Silver Metallic, Black Sand Pearl and a new BLUE).

The new RAV4 Hybrid XLE and Limited will feature refreshed exterior styling, providing a sleeker, more dynamic appearance.  It starts with a new, stronger looking front fascia with an available LED trifecta (Headlights, Daytime Running Lights and Hi-Lo Headlights).  The new styling extends along the lower rocker panel to the rear bumper for a flowing visual appeal; while a new rear bumper and lift gate with available LED taillights add a premium touch. Additional new exterior features include front and rear silver skid plate garnishes on most models, and a standard shark fin antenna. An all-new wheel lineup and three new exterior paint colors (Silver Sky Metallic, Black Currant Metallic, and Electric Storm Blue) round out the exterior design.
Toyota listened to customer feedback, and added more refinement and technology to the interior of the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid. New features include:

  • Improved interior quality with more premium materials
  • Available 4.2-inch TFT multi-information display in a revised gauge cluster
  • Available 7-inch touch-sensitive display audio touch screen
  • Leather steering wheel
  • Updated interior shifter and window/lock control bezel material
  • Revised cup holder design to accommodate tall mugs with handles
  • New sunglasses holder
  • Additional USB added to front and one 12V power outlet added to rear
  • New interior colors (Tan, Beige and on SE a Tan/Black combination)
  • Soft touch material on upper door panel and lower dash

Additional convenience technologies include front and rear parking sonar, available Smart Key, and a Homelink® garage door opener (standard on Limited grade). All RAV4 models will come standard with SiriusXM All-Access Radio with a 3-month complimentary trial.

The 2016 RAV4 Hybrid will also offer a new Bird's Eye View Monitor. This Toyota-first technology utilizes four cameras that are mounted on the front, side mirrors and rear of the vehicle to give the driver a panoramic view of their surroundings. The system offers drivers assistance when parallel parking, and when pulling in and out of parking spaces. The Bird's Eye View Monitor system also has an industry-first feature called Perimeter Scan, that gives drivers a live rotating 360-degree view of what is around the vehicle, helping them see objects that could be in the way.

Toyota Safety That Makes Sense
The 2016 RAV4 Hybrid will be among the first U.S. models with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), a new multi-feature advanced safety package anchored by automated pre-collision braking.  TSS bundles cutting edge safety technologies including:

  • Pre-Collision System
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Lane Departure Alert
  • Automatic High Beams
  • Pedestrian Pre-Collision System
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

TSS will be standard on 2016 RAV4 Limited grades. 

The RAV4 started the small SUV segment craze 20 years ago. Five years later, Toyota introduced hybrids to the U.S market, raising the bar for high MPG at an affordable price. Each has helped change the automotive landscape in the U.S. The arrival of the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid will be a natural fit for young buyers seeking the winning combination of affordable SUV utility, and the high MPG of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive.
