INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
An all-new version of Toyota's bestselling RAV4 crossover debuted last night
For generation six, Toyota North America is going all-electrified, with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains on offer
And while the RAV4 isn't quite a software-defined vehicle as we understand the term, it features an all-new software platform tying
everything together.Toyota has grouped the various RAV4 configurations into three groups: core, rugged, and sport
And there are three different powertrain options: front-wheel drive hybrid, all-wheel drive hybrid, and all-wheel drive PHEV, although some
trims are only available in certain configurations.Front-wheel drive hybrid RAV4s feature a 226 hp (168 kW) 2.5 L engine, with all-wheel
drive hybrid models offering a slight increase at 236 hp (176 kW)
The PHEV generates a combined 320 hp (239 kW), and Toyota says it can go 50 miles (80 km) on a single charge.Better efficiency is thanks in
part to the adoption of more efficient silicon carbide inverters, although the battery has also increased in capacity
