- Starting with 2025, the RAV4 Prime is now called the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid
- PHEV offers the same 42 plug-in electric miles then 38 mpg as a hybrid
- 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid prices start $175 higher than 2024 Prime
The Toyota RAV4 Prime changes its name to the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid for 2025, but otherwise remains the same.
The name change is meant to help customers more easily identify the plug-in hybrid within the RAV4 lineup, which also includes hybrid and non-hybrid models, according to a Toyota press release.

For 2025, the plug-in version of the RAV4 starts at $45,260, including the $1,395 destination fee. That’s for the mid-range SE, which is the entry point of the PHEV lineup; the loaded XSE costs $49,130. In both cases, that’s a price increase of $175 vs. the 2024 RAV4 Prime.
For now, the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid continues to offer 42 miles of EPA-rated electric range from an 18.5-kwh battery pack, as well as 38 mpg combined in hybrid mode. A 6.6-kw onboard charger can complete a full charge in 12 hours using a 120-volt Level 1 AC source; a 240-volt Level 2 AC home charger cuts that time to about two and a half hours.

A 2.5-liter inline-4 works with an all-wheel drive version of Toyota’s traditional hybrid system, meaning there’s a dedicated electric motor powering the rear axle—a setup that Green Car Reports has found does surprisingly well off-road in its EV mode. Total system its output is 302 hp, and Toyota estimates 0-60 mph acceleration in 5.5 seconds. That makes the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid one of the quicker vehicles in Toyota’s lineup, and it’s one of the few plug-in hybrid compact crossover to emphasize power and acceleration.
Those other crossovers include the 2025 Hyundai Tucson, which receives a sharper look for the new model year but trails the RAV4 with 33 miles of electric range. The related Kia Sportage plug-in hybrid manages 34 miles from a similar mechanical package. The Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid achieves 38 miles of EPA electric range while offering an occasional-use third row and DC fast charging—albeit with the anachronistic CHAdeMO standard.
The RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid is expected to arrive at dealerships later this year.
