- [Narrator] The Toyota RAV4 has been America's
best-selling SUV for the past three years,
and its amazing performance and bold looks
make it easy to see why.
And for 2021, that winning formula is fleshed out
even further with a new grade: the XLE Premium Hybrid.
Not to mention, this year welcomes the all-new RAV4 Prime
plug-in hybrid, with its optional EV-only driving
and the second-quickest acceleration time
in the entire Toyota lineup.
So let's find out more about why RAV4
continues to lead its segment.

Designed on Toyota's TNGA platform,
this fifth-generation RAV4 offers a refined driving
experience suited to both everyday travel
and trail-blazing adventures.
There are now 13 different RAV4 grades,
five of which feature Toyota's hybrid powertrain technology,
and two of which showcase the latest
plug-in hybrid technology.
Each grade offers a different take on the RAV4 experience,
so that everyone can find the vehicle
that fits their lifestyle.
Popular grades like LE and XLE,
round out the core RAV4 lineup,
while the Limited grade represents the top tier
for both hybrid and non-hybrid versions.
Meanwhile, RAV4's hybrid options have expanded to include
a new XLE Premium Hybrid grade
that bridges the gap between XLE Hybrid and Limited Hybrid.
And finally, the new RAV4 Prime is offered in a sporty SE
and fully loaded XSE grade.
But regardless of grade, RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Prime
both offer impressive fuel economy,
fewer trips to the pump
and, of course, no need to plug in,
unless you want to enjoy Prime's EV-only range.
So, whether you're tackling a long and winding back road
with XSE Hybrid or a dusty trail with the Adventure grade,
this RAV4 is built to handle nearly anything in its path.

RAV4 boasts a sporty appearance thanks to its low
and wide dimensions, as well as a long wheelbase
that helps the vehicle achieve
an unmistakably athletic stance.
Its exterior can vary noticeably depending on the grade,
with an available two-tone paint scheme on select models,
exclusive black accents on XSE Hybrid,
and Super Chrome-finished alloy wheels on select models,
including the new XLE Premium Hybrid.
Plus, RAV4 Prime XSE can be equipped with
an Adaptive Front Headlight System
that adjusts automatically to light the road ahead,
and it also comes standard
with 19-inch two-tone machined alloy wheels,
the largest ever offered on a hybrid-electric RAV4.
Additionally, TRD Off-Road also offers its own aggressive
flair through matte-black alloy wheels and LED fog lights.
RAV4's exterior isn't all about looks though,
which is obvious in standard convenience features
like roof rails and folding side mirrors,
and available features like the Smart Key System
and power liftgate, both of which come standard
on the new XLE Premium Hybrid.

Inside, RAV4 strikes a perfect balance
between convenience and comfort.
This can be seen in its available dual-zone climate control
system and available vents for rear occupants,
a center console with spacious storage,
60/40-split folding and reclining rear seats,
as well as available heated front and rear seats,
and ventilated front seats.
And like its gas engine counterpart,
the new XLE Premium Hybrid and RAV4 Prime XSE
feature standard SofTex-trimmed seating
and a power moonroof, while select models and packages
take it a step further with an available
power panoramic glass roof.
Meanwhile, TRD Off-Road provides added style
through its sporty interior accents,
including TRD all-weather floor mats and bold red stitching.

While RAV4's stylish approach has certainly made its way
into the interior, it's the modern technology
that takes center stage.
RAV4 features Toyota's Audio Multimedia system
with a 7- or 8-inch touchscreen display,
while RAV4 Prime XSE comes standard with a 9-inch Audio
Multimedia touchscreen, which is the largest ever for RAV4.
And all RAV4 grades include standard compatibility
for Apple CarPlay, which connects drivers to Apple Music,
Maps, Messages, and other favorite apps from your iPhone.
In addition, Android Auto compatibility
makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices,
while Amazon Alexa connectivity keeps Amazon's digital
assistant just a question away.
Plus, there's a three-month SiriusXM All Access trial
subscription to more than 300 radio channels
accessible throughout the country.
And when paired with the available JBL sound system,
RAV4 will have no problem sound tracking
that next big adventure.
RAV4 also keeps everyone connected
with its full line of available Connected Services,
including trials for Remote Connect, Service Connect,
and the standard Safety Connect and Wi-Fi Connect.

True to Toyota form, RAV4 is loaded with modern safety tech.
Key among these is Toyota Safety Sense 2.0,
an advanced bundle of active safety systems
that includes a Pre-Collision System
and Lane Departure Alert, as well as Lane Tracing Assist
and Road Sign Assist.
RAV4 also features the Star Safety System, eight airbags,
an available Blind Spot Monitor with
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert system,
available front and rear parking assist,
and an available digital rearview mirror on select models
that helps drivers see more of what's behind them.
Finally, RAV4 Prime can also be equipped
with a Bird's Eye View with Perimeter Scan
to help drivers notice those hard-to-see objects.
RAV4 has plenty of performance to match
its high-tech features, starting with a powerful 2.5-liter
engine under the hood.
And now, RAV4 Prime takes plug-in hybrid performance
to new heights, with a hybrid-electric powertrain
that produces 302 combined net horsepower,
a massive 83-horsepower jump over RAV4 Hybrid.
Its the fastest RAV4 ever,
with a projected zero to 60 acceleration
of just 5.7 seconds.
Not to mention, since its a plug-in hybrid,
RAV4 Prime also has an EPA-estimated 42-mile EV-only
range rating.
Plus, with three all-wheel-drive systems to choose from,
RAV4 can hit the trails like never before.
These systems include the base All-Wheel Drive
found on the core gas grades,
the Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive
with Rear Driveline Disconnect available on Limited,
and standard on Adventure and TRD Off-Road grades,
and the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive
standard on hybrid and plug-in hybrid models,
a perfect showcase for what a hybrid powertrain
is truly capable of.
Finally, all-wheel-drive-equipped gas models
feature Toyota's Multi-terrain Select system,
which allows drivers to choose a preset that helps maximize
traction in snow, sand, and other challenging environments.
And to that end, the TRD Off-Road grade includes
additional terrain-tackling goodies,
like aggressive off-road-inspired tires
developed by Falken specifically for RAV4,
and a new for '21 TRD-stamped stainless steel
front skid plate.

In summary, its clear that this feature-packed SUV
delivers more and more value each year.
And while its different grades each have their own unique
personality, they're all more than capable of handling
twists and turns along the journey.
That's why XLE Premium Hybrid still feels right at home
on backcountry dirt roads,
and why TRD Off-Road is perfectly capable
of running everyday city errands.
And for something even more electrifying,
the new RAV4 Prime brings untold innovation
to the plug-in hybrid electric SUV segment,
with its winning combo of performance,
capability and efficiency.
Now factor in Toyota's reputation for quality,
durability and reliability,
its famously strong long-term cost estimates,
the two-year ToyotaCare No Cost Maintenance plan
with Roadside Assistance,
as well as exceptional hybrid warranty coverage
like the 10-year, 150,000-mile Hybrid Battery Warranty,
and RAV4's value proposition is hard to beat.
