If you can qualify for the $7500 electric-vehicle tax credit, the RAV4 Prime is a no-brainer, as the government's financial incentive lowers its price substantially-and you get a RAV4 with more power and a significant electric-only driving range. Still, the RAV4 Hybrid is a good-looking, practical, and comfortable small crossover that is frugal at the gas pump, which is more than enough for an SUV-loving American to feel good about. For those who want a little more involvement in the driving experience-remember, we're talking mainstream SUVs here, not sport sedans-there's the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Sportage. Too bad the RAV4 Hybrid's handling isn't sports-car sharp-quite the contrary, actually, as its noncommittal road manners aren't likely to satisfy drivers who value athleticism in their daily ride. For one thing, both are quicker than the nonhybrid RAV4-especially the Prime model which, amazingly, is capable of outrunning a four-cylinder Supra sports car to 60 mph. But their electrified powertrains come with other benefits too, specifically better performance. ToyotaCare is included with every new purchase, offering two years/25,000 miles of scheduled maintenance, and two years of roadside assistance.Like their distant cousin, the hybridized Prius hatchback, the 2023 RAV4 Hybrid and plug-in hybrid RAV4 Prime aim to bring impressive fuel efficiency to the compact-SUV segment.

The hybrid models also receive an eight-year/100,000-mile electrical component warranty. Bumper-to-bumper issues are covered for 3 years/36,000 miles, while the powertrain plan is valid for five years/60,000 miles. The warranty plan is pretty standard for the segment, too. The 2021 RAV4 Prime specifically had one other recall for headlights that could be misadjusted, leading to excessive glare for oncoming motorists. Hybrids were additionally recalled once for stability control that could be deactivated when the car is started. There have been no 2023 recalls as yet but for the 2022 model year, all RAV4 derivatives were recalled once for a front airbag that may not deploy. Power reliability review for the 2023 Toyota RAV4 yet, it did score 82 out of 100 overall in 2022 and 81 for Quality & Reliability, which is a very good result.
