Published by Webster

Toyota says the name change “is intended to help consumers more easily identify the powertrain choices” among Prius and Rav4 models.

The Rav4, meanwhile, will no longer have a blue halo in the Toyota logo on both the front and rear.

It’s the same good-looking Prius, otherwise.Image: Toyota The Rav4 has an 18.5kWh battery with 42 miles of EV range, plus it supports 6.6kW charging speeds, which takes about two hours to charge up on a Level 2 charger.
