The overall power reaches 329 PS, contributing to a more energetic and responsive driving experience.

The use of silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors in the power control unit (PCU) allows for an emission-free range of approximately 150 km.

RAV4 PHEV GR Sport

In the Japanese market, the RAV4 is available in the Z variant, which features exclusive black finishing.

For those seeking a sportier image, there is the GR Sport variant equipped with special features such as:

A more aggressive aerodynamic body kit, including a lip spoiler and rear spoiler
GR Performance Dampers by Yamaha

Interestingly, the battery pack is also used as a structural reinforcement for the chassis, enhancing body rigidity and lowering the center of gravity.

Power Supply Function

Owners can utilize this feature through a power socket located in the cargo space.

With a connector unit that plugs directly into the charging port, it transforms into an external 100V socket capable of delivering up to 1,500W of electrical power.

In emergency situations, the RAV4 PHEV can supply 400W of electrical energy for up to 6.5 days with a full fuel tank and a fully charged battery, or up to 7 days using the “Power Supply Time Priority” mode.
