2012 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Review

2012 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Review - Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has been selling the Highlander Hybrid mid-size SUV for several years. But where’s the crossover hybrid? Since 2004, the company has allowed Ford to have top-mpg bragging rights for SUVs with its 32-mpg Escape Hybrid. Toyota has committed to an all-electric version of the RAV4—developed in partnership with Tesla—by around 2012. A conventional hybrid version, with mileage in the mid- to high-30s, makes good sense. Perhaps it will be branded with a Prius badge. The RAV4 Hybrid is due in spring 2012, but only the five-door model will get the hybrid option.
