CORRECTION: The panoramic moonroof has been available on the RAV4 since 2019.

If you have a short commute and a spare plug, stopping at the gas station will become more like dentist appointments than runs to the grocery store. 42 miles of range comes from an 18.1 lithium-ion battery pack as two electric motors join the internal combustion engine to the powertrain party. You also get lots of space and amenities to make all your trips pleasant.  

In this video, I take you through the car, show you what features are offered and how they work. And then I take you on a drive to get a sense of how well it handles, the quality of the ride, and the overall experience.
