The new generation of the RAV4 crossover revealed last year.

In the Network published photos of the tests of the RAV4 crossover. If you look closely, you can see the charging port, an indoor fabric that suggests that we have before us a rechargeable hybrid.

This writes the Chronicle.info with reference to motor.ru.

In appearance no change happened, which makes sense — the manufacturer is testing a new powerplant, so the only change was the appearance of additional flap for the charger. On a conventional RAV4 fuel filler door is on the driver’s side, on a test prototype, it is located on the passenger side and also covered with black cloth.

About the model while it is known very little. Most likely, part of the powertrain will be a 2.5-liter engine as in a hybrid RAV4. Its capacity is 176 HP and 221 Nm of torque.

At the same time, there is a huge probability that a rechargeable RAV4 will receive a more powerful motor and higher capacity battery. In the end it can provide crossover mileage up to 50 miles just on electricity.

No data on the approximate timing of the presentation or the start of sales there. If the model will be introduced on the market in the coming months, it has all chances to become the most popular rechargeable hybrid. Now the new competition can only make the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but Toyota is likely to win at a cost.

In addition to standard petrol and diesel modifications also introduced a hybrid version. In sum benzoelektrosila powerplant produces 202 horsepower and allows you to move short distances without starting the engine.
