AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/08 Report--

The all-new compact SUV Toyota RAV4 has been on the market overseas for a long time, while the new FAW Toyota RAV4 was not released until October 25 in China, with fuel and hybrid models. Unexpectedly, at the Los Angeles Auto Show not long ago, the new RAV4 PHEV version released by Toyota was exposed that it was about to be made in China. To be honest, this kind of efficiency is a little fast.

It has been learned from the China International bidding Network that FAW Toyota has carried out a tender project for the introduction and expansion of RAV4 PHEV models, which means that the RAV4 Prime models unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show not long ago are preparing for the preliminary work of localization and will be domesticated in the future.

From the RAV4 Prime model unveiled at the previous auto show, the plug-in hybrid model basically continues the shape of RAV4, but with slight adjustments in the details. A lot of chrome decoration is added to the air intake and elements such as longitudinal LED belt and black middle net, black bumper, black roof and black eyebrows are added to the fog area, as well as blue signs and signs on both sides of the wing panel.

The biggest difference is that the new car will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.5L Atkinson cycle engine and a motor. In pure electricity, the mileage is about 63km, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 2.6 L, the maximum power is increased to 302 horsepower, the acceleration of the new car at 0-96 km / h is 5.8 seconds, and it will also be equipped with four-wheel drive system.

The Prime model is Toyota's first plug-in hybrid RAV4. FAW Toyota RAV4 will have another plug-in hybrid version in the future, and it is also a new RAV4 in line with the new energy license. The new RAV4 has become a popular model as soon as it is listed in China. if the RAV4 PHEV is finally made in China, it will also enjoy the license plate dividend policy in some domestic traffic restriction areas, and perhaps it will have a lot of competitiveness after being made in China.

While Toyota is introducing RAV4 PHEV into China at such a fast speed, it is not difficult to see that Toyota is increasing the layout of the domestic new energy market and accelerating the landing of the electrification strategy. According to Toyota's plan, Toyota will launch 10 pure electric models in China by 2025.
