Thinking About a Pre-Owned Toyota SUV?

If you're not ready for a new plug-in hybrid, pre-owned Toyota SUVs like previous generation RAV4 Prime models offer a compelling alternative. The 2021 through 2025 RAV4 PHEV models offered similar electric ranges, slightly lower horsepower (302 horsepower), and Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+. The latest 2026 edition builds on that with upgraded tech, more torque, improved fast-charging options, and a wider range of trims, including the all-new GR Sport.

Compared to previous model years, this new RAV4 PHEV delivers better overall driving engagement, more connected services, and greater utility for drivers who want a new car feel without giving up plug-in practicality.
