Both the 2025 Toyota RAV4 and the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) are adventure-ready SUVs with the performance and utility to easily transition between daily commutes and rugged excursions. Compare the key differences before heading to your Toyota dealership to see them in person. Gas vs. Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain The most notable difference between the gas-powered RAV4 and the PHEV is the powertrains. The traditional RAV4 packs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder under the hood for 203 horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid version delivers a combined 302 hp, thanks to the electric motor. Electronic all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission are also standard on the PHEV, while the gas model comes with an eight-speed automatic and can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. Fuel Efficiency The traditional RAV4 has impressive fuel efficiency ratings, especially for an SUV. The front-wheel drive models are rated for 27 mpg in the city, 35 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg combined, so you can feel confident embarking on long trips. However, if you want to save even more time and money at the pump, the PHEV models are rated for 40 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 38 mpg combined. Plus, the hybrid battery and electric motor offer up to 42 miles of all-electric driving range, so you can make short trips around town without using any gasoline at all. Just plug it into a 240-volt charger when you get home, and it'll be ready to go again in 2.5 hours. The PHEV also boasts a Super Ultra Low emission rating compared to the Ultra Low rating of the gas-powered option. Selectable Drive Modes Both the RAV4 and RAV4 PHEV come with a standard selectable drive mode dial. The base RAV4 with front-wheel drive lets you choose between SPORT, NORMAL, and Eco modes, and upgrading to all-wheel drive adds Multi-Terrain Select with modes for MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, and SNOW. The PHEV also features the three standard modes, plus EV, HV, AUTO EV/AV, and CHARGE modes. Towing Capacity If you need your SUV to tow trailers or other equipment, both RAV4 models have your back. The gas-powered option can haul up to 1,500 lbs, comes with an automatic transmission fluid cooler, and can be optioned with a tow hitch receiver and wiring harness. If you need more serious towing capability, the PHEV's extra power equips it with a maximum rating of 2,500 lbs. While both models are efficient and well-equipped, the choice mostly comes down to whether you need the efficiency of the plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Privately selling a car and choosing to trade a vehicle in at the Toyota dealership are both good options when you want to get your old Toyota off your hands. There are benefits associated with both, and the trade-in benefits are sure to appeal to a vast group of people. 1. Your Trade-in Benefits by Saving Time Trading in your car is streamlined and convenient. You don't have to act like a salesperson and create a listing for your car, chat with buyers, go out on test drives, and do everything else that comes with privately selling a vehicle. All of that can take weeks, but trading in your car only takes a few hours or less. You just need to research the market value of your vehicle before you visit the dealership, giving yourself the power to negotiate. Once you arrive at the dealership and announce that you're ready to trade in your vehicle, everything there is quick and straightforward. The most you have to do now is negotiate a decent price. 2. Your Trade-in May Let You Save on Repair Costs You always need to fix major problems before trading in your vehicle, but you might be able to trade in without paying for minor fixes, such as replacing wear-and-tear components. Dealerships are sometimes more lenient than private buyers and could be willing to pay for a vehicle that needs some TLC. 3. Your Trade-in Could Let You Downsize for Free If your needs change, and you want to downsize to a smaller or simpler vehicle, then you could, potentially, get the new vehicle for free or for a low price. This applies to people who bought their trade-in in the last few years, so you'll still get an exceptionally fair price when you trade it in. The amount you get when you trade it in may just be high enough to cover the cost of the car you're downsizing to. 4. Your Trade-in Can Lower the Sales Tax There are no tax benefits if you sell your car privately and use the money from the sale to help fund your new vehicle. It doesn't matter if you can pay $10,000 off a $30,000 car up front, to give an example using random numbers. However, if you trade in your vehicle for $10,000 and apply that trade-in credit to a $30,000 car, then you only pay sales tax on the remaining $20,000 of the vehicle's value if you're buying a new car and not a used one. Come enjoy all the benefits of trading in at Toyota of Kent in Kent, OH. We open at 9 AM six days a week.
