Shop the Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid in Ames, IA

The RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid pairs the same 2.5L engine that powers every RAV4 with a larger 22.7 kWh battery, and Toyota estimates 52 miles of electric-only range before the gas engine needs to help at all. That is enough for most commutes into Ames, out to Ankeny, or a round trip to campus at Iowa State on electricity alone, if you can plug in at home or at work. Once the battery draws down, it drives like the rest of the hybrid lineup, EPA-estimated at 43 city, 36 highway, 40 combined MPG on gas, with a combined 96 MPGe rating that accounts for the electric miles.

We stock the plug-in hybrid in SE and XSE trim. Both keep standard all-wheel drive and a 3,500 lb maximum trailering rating, the same as the rest of the RAV4 range, though cargo room runs smaller than the standard hybrid, 33.6 cubic feet behind the second row on XSE, 33.5 on SE, to make room for the bigger battery. One real warranty difference is worth knowing: Toyota backs the Plug-in Hybrid with 36 months of unlimited-mileage roadside assistance, a year longer than the 24 months that comes with the standard RAV4 Hybrid. Every other warranty line, the 8-year/100,000-mile hybrid battery coverage included, matches across both.

This page spans both new and used because that is how we'd want to shop it ourselves. Right now every plug-in hybrid RAV4 we have is new; we have not had a used one trade in yet. If a used one comes in, it will show here automatically, so check back, or call and ask us to flag one for you when it does.
