The RAV4 is well known in the UK, arguably changing the motoring landscape back in 1994 by kickstarting the switch from hatchbacks to SUVs. That early model promised we’d all go to the beach, do some surfing, and then fire up a barbecue.
The reality of life is rather more mundane, so the RAV4 has evolved into something more useful; a chunky, effective, family moving SUV with four-wheel drive ruggedness and modern technology abound.
Now it’s got a powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain, ready to bring planet-saving economy to the appealing mix.
