I have had my RAV4 PHEV for 2 years / 51000 km in Denmark with a lot of daily local driving and then some road trips to Norway, Sweden and Germany. It is really the best of both worlds (EV / ICE). EV only with lots of EV power in the daily city driving and sufficient EV power on motorways. Hybrid without range limitations or waiting time to charge on road trips with more than enough power in all conditions. My wife and I are wild life photographers (amateurs) so we appreciate the rather compact and very roomy car with light trail capabilities. No regrets and no problems. However, it has become more expensive and EV's have become less expensive since we bought it. We can't see us in a pure EV with the EV limitations. Sorry you can't get it - yet - in Australia as I assume it will fit nice for many of you.

Sounds like the PHEV is a good fit for you. In Australia we just don't have the sales volumes to get production to allocate numbers to us, so we're way behind the times (in many ways). I'm going back to Japan later in the year and hopefully the 2025 RAV4 new shape is available to see (PHEV I hope as well) and I'll just buy one there and import it back here. Quicker than waiting for Toyota here to decide.

I'm impressed Toyota could still manage to put a donut spare in a PHEV.

this is even more special than a regular rav4 i love the looks so much hopefully it will arrive or launch in australia 👏😊

I don't think we get the regular Prius in Australia anymore, which is a shame! Its good looking!

Imported 1 from japan to Australia last month , it’s fantastic

Just received our rav4 prime - called plug in hybrid -- 2 weeks ago here in France, built in Japan !! after a 7 months wait time. Such a fantastic car ! It really is as good as said !

I have a Rav4 Cruiser Hybrid in Australia and I'm impressed with it in terms of economy and driving performance and comfort. If the plug in Hybrid was available here I think it would sell very well as the road test demonstrates it's another level over the normal Hybrid. Having more electric range for local driving would be an advantage along with no range anxieties when on a road trip similar to the normal Hybrid. I waited 18 months for the present Rav4, so waiting wouldn't be a problem for me if I was in the market.

Great Video as always Paul! You do the best reviews and so thorough. Would love to see a review on the 23/24 Hybrid Corolla if you get a chance.

This would have sold out immediately if it came to Australia

Hi Paul, is there a chance a RAV4 Prime could be ordered and shipped from Japan to Australia? Since both countries use RHD

Nice work! I though the Prime was full battery like the Bz4x but know I know 👌

I have a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid and love it. I think the Prime is a perfect car for Australia to transition to full EV. The EV range would cover 90% of our driving and that's what I wish our current RAV had, a bigger battery. I've driven the Outlander PHEV but it feels so much bigger than the RAV.

Dealers do not make the final decisions what models are coming into the country. Only Australia Toyota HQ does. Toyota dealer works like a retailer. They too buys cars from Toyota HQ then sale it using a guide line set out by Toyota. Any mark up in pricing like paint protection is direct profit to the retailer. So servicing any vehicle is done by the manufacturer diagnostic computers. All diagnostic data will be recorded. Toyota HQ will know how much is being charged to the customer. Of course the dealer buying power is much cheaper and there are bonuses from HQ.

I'm not sure how they measure cargo space in Australia, but the regular RAV4/RAV4 Hybrid has a behind the rear seat cargo capacity of 37.5 cubic feet/1062L (69.8 cubic feet with the back seat dropped) vs the RAV4 Prime at 33.5 cubic feet/946 L. These numbers come from Toyota's US website. The Australian website lists 542 liters. Is there some law in Australia that prevents you from blocking the driver's rearward view by piling cargo to the roof?

You can import these from japan to australia. Expect 70-75k landed and conplied for a late 2022 model onwards to get fbt exemption. Earlier models with a few km could be low 60s

Yes australia should get this model simply for the performance spec not for fuel economy

Nice job Paul. Just to add a note about the batteries, plural, for those who want to know how that works. When you use up the juice in the18kWh plug-in lithium-ion battery, you still have the regular standard big iron hybrid battery fresh and ready to go. That extra lithium battery is the big reason for the big price. Is it worth it? Depends on individual needs and use maybe. You may never recover the savings in reduced gas usage since electric is not free either, but a large number of people will do most of their daily driving within the lithium battery range, and then recharge overnight for lower cost than gasoline, and have a true electric experience with the option when needed to drive farther on the gas engine than any all-electric yet conceived. Cheers from Costa Rica.

We've been waiting for our Rav 4 Hybrid Cruiser for almost 2 years now and we pick it up in a week or two. Can't wait to get it. If the Prime were available here, I would seriously consider swapping over. However, the extra cash involved would buy quite a bit of petrol and you may never get even. You would get good resale value, so maybe that doesn't matter so much.

Thanks for the review Paul. It is disappointing that we miss out on the Prime here in Australia. I heard how quick the Prime accelerates in the "dual power" mode. Certainly no slouch. I guess the issue would be here in Australia - would you buy a RAV4 for $75k ?

If anyone can spend $75K in Aust, then might as well spend another 10K -12K on the NX450+ without extras. it is also Toyota Prime but, with a Lexus badge.

Hi Paul, As you explained, front and rear axle are both electric motor and front axle connect to petrol engine, does that mean once battery is dead flat, this car will lose AWD ability and become a FWD only?

The current gov is introducing legislation which incentivises manufacturers to bring more green house friendly options to market. Perhaps we’ll get it then. If you want a plug in hybrid…. Outlander seems like a good choice atm.

No Doubt this is the best example of a PHEV going around. Proper power and economy. Unfortunately because of the improvements in EV price and range, the RAV4 PHEV is likely to become a dinosaur before it reaches Australian shores.

While Holden is gone, WTF do we still have LCT?

G'day Paul, another great review, could you please ask Scott to explain on his podcast why we shouldn't be buying PHEVs? I have a RAV4 AWD Hybrid on order 2.5 yr wait! but it has a caveat that I want a Series6 and a PHEV if available. It seems to tick all my boxes and 300hp is not to sniff at. The biggest argument I have heard is that people don't plug them in and just run them as Hybrids (stupid owners) If there is a technical reason I would like to hear it. This will be my last car and I want to get it right, you seem to like the RAV4 PHEV. I've never owned a Toyota it was a great dealership to work with much better that Honda Australia!!! Cheers - Richard

Official answer from Sean and Tim at Toyota (Paul - you know who these guys are) is as follows; "You also raise an interesting point about PHEVs. Market feedback tells us that very few people charge their PHEVs overnight; they simply drive them like a regular hybrid, which defeats the very purpose for installing a bigger, heavier battery. We think that’s because of the relatively limited EV-only range available for PHEVs with today’s battery technology. However, the technology is moving quickly with Toyota and others spending billions of dollars to develop smaller, lighter yet more powerful batteries, including sold-state technology. Our view is that, when these improved batteries are available, PHEVs may be able to offer a range of around 200km, which would make them far more practical. In short, it’s quite possible that you will see Toyota PHEVs available in Australia within a few years".

In theory you can get this car in Australia already as the Lexus NX450H+. Guy at work has one. Same car, different body and nice interior.
