5th/6th Gen Hybrid (Toyota RAV4)

Not sure if an EB owner like myself can post a thread in the Hybrid sub forum? Also not sure if the Toyota latest Hybrid Gen belongs here either? But anyway, here goes:

Should you buy a (Gen 6) Toyota Rav 4 (plug in) Hybrid?
Excellent build quality with mind numbing complexity - Good or bad?

The GR Sport RAV4 is the “Lobo” of RAV4’s. Sport tuned suspension, brakes, custom body bits etc.

Over 300hp. 0-60 in the high 4’s to low 5’s. Fastest Toyota?

MSRP $49k+

I'll let the Administrator make that decision.

There are several fascinating hybrid technology advancements described in that video. Inquisitive minds would appreciate. You can be assured Ford Engineers (and others) have taken that RAV4 apart for analysis.

I can see my wife getting one. I'm not sure how quick she will get the itch but I'll try and convince her to skip the first year anyway.

Initial quality looks good so this first year. If your wife pulls the trigger now - maybe convince her to sell in 5 years as the warranty nears the end

The GR model in the post is the top end model btw. There are “XL” and “XLT” style trims that compete aggressively against the Maverick in price and features.
