Toyota RAV4: Available Hybrid Technology

2021 Toyota RAV4 Engine Specs

Fuel economy starts with the engine, and the 2021 Toyota RAV4 does a great job by providing a standard 2.5L Dynamic Force 4-Cylinder engine. With up to 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, you’ll have an energetic drive that’s great for road trips. What’s even better for road trips is this SUV’s EPA-estimated 27 city MPG and 35 highway MPG.1

If you’re really after the best fuel economy possible from this vehicle, though, you’ll want to upgrade to the available hybrid engine. This system pairs the 2.5L engine to a multi-electric motor assist with 219 net horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque. You can expect up to an EPA-estimated 41 city MPG and 38 highway MPG for even more fuel-sipping performance.1

Fuel-Optimizing Technology

In order to make the most out of your fuel, this SUV is designed with a number of fuel-saving features. Drivers using the hybrid powertrain will have an Stop and Start Engine System to help them save battery power and gas. When your vehicle comes to a complete stop, the system will shut off automatically, like when idling at a red light.

If you’re not using the hybrid system, you still have some features that work to ease up your gas consumption. Among them is an available Drive Mode Select feature with an ECO mode. Turn this mode on and your vehicle will limit your acceleration to allow for better fuel economy.

Are you interested in getting the hybrid version of this vehicle? With this model, you’ll have access to an EV mode, which works purely off electric power on demand. If you want to really give your fuel economy a boost, this feature will make sure you can really keep your fuel consumption low.

Standard 8-Speed Transmission

2021 Toyota RAV4 Transmission Specs

Further improving your gas consumption is a standard Direct Shift 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission. This finely tuned transmission maximizes your performance to allow you to achieve the right amount of power without having to use too much fuel.

To enhance this transmission, there’s also a sequential shift mode that allows you to control when you shift for maximum efficiency. You’ll be able to tailor your driving experience by directly dictating when you upshift, allowing you to achieve the ideal fuel economy. Whether you want high RPMs or higher gears, the sequential shift mode puts performance in your hands.

If you choose the hybrid model of the Toyota RAV4, you’ll enjoy a Continuously Variable Transmission. This transmission is designed to remove gears altogether and provide you with a spectrum of shift points, so you’re always working with the shift point that’s right for you. With this transmission, you’ll have ideal power every time, so you’re always using the optimized amount of fuel.

Drivetrain Options

In order to give you options with your fuel economy, you’ll have the ability to choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. While front-wheel drive offers better fuel economy, you can equip your ride with available Electronic One-Demand All-Wheel Drive which lets you improve your fuel economy on demand while still having access to all-wheel drive.

Helpful Information Display

2021 Toyota RAV4 Interior Dashboard

In order to provide you with a full understanding of your vehicle’s condition, you’ll have the help of the standard 4.2-inch Multi-Information Display. This feature is designed to provide you with a host of data that will give you an idea of how your vehicle is doing.

If you want a bigger screen to work with, you can upgrade your vehicle with an available 7-inch Multi-Information Display. This feature will provide you with even more functionality along with an easier-to-read display. Some of the information you can read from this helpful display include:

  • Fuel Economy
  • Hybrid Energy Monitor
  • Shift Position
  • Schedule Maintenance Indicators

Finally, to make sure you can catch tire pressure issues before they arise, you’ll have the help of the Tire Pressure Monitor System. This feature will provide you with a reading on the pressure of each of your tires so you can maintain your vehicle as early as possible and keep your fuel economy in peak condition.

Aerodynamic Design

One of the most helpful design elements of the Toyota RAV4 is its aerodynamic engineering. Air resistance can force your vehicle to work harder to reach higher speeds, which is why you want to have a vehicle that can glide through the force of air against your SUV.

With the Toyota RAV4, you’ll have a vehicle that’s designed with a sleek body that guides air off the windshield and over the top of the tailgate. Thanks to the effortless motion of this SUV, you can expect to accelerate with ease, especially when you’re driving on the highway.

Fuel Saving Tips

An important part of saving your fuel is knowing how to improve your driving habits. How you drive plays a key role in how much fuel you use, so you want to know some of the ways you can go easy on your powertrain. Some of the important tips for saving fuel include:

  • Avoid pressing on your throttle too hard
  • Try to slow down by letting off the throttle before pressing on the brakes
  • Make sure your tires are kept at their recommended pressure
  • Get your recommended maintenance regularly
