Special LED day lights boost the advanced appearance. The Toyota RAV4 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is fitted with newly designed 19-inch RAV4 aluminum wheels. The machine-cut highlight spokes and black-enameled sides bestow a refined and luxurious appearance suited to city driving.

Comfortable heated seats are provided for drivers and front passenger seats, and seat heaters are standard equipment on the left and right rear seats. The Black Tone and G “Z” driver and passenger seats feature a ventilation function to improve comfort.


The new RAV4 comes with Toyota Safety Sense, which employs a pre-collision safety system that detects pedestrians at day and night, as well as cyclists during the day. It is fully equipped with safety equipment for safety and peace of mind, such as Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Parking Support Brakes (Stationary Objects) that helps reduce and/or mitigate damage from collisions during low-speed driving in parking lots, etc. The Display Audio displays a panoramic image of the vehicle surroundings with a bird-eye view, supporting rear visibility and enhancing safety by enabling viewing of blind-spots.
