Detailed analysis of the Toyota RAV4 hybrid 2WD Advance · 143 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2016 Toyota RAV4 hybrid 2WD Advance presents itself as a very interesting option within the SUV segment, combining the efficiency of its hybrid system with the versatility and space expected of a vehicle of these characteristics. With a price of 30,850 euros, this model offers a balanced proposal for those looking for a family car that is comfortable and has adjusted consumption.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the hybrid RAV4 conveys a feeling of smoothness and comfort. The combination of the 2.5-liter gasoline engine and the electric motor, with a combined power of 143 hp, allows for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, which is more than enough for most situations. The CVT automatic transmission, although it can sometimes generate a somewhat monotonous sound during strong accelerations, contributes to relaxed and jerk-free driving. The electric power steering is precise and the car feels agile in urban environments, while on the road it offers good stability. The approved combined consumption of 4.9 l/100km is a strong point, making this RAV4 an economical travel companion.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2016 Toyota RAV4 is robust and modern, with lines that give it an imposing presence on the road. Its dimensions, with 4605 mm long, 1845 mm wide and 1675 mm high, place it at the heart of the compact SUV segment. The front stands out for its distinctive grille and sharp headlights, while the rear maintains a clean and functional aesthetic. The interior, although not the most luxurious in its category, is well resolved, with quality materials and an ergonomic design. The 501-liter trunk is spacious and very usable, ideal for the needs of a family.
Technology and features
Toyota's hybrid technology is the heart of this RAV4. The system combines a 2494 cc gasoline engine with an electric motor, powered by a 1.59 kWh nickel-metal hydride battery located at the rear. This configuration allows the vehicle to run in all-electric mode at low speeds and under certain conditions, contributing to the reduction of emissions and consumption. In addition, it has a regenerative braking system that recharges the battery during deceleration. In terms of safety, it incorporates elements such as ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs, and a well-tuned suspension for good dynamic behavior.
Competition
In the competitive segment of hybrid SUVs, the Toyota RAV4 hybrid 2WD Advance faces strong rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai, the Hyundai Tucson or the Kia Sportage, although the latter did not always offer such developed hybrid versions in 2016. It also competes with models such as the Honda CR-V or the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, each with its own strengths in terms of space, equipment or plug-in hybrid technology. The RAV4 stands out for its proven reliability and its efficient hybrid system, which gives it the DGT ECO label.
Conclusion
The 2016 Toyota RAV4 hybrid 2WD Advance is a very sensible choice for those looking for a spacious, comfortable and, above all, efficient SUV. Its hybrid system, the inherent reliability of the Toyota brand and its ECO label make it a very attractive vehicle for daily use and long trips. Although its interior design may not be the most avant-garde, it more than fulfills its function in terms of functionality and quality. It is a car that offers peace of mind and low running costs, a winning combination for many drivers.
