2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Features

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is a unique compact sport utility vehicle with a hybrid engine that gives you more power for less fuel, saving you money at the pump and saving the environment with every mile drive in the South Jordan, Salt Lake City, and Draper area. The RAV4 has special Toyota features that make it easy to drive and simple to understand. Brent Brown Toyota offers you a guide to what you’ll get with the 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

Hybrid Power and Performance

The 2016 Toyota RAV4 features a hybrid synergy drive that gives you power and economy on demand. The 2.5L 4-cylinder gas engine uses a dual overhead cam shaft and dual variable valve timing with intelligence, which produces an impressive 176 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque, with the whole system producing net power of 194 hp along with the permanent magnet electric motor. This gives it an impressive 34 mpg city and 31 mpg highway–excellent mileage in any SUV.

Electronic On Demand All Wheel Drive With Intelligence

The hybrid system includes an Electronic On Demand All Wheel Drive with intelligence. Most all wheel drive systems split torque and power between wheels depending on which wheel has the most grip at any given moment. This means that traditional all wheel drive systems sometimes have to play a game of catch-up on rapidly changing terrain. This intelligent all wheel drive system uses electronic sensors to monitor not only your tires, but other components of your vehicle, so it can send torque to your wheels instantaneously. Be confident on any terrain with AWD-i.

Hybrid Gauge Cluster

The RAV4 Hybrid features a unique gauge cluster which lets you monitor every crucial component of your Hybrid Synergy Drive with a mere glance. Check statistics like the system’s charging status and the amount of power left, as well as the amount of power it’s sending to the drive wheels. This helps you learn to drive more efficiently and get more power out of your Hybrid Synergy Drive.

Comprehensive Energy Monitor

The RAV4 features a state of the art energy monitor, which shows you how your hybrid synergy system is working. It provides information about your gasoline engine, as well as how it’s working with your electric motor and your battery. While you’re driving, it shows you how you’re using your power and how your battery is being charged. This gives you a complete idea of how well your engine is performing and helps you learn to drive to work with your hybrid synergy drive.
