Family-hauler crossovers prioritize efficiency over outright performance, so the RAV4 is not particularly quick. The base four-cylinder engine takes around eight seconds to launch the SUV from 0 to 60 mph, but it has a decent top speed of 130 mph. Regardless, this is quite a bit slower than what the Mazda CX-5 is capable of with its most powerful motor. The RAV4 Hybrid variants have access to a little more power and come standard with the all-wheel drivetrain, but they are also heavier, meaning they are about as quick as their gasoline siblings. For genuinely rapid performance, the 302-horsepower RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid surprises with a 0-60 mph time of just 5.7 seconds. When it comes to towing capacity, the Toyota is actually well-endowed. The front-wheel-drive options have a maximum capacity of just 1,500 pounds - on par with the likes of the popular Honda CR-V. The remaining trim levels and all the hybrids get all-wheel drive, instead, which increases the hauling ability of the hybrids to 1,750 lbs and the TRD models to 3,500 lbs. With the PHEV, the towing capacity is 2,500 lbs. This is about the best you can hope for in the compact crossover segment.2022 RAV4 Performance Photos
Toyota Toyota ToyotaEngine and Transmission
Each of the gas-only RAV4s is powered by the same engine, a 2.5-liter four-pot that develops 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, it powers the front wheels on the LE, XLE, XLE Premium, and Limited, though each can be equipped with the all-wheel drivetrain that comes standard on the Adventure and TRD Off-Road. The motor isn't overly energetic, but the compact crossover isn't very heavy either. Still, it's far more suitable for puttering around town than trying to race past the competition on the highway. The hybrid variants take the same engine, tweaked to run on the Atkinson combustion cycle, but bolsters it with a pair of electric motors that increase total output to 219 hp. As with most hybrid automobiles, they rely on an ECVT transmission to simulate gear shifts. Although this powertrain has a bit more power, its focus is still on efficiency, so don't expect it to be that much more eager on the highway. At least it doesn't make quite as much noise when pushed to perform. The RAV4 Prime's 2.5-liter is bolstered by two electric motors to make a combined 302 hp. It also uses an ECVT transmission, but this model's extra power makes it far better to drive when joining highway traffic or overtaking.2022 Toyota RAV4 Performance Specs
