Why Buy a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SUV in Breinigsville, PA

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is the electrified version of the bestselling SUV in the United States. In addition to the fuel economy benefits, there are many more perks to buying a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid here in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, from Krause Toyota.

Great fuel economy, obviously

With the assistance of two electric motors — one powering the front axles and the other powering the rear axle — the RAV4 Hybrid can make a single tank of gas go a lot further. The 2024 model gets an EPA-estimated 41 mpg in the city, 38 mpg on the highway, and 40 mpg combined. [1]

That beats the gas-powered RAV4 and even the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid compact cars on the market. If you’re commuting from Breinigsville to Allentown every day, or going even further beyond on family road trips, you can save a lot of money on gas refills over time with a hybrid SUV from Krause Toyota.

Quicker acceleration

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is more than a fuel-efficient version of the regular RAV4 — it’s quicker, too. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in about 7.4 seconds, an improvement of 8 seconds over the gas-only RAV4. That’s because the electric motors deliver their torque instantly, giving you lots of grunt at any rpm. You can feel this most while driving around Breinigsville, as the RAV4 Hybrid is more than happy to skip from one light to the next without trouble.

Standard all-wheel drive

Every new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid at Krause Toyota comes with standard all-wheel drive. One of the electric motors powers the rear wheels, while the other electric motor and the combustion engine power the front wheels.

This contributes to the SUV’s superior acceleration and also enhances traction in low-grip conditions, making the RAV4 Hybrid feel more confident to drive in bad weather and during harsh Pennsylvania winters. You’ll also have an easier time reaching out-of-the-way trails in Allentown, or getting to your friend’s farm for that backyard barbecue.

Awesome battery warranty

Many new car shoppers are concerned about the longevity of hybrid powertrains, particularly the lifespan of the battery pack. But Toyota is confident that the RAV4 Hybrid has what it takes to last you a long time. So confident, in fact, that it backs every model with an exceptional hybrid battery warranty that lasts 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. That’s a warranty that says everything you need to know about Toyota’s quality.

Quality trims to choose from

It’s easy to find a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid that meets your needs. It’s available at numerous trim levels including the LE, XLE, XLE Premium, SE, XSE, and Limited. The SE and XSE trims are unique to the hybrid model and not available on the gas-powered RAV4. They add features like a 9-inch touch screen, heated front seats, 18-inch multi-spoke black sport wheels, and stylish bi-LED projector headlights with accent lights. No matter your budget and needs, you’re sure to be able to find the right RAV4 Hybrid for you and your family at Krause Toyota.

Uncompromised space and features

Hybrid models from another manufacturers often make compromises — less space being a common one. With the RAV4 Hybrid, that’s not a problem. Toyota’s clever packaging of the battery has ensured the hybrid model offers just as much room as the gas-only models. That includes head, leg, hip, and shoulder room across both rows, as well as cargo room behind the rear seats and the front seats. When you tailgate before a local sports game, you get just as much space in a RAV4 Hybrid as in a regular RAV4 — in other words, a lot.

Additionally, other brands may limit hybrid models to just a single trim level. But because the RAV4 Hybrid is offered at nearly all the same trim levels as its non-hybrid counterpart, you can get all of the same features you love about the RAV4 on top of that great fuel economy.
