The Honda CR-V Hybrid and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid consistently rank among the top hybrid SUVs in terms of sales and customer satisfaction. Both models have a long history of consumer trust, with the RAV4 Hybrid often praised for its rugged design and reliable performance, while the CR-V Hybrid is known for its spaciousness and family-friendly appeal.

Toyota’s Prius had its full glow-up redesign for 2023, and now the automaker is switching up what it’s called, too. The 2025 Prius Prime will now go by a more straightforward name: the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. The same goes for the Rav4 Prime, which is now called the Rav4 Plug-in Hybrid.

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is a best-selling vehicle, but how well does it retain its value? Here's how much the RAV4 Hybrid loses in five years.

The only real change Toyota made to the 2025 RAV4 is dripping the Prime name from the plug-in hybrid option—from now on it will be known as the Toyota RAV4 PHEV. Toyota says the move is aimed at clarifying powertrain hierarchy and making shopping easier for consumers.

Toyota is moving away from calling its plug-in hybrid models Prime, instead defaulting to simply Plug-In Hybrid. The change is reflected in the 2025 model-year Prius and RAV4 models. Toyota says the ’25 RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid models are scheduled to arrive at dealerships in limited quantities before the end of the year.

The RAV4 PHEV offers the same 42 electric miles as last year's model, only it no longer wears the Prime badge.

Built in Japan at the Obu plant, one of Toyota's best, the execution of the Rav4 PHEV is flawless. It receives better paint and has immaculate fit and finish inside and out. Red stitching on soft-touch cabin materials lends a Germanic luxury feel.

RAV4 Prime’s position and powertrain technology more clear, Toyota is rechristening its plug-in hybrid SUV as, simply, the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.
