Toyota’s Heaviest Plug-In Hybrid Quietly Out-Ranges Its Own Prius Flagship

Plug-in hybrids are an interesting middle-ground that is either a “best of both worlds” or “worst of everything” proposition, depending on your mentality. While, yes, they’re less efficient than a pure EV or a pure hybrid, Toyota clearly thinks they’re worthwhile enough to offer two, the Prius Plug-In Hybrid and the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid. They even expanded the availability of the plug-in powertrain with the 2026 RAV4 to now include it as an option for the Woodland and new GR Sport trim in addition to the previously available SE and XSE trims.
