The “Harrier PHEV” is longer in overall length, but it is almost the same size class. 0-100km/h acceleration is the fastest of the two models. It is faster than Porsche’s normal Cayenne SUV and normal Macan. The RAV4 PHV has a slight edge in WLTC mode fuel economy and EV driving range. Finally, in terms of price, the RAV4 PHV is cheaper by 810,000 to 1,510,000 yen. Although the RAV4 PHV has the advantage in terms of cost performance, the difference between the two premium models may not seem so great considering the difference in interior quality and other factors.
