This time, I created a comparison table of ” Harrier PHEV ” and “RAV4 PHV” that use “SUV” and “PHEV”. The longer overall length is the “ Harrier PHEV ”, but it can be said that it is almost the same size. 0-100km/h acceleration is the fastest among the two models. It is faster than Porsche’s SUV normal “Cayenne” normal “Macan”. In terms of WLTC mode fuel efficiency and EV mileage, the “RAV4 PHV” is slightly superior. Finally, regarding the price, the “RAV4 PHV” is cheap, about 810,000 yen to 1,510,000 yen . When compared in terms of cost performance, there is a winner, but if you consider the difference in interior texture, you may not feel the difference as a premium model.
