Plug-in hybrid cars are getting more and more impressive, boasting astonishing fuel-efficiency claims and electric-only driving ranges that mean their fuel tanks are basically part-time. And this year’s clear favourite, according to owners, is the Toyota RAV4. Today’s RAV4 is very different to the utilitarian 4x4 that first bore the name in the mid-90s, now transformed into a modern, fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid crossover SUV. That’s why it pipped the excellent Hyundai Tucson and the popular Ford Kuga to the top spot.
"Toyota is no stranger to hybrids and it shows in the plug-in iteration of the RAV4, which is clearly winning over owners with its cheap running costs, smooth driving experience and strong reliability record," says Autotrader YouTube Director Rory Reid. Nice one, Toyota. Return to the New Car Awards homepage
