The real crime is the fact that the Rev 4 is now a $50, 000 car.

That's impressive for a rav 4 I can definitely say I was shocked

[Name-kdjj]

This reminds me of the race they had on the American Top Gear. They had 3 police crown vics chasing one minivan. The minivan out ran the police cars. They police only catch people because they have numbers and resources. That's why if you are being chased by one cop and you outrun him before he can call in backup you're going to get away. But once the backup and helicopter shows up you're screwed.

Very impressive performance for the RAV.

A lot of comments that seem to be in regards to regular Rav4 Hybrids. This is a Rav4 Prime. It's about 10K more than the Regular Rav4 Hybrid, though there is a $6500 rebate on a lease. The Fed Rebate on a purchase no longer exists. The SE starts at around 46K. The XSE about 4K higher. 302 HP. 94 Mpge (I'm getting over 100 on mine). 42 mile range on an electric charge, though most owners report 46 to 48. 0-60 in 5.6 to 5.7 seconds in most tests. It's not as quick or handles as well as my sports car, but it's the fastest SUV, with the quickest acceleration, I have ever driven...by far. Is the 10K bump worth it? Depends on where you live and the cost of electric vs. gas, and also how much you drive. For me, the break even is around the 10 year mark, but the extra power alone is worth it to me. It's actually fun to drive... can't say the same for my previous Rav4 Hybrids or CRV Hybrid.

So a Rav4 is a better performance car than Hemi Dodge Charger. Damn Mopar that's sad

[colleeninga]

I have one!! I named it ZIPPY and I love it! Best car I have had, and I have had many over my lifetime! I absolutely love this car, drive in E mode to and from work, put gas in it MAYBE every three to four months! It is perfect for me, kids are grown and it is a fun car to drive. Thanks for this great review! No more "Griswold family truckster" jokes from my friends!

Nice! You should test the regular Hybrid more often too, not just the Prime, so people can actually know the “performance” os those cars.

I heard that when they sell the police car back to public, it is detuned. Not supposed to be as good as when cops drove it.

The wifey has this RAV4 Prime it’s the perfect bridge vehicle between a hybrid and EV. It will go 50 miles on a single charge, perfect for commuting. It will go 600 miles on a single tank of gas, so there’s no range anxiety like you have with an EV. There was even a $7500 tax credit at the time for a Plug-in Hybrid, before 2023. Great all around high performance sleeper!

An electric motor, even if small, makes a huge difference due to that instant torque. I'm also sure a police speced Charger is well over $50k.

I love it when the 1st video of the day is entertaining, informative AND puts a big smile on my face😂 Thanks!

We have a 2023 Rav4 hybrid. It's not a Prime, but it is fairly quick and gets great MPG.

As an owner of a Supersonic Red 2021 Rav4 Prime, I was intrigued at first about the performance of the vehicle, but after two years of ownership, I might have floored it once or twice to see what it has. I’ve been more intrigued with my EV range, hybrid range, and the handling characteristics of my Rav4 Prime.

Out of those three, only the handling characteristics of the Prime has left me wanting more when it comes to the driving dynamics of Toyota’s i-AWD system. It’s not that good.

[ageekandhistacoma]

Would love to see the Rav4 Prime against the older Rav4 with the 2GR-FE V6 in a drag race.

Dodge just announced the cop charger is headed to the chopping block.

[nlken]

I think the normal RAV4 Hybrid might be as a fast as that ol cop car. Prime as almost over 100hp that normal hybrid

Altitude in Colorado makes naturally aspirated cars totally gutless. I’m always amazed how slow rental cars feel when I go there because I live much closer to sea level. These guys are at around 5, 000 feet elevation and the RAV4 has electric motors assisting it. I drive a Charger and I’m not surprised LOL

5 speed tans is hurting the cop car. Chargers usually come with 8 speed.
