Toyota produces two SUVs in Brazil, the Corolla Cross and the Yaris Cross, but the one that stands out the most is a third, the imported RAV4. The model is a plug-in hybrid that arrives this April, but there is already a pre-sale operation for this car.

The SUV has a two-and-a-half-liter flex combustion engine that works together with an electric set. In the case of front-wheel drive, the model provides 268 hp, but in the case of all-wheel drive, the same 2.5 flex engine, along with two electric motors, is capable of providing a total of 304 horsepower.

The electric range of the RAV4 is about 100 kilometers. It enters the same segment as the Haval H6 or the BYD Song Plus, but is the only flex among them.
