Top 10 best plug-in hybrids to buy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe front bumper has been redesigned with new fog light surrounds, a new grille pattern and lower lip. There\u2019s also GR badging on the front grille and bootlid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the RAV4 GR Sport you\u2019ll find sport seats up front upholstered in faux suede and synthetic leather. The headrest features the GR Sport logo and there\u2019s contrasting silver stitching on the seats, steering wheel and gear knob.<\/p>\n
Like the standard\u00a0plug-in hybrid Design, the GR Sport comes with the newly-updated 10.5-inch central touchscreen along with Toyota\u2019s latest infotainment system. The driver has a 12.3-inch digital display.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Toyota\u2019s \u2018Go Navigation\u2019 sat-nav is standard, as is wireless smartphone connectivity with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other features include a panoramic roof, powered bootlid, keyless entry, a reversing camera, a head-up display, a 360-degree camera and paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Powering the GR Sport is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine mated to an 18.1kWh battery powering two electric motors for a 302bhp total output – unchanged from before. Power goes through a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) but Toyota has tweaked the suspension with stiffer springs and a revised shock absorber so the GR Sport should at least feel a tad more responsive in the bends.<\/p>\n
