The figures below describe the RAV4 2.5 HEV GX. Other derivatives in this range differ.
| Engine capacity | 2.5 L |
| Cylinders | 4 |
| Power | 176 kWnoteTotal System Output 176 kW (Toyota SA); petrol engine alone 137 kW. Combined system output used as headline power, per the H6 convention. |
| Torque | 221 NmnoteToyota SA publishes the petrol engine's maximum torque (221 Nm) but no combined hybrid-system torque. Recorded unknown rather than storing the engine-only figure: it would sit on a different basis to the 176 kW combined system output above it, and would read misleadingly low beside turbo-petrol rivals that quote engine torque (~320 Nm). An honest 'Not published' beats a number on the wrong basis. |
| Transmission | CVTnoteToyota SA lists 'CVT' (recorded verbatim; the HEV uses a planetary e-CVT). |
| Gears | N/A |
| Drivetrain | AWDnoteDriven Wheels: AWD E-FOUR (electric rear axle). |
| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteToyota SA labels the figure 'Fuel Consumption (Combined Cycle)' / 'Estimated Fuel Consumption (Combined Cycle)' with no named test standard (no WLTP/NEDC/ADR). Classified sa_combined_unstated (rule 3). Label recorded verbatim; Toyota has disclosed no standard on any SA record to date. |
| Fuel consumption | 4.5 L/100kmnoteToyota SA compare page: 'Fuel Consumption (Combined Cycle)' 4.5 L/100km. |
| Fuel tank | 55 L |
| Fuel grade | 95 unleadednote95 only. Toyota requires unleaded petrol of at least 95 RON for this hybrid, so 93 is not suitable. |
| Range | 1 222 kmnoteWorked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down. |
| 0-100 km/h | 7.3 snote7.3 seconds, Toyota’s claimed figure for the 2.5 hybrid, as reported by two South African launch reviews. |

| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteNot applicable, established. Global NCAP (including its Safer Cars for Africa campaign) has not tested this vehicle. Euro NCAP’s RAV4 5-star result is the 2019 fifth-generation XA50 car and expired; this record is the sixth-generation XA60 launched in SA in mid-2026, which ANCAP confirms launched unrated. A rating is expected during 2026 — worth a re-check. Not applicable, established (Toyota gap-fill batch 1). Euro NCAP has not tested this vehicle.
