It’s Now Clear How Much Gas the New Toyota RAV4 Uses per Mile

Last year, Toyota unveiled a new generation of the RAV4 crossover. The model is now gradually rolling out across its key global markets, where local agencies are putting it through independent testing.

One of the latest evaluations was carried out by Taiwan’s Bureau of Energy, which measures real-world fuel consumption for vehicles sold in the local market. According to the test results, the new RAV4 proved to be a highly efficient crossover, earning a top-tier Level 1 energy efficiency rating.

The sixth-generation RAV4 comes equipped with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine paired with a hybrid powertrain.

Based on the agency’s findings, the front-wheel-drive version delivers impressive numbers. In city driving, fuel consumption translates to about 55 miles per gallon, while highway driving reaches roughly 69 mpg. Combined fuel economy averages around 56 mpg.

All-wheel-drive versions consume slightly more fuel. In urban conditions, they average about 45 mpg, while highway efficiency comes in at approximately 54 mpg. Combined fuel economy is estimated at around 48 mpg.

The new Toyota RAV4 is currently offered in four trim levels — Luxury, Prestige, Prestige+, and Flagship — along with two special editions, Adventure and GR Sport. The latter two are available exclusively with all-wheel drive and produce up to 239 horsepower.

Depending on the market, the new RAV4 will be available not only with the hybrid powertrain evaluated in these tests, but also with conventional gasoline engines, including 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter options. Real-world fuel economy testing for those non-hybrid versions has not yet been conducted.
