Compared to the nissan leaf I had previous to this car for 3 years, the range and internal space is such a relief.

Why the 2014 Toyota RAV4 EV?

Powertrain performance

torque torque torque It has torque everywhere. In sport setting it actually gets scary. The car is really not able to get that much power transfered to the road reliable. In normal setting limited to 80mph, in sport to 100mph

Exterior styling

They changed a lot of things of the exterior of the rav4 when they installed the electric drivetrain. eg smaller mirrors to have less aerodynamic drag. I think it actually looks great

Front seat support & comfort

im my opinion the seats could have been a little more comfortable.

Color choices

Only 3 colors to choose from: pearl white, classic silver or darker blue

Why Not the 2014 Toyota RAV4 EV?

Interior styling

An electric car, with LED headlights butincandescent bulbs in the interiour ? I bought about $25 worth of LED bulb replacements and now everything is LED white instead of yellow bulb light. Gives the car a way more high tech look at night.

Conclusion

Why isn't this car more popular ?
More expensive than a nissan leaf, better range.
Only electric SUV available at the moment.
