Toyota Drops Prime Name for 2025 RAV4 and Prius Plug-In Hybrids
#toyota #toyotapriusprime #prius
Toyota has announced that the RAV4 Prime and Prius Prime will now become the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid and Prius Plug-in Hybrid.
The only differences for 2025 are the badges, with a PHEV badge appearing on the rear and the plug-in RAV4 dropping the blue accents from its Toyota emblems.
Both plug-in-hybrid systems carry over unchanged, with both vehicles able to travel over 40 miles on electric power alone.
Toyota was an early adopter of plug-in-hybrid powertrains, first entering the segment in 2012 with the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. The PHEV version of the Prius took on the name "Prime" when it returned for another generation in 2017, and Toyota added a Prime version of its popular RAV4 crossover for the 2021 model year. Now, Toyota has announced that the Prime moniker will soon disappear into the archives, with the brand reverting to its old naming scheme with the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid and RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.
