The highway mpg numbers aren’t accurate. They are actually better. I average 35-39mpg on the highway at an avg 70 mph. It’s does drop closer to 34 mph at 75 mph.
Does the horsepower increase in the Hybrid translate into increased highway speed and passing ability? or does it only help at 0-60 and low end torque?
31MPG highway, even though it is AWD (electrically driven), .. that is not impressive at all for an Atkinson cycle engine. It should be in the high 30s IMO. It's not even as good as the crappy Subaru Crosstrek hybrid of 34MPG highway, and that does not have an Atkinson cycle engine in it, just regular OTTO cycle. Prius V is 44MPG. Why is the engine thermal efficiency so unimpressive Toyota? The Prius is 40%, 55-60MPG is easily achievable.
are you being willfully ignorant? you list the rav4 highway mileage of 31mpg, and say the prius V gets 44. at least be honest. the rav 4 gets 33 combined and the prius V gets 42 combined. that's a 9mpg separation, and you get 3 seconds faster 0-60, 60 more horsepower, a 610 lb heavier car with AWD.
The prius v should have been desighed just like this but with its small wheels. That rear hatch opening is big.

Excellent review.Very comprehensive.
I only received around 330 miles before my fuel light came on. Why is that ? I was really wanted at least 450-500 miles on a full tank.
I have the 2017 and i get 35 mpg...

Passing ability is a breeze. This thing is a sleeper.
nice review, how reliable is this car?
+Super Jozzef It's a toyota. It's built like a brick shithouse. This thing will last you 10+ years
should be more reliable than anything else out there. The engine and transmission are the most simple design without all the clutches and less gears.
Should last lifetime
I only get 280 mpg on a full tank, toyota dealers service they don't know hybrids car. Im not impressed.
I got sane RAV4 hybrid and I burn fool tank of fuel 37 mpg in city!!!!!!!!
