 Hey Chuck Schumann here with Oxmore Toyota. We have the 2021 XSC RAV4 Prime and what we're gonna do today is drive this a little bit We're gonna show you the different drive modes some of the cool features on the inside We let it charge a little bit overnight didn't get the full 12 hours, but we're gonna have some fun with this thing We'll talk to you soon Okay, so we have some different drive modes that are available on the RAV4 Prime and that's all controlled right here So the different drive modes you can have you can be in EV mode So EV is the electric motor only and so that's the ideal way to drive the RAV4 Prime That's what it was designed for you can get up to 42 miles on just the electric battery with the full charge And what's cool about that is most people's commute their daily commutes less than 20 miles So you charge this thing overnight It's cheaper than putting gas in the car and you can drive to work and back and never have to use any fuel So it's a great way to do that But the other thing you get with this not just the electric engine, but you get the gas So you also have range so you're not limited to two like three hundred at the max if you want to pay, you know A premium for an electric vehicle What this can do if you do the math on the what they're estimating the EPA Miles per gallon and the range and all of that you're getting probably close to 600 mile range on this thing You can drive this to the coast for vacation and never have to fuel up Which is just awesome and you can't do that in a all-electric vehicle But for your daily commute you're getting that all-electric gas saving fuel efficiency So you can do if you see right here, this is show me. I'm in EV mode. So this is all electric You can also do HV mode. So this is what you're used to if you have a hybrid right now from Toyota This is where it chooses for you to use the electric or the Gas engine to drive the car. So it's gonna be based on the driving conditions charge all kinds of different situations But the car decides for you now when you have both going the Gasoline and the electric engine you can also force it into sport mode. You see how it turned red there HV Sports so now what this is going to do is engage both engines when you drive to give you more power So this is how you reach that 302 combined horse power on this vehicle, which again is second only to the Supra as far as a zero to 60 takeoff the other thing that you can do On here, I will show you And go back to normal and then the auto EV Hybrid this again will decide for you where you send that power from the gasoline engine or the Electric engine as well. And then the last one that you can do I'm gonna hold this and you see it just switched to charge mode So what charge mode does is that forces the gasoline engine? So that's all you're using and that's actually gonna send power back So that is going to charge that electric engine for you so that you can Increase the range available on that as well using the gasoline engine So there's so many different ways to do this What we're gonna do is go for a little drive and show you what your morning commute would look like if you were using the EV mode so we've got the air on I've switched it to EV you just heard the gas engine cut off and we're gonna take Off and hop on the waters in here. So this is the XSE and you'll notice up here on the screen We have a map that's following us that little cursor is gonna follow us a little arrow there. So this is the built-in navigation You can have it be the full map as well You also have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto if you prefer to use the navigation in those two systems depending on which mobile phone You have so I'm gonna get around this car here. And so this is the top of the line Radio entertainment unit that you have here when you pay your phone all your Bluetooth pops up Hands-free calling and then the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is a really cool feature that's available On this vehicle you also have your safety connect. So you're different You can contact emergency services if you need that if the car were to be stolen if you were to get in an accident We're an airbag deployed. You will also have Assistants in that as well with the SOS connect you have that for a one-year trial from Toyota And I want to point out I'm an EV mode now if you're used to a hybrid vehicle By this point with my air on and I'm driving I was above 25 miles an hour it would have kicked over to the gasoline engine at some point already because the hybrid vehicle goes back and forth you can force the Prius or the hybrid, you know RAV4, Camry, Corolla Highlander the Venza Sienna you can force those into EV mode But it doesn't have as large of an electric motor as this vehicle does in the Prime and so you are limited in your range It's about a mile and about 25 miles an hour is the max you can do on those so you can force EV mode But it's very specific driving. This is for your everyday commute So if you live off of Shelbyville Road and you're going up to Waterston to get on, you know Westport or Brownsboro you can stay in that EV mode with an appropriate charge So I'm gonna go and we're gonna get on the Waterston here And what I'm noticing when I'm driving is there's no hesitation it picks up when I give it some gas It's responding. There's no, you know, kind of waiting for it to build up speed. It's just ready to go It just performs That's pretty cool Yeah, it's still an EV mode. I've got it set to that and we are Up to 50 I'm gonna merge with traffic here and I'm using no gasoline What's it above $3 a gallon right now, I don't want to use gas for my you know Two-mile commute that I do to work every day in this example I'm probably going a little bit too fast But I wanted to get around those cars and show you we got up to 75 miles an hour And I'm using just the electric engine and a hybrid vehicle This is pretty cool, and we weren't able to charge at the full, you know, 12 hours overnight like it recommends I'm only at about a half a charge and this is doing great. The dial is not dropping. I mean, this is fantastic And then I'm able to exit here and we're gonna turn around I want to see how it performs when I switch this and we go over into the We're gonna force it into the dual HV mode with sport. I want to see how this feels. I love that graphic there We can see the streaks of red and it made the speedometer there a bright red just a cool Big graphic right there. I also wanted to point out the radio that you see here. That is a nine inch screen So it's a nice big easy to see This is tuned but with JBL speakers great sound quality. I'm not gonna blast, you know my music here for you all today, but We're just all about how this car performs So down here, you'll notice that here's there's two levels that you could see so fuel and then down here is your battery charge So it actually shows you how much charge you have in your battery And then you would get indicators if we got too low and weren't able to be in EV mode like we were when we got here But we're about 50% there On that charge and we just plugged it in a little bit yesterday afternoon and then unplugged it and didn't let it run overnight But here we go. So we're gonna be in the full so it's using the gas and the electric engine. Oh I'll let him go. I'm not gonna be too aggressive in this thing Yeah, there's a difference there that is fun So this what it's doing now is it's me using the gasoline engine and the electric engine at the exact same time To give us maximum power. This is also an all-wheel drive. I'd like to point out In some of the forums I've seen the escape has a tiny bit there All-electric escape has a tiny bit more miles per gallon e But it's a front-wheel drive this is an all-wheel drive, so I'm having all four wheels engaged Both engines this thing performs. This is a fun little. Oh, we don't get a ticket, but it was worth it right here We were being safe Yeah, that thing that isn't sorry to my camera man here Kenny I mean have you slide in everywhere back there and I want to drive this more Yeah, in that mode that did not feel like driving a RAV4. That was we're in sport mode with the Hybrid the HV mode there Where it's using both the electric and the gas engine at the same time And I'm gonna push it back to normal and then we're back in EV mode so it stopped using the gas engine I'm back to all-electric And I'm still up at speed, you know, I could go another you know 10 15 20 miles whatever we were at 50% if it's 42 It's kind of the max on that I mean anywhere in Louisville, this is going to get you to your job if you got a full charge And that's a great thing. That's a lot of the electric cars. I think are made for Cities like where you're going to be going just in downtown moving around not a lot of space. This is for Where we kind of have that sprawl where you can go, you know from Dixie Highway out to Crestwood and You can do that in this with a full charge and never have to use any gas Which is just an awesome thing but then in the same token you can get on the highway and Head to the outer banks and be on vacation with this car and not have to stop and charge for 40 minutes in your All-electric vehicle. This is just a cool car, man Okay, so they made it very simple to charge this overnight So you park in your garage near your house and what they give you has a little outlet here and so if you Know where a charging station is you don't have to put a charging station in your house if you go to One of the charging stations they have a bunch of them all over the city It's going to charge this a little bit quicker. I think it's like four and a half hours to get a full charge If you're using the bigger outlet one of those charging stations But at your house all you have to do is plug this in if you see it's a little three prong outlet there You plug it in Any wall outlet and then this door here pops open Have a little cap here, which you can hang out of the way Plug that in and it lights up green It is charging You just do that, you know at night before you go to bed let it charge overnight and then you're commuting to work all electric Battery not using any gas but still having that range for family vacation if you need it Great work car great family car just a great car overall And that's the brand new xse rav 4 prime if you have any questions You want to schedule a test drive go to oxmortoya.com or give us a call at 502 214 7085
