Toyota says the name change is “intended to help consumers more easily identify the powertrain options” between the Prius and Rav4 models. The 2025 versions of the Prius Plug-in will also feature an updated “PHEV” (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) badge on the rear. The Rav4, on the other hand, will not have a blue halo in the Toyota logo, either front or rear.
Otherwise, the specifications of the new 2025 Prius models appear to remain unchanged – the plug-in version still has a 13.6 kWh battery with a maximum range of 71 kilometers in purely electric mode in the SE trim.
The Rav4 has an 18.5 kWh battery with an electric range of 42 miles and supports charging speeds of 6.6 kW. Charging takes about two hours on a Level 2 charger. (The Prius takes about four hours.)
