Import Only From Japan RAV4 PLUGIN Hybrid

[Pablo]

Anyone school me on this.

Wife was prattling on about a (new?) Import Only From Japan RAV4 Hybrid

PLUGIN!

How is this vehicle different from generic RAV4 Hybrid??

 

[Owen Lucas]

IDK but I want one now! Maybe JDM build quality is better?

My 2023 Rav4 Hybrid was built in Canada. I see there other plant is in Kentucky.

I believe the PHEV version of the Rav4 is still only made in Japan.

My 2019 ICE was made in Japan. In 2019 you got Canada or Japan depending on the option set. Kentucky opened sometime in 2020.

I know that for a long time if you ordered the pano sun roof or the auto wipers on the Limited trim it came from Japan - not sure anymore.

I left the plugin part off the OP

When I get back to my pc I will search

Thanks!

You wife is referred to what was formerly sold as RAV4 Prime (now called RAV4 PHEV).
Comparing my Toyotas assembled at Motomachi, Japan vs. TMMI (in Indiana), yes the Japanese assembled ones have better fit and finish.

Isn't the plugin sold here? We call it Rav4 Prime.

Does Amsoil make 0w8? Yes, they actually use oil that thin in Japan!

Maybe you can claim you're importing it for "research" if you had a higher position within Amsoil

Yes and yes top model is called Prime

Yes viscosity is 5.7 cSt starting TBN is almost 10

It’s kinda funny I think it would be easier as an independent contractor than as an employee. Thanks for the idea!
