2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs 2024 Toyota RAV4


Overview

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the Toyota RAV4 Prime are both efficient vehicles loaded with intuitive technologies. But how do they compare against each other in some of the most important categories — cargo space, performance, and efficiency?


Cargo Space and Seating

If a spacious interior is a make or break for you, then it's important to check out the cargo space and seating for both of these vehicles. The RAV4 has a comfortable cabin and seating for up to five passengers. Larger families may enjoy the Outlander PHEV more since it has a cabin large enough to fit seven. The Outlander also boasts more passenger space across most categories and slightly more cargo space in total (64.3 versus 63.2 cubic feet.)




Performance

While the RAV4 offers more power with its 2.5-liter inline hybrid engine, the Outlander PHEV gives off more torque power at 332 pound-feet compared to 165 pound-feet. The RAV4 Prime includes an all-wheel drive system, ideal for versatile driving conditions. The Outlander PHEV, though, comes with Mitsubishi's Super-All Wheel Control four-wheel-drive system, which may be even more suitable for more adventurous drivers.





Comfort and Convenience

Both the RAV4 Prime and Outlander PHEV sport a standard 8-inch touchscreen display. However, soft-touch leather materials paired with available massage functions allow you and your crew to ride in comfort in the Outlander PHEV, which the RAV4 Prime doesn't offer.

If cargo space, torque, and interior comfort are priorities for you when choosing a new vehicle, the Outlander PHEV is worth checking out.
