2022 Toyota RAV4 2.5 PHEV Dynamic 5-door Estate

Description

I’ve had this RAV4 for just over a year now, and it’s been one of the most reliable and enjoyable drives I’ve ever had. It’s a 2022 model, 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid, Dynamic trim — finished in red with black accents, so it stands out a bit without looking flashy. First registered in late 2022 (72 plate), and it’s been kept in great condition with regular servicing.

The hybrid bit is actually a big deal — it’s got up to 46 miles of pure electric range (WLTP), which means I’ve managed to get away with charging it at home and only using the petrol engine when needed. The 302bhp combined output gives you a punchy drive, and the CVT transmission feels smooth, not jerky. No need to worry about emissions or fuel bills when you’re driving it regularly.

Inside, it’s pretty well set up — leather seats, heated front seats, ambient lighting, and that big 9-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I use it every day for commuting and weekend trips, and it’s easy to navigate. The panoramic rear camera helps when parking, and the power tailgate makes loading gear a breeze.

It’s got all-wheel drive as standard, so whether I’m driving through the countryside or just stuck in a city gridlock, it handles well. Safety features are solid too — things like pre-collision assist, adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and traction control are all there. Full service history, ULEZ compliant, and still under manufacturer’s warranty.

I’ve also got the floor mats, privacy glass, power windows (all auto-up/down), and even a rear wiper. Everything’s been kept in order, and it’s been driven very responsibly.

It’s currently based in llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Isle of Anglesey, and I’m looking to part ways with it — not because it’s not good, but because I’m moving to a different area and just need to downsize.

The asking price is £27,796.50, which is fair given the specs and low mileage. It’s not just a car — it’s a daily driver that actually works for real life. If you’re looking for something that’s efficient, quiet, and still has a bit of oomph, this one’s worth a look.

I’m not a car dealer — I’m just someone who bought it new, used it for a few years, and now wants to hand it over. No pressure, just a straightforward, honest share.
