About

Join Alex, Nick and Travis for in-depth looks at the latest cars, trucks, SUVs, and EVs on the market. In every video we cover all the things you should know if you're shopping for a new vehicle. From what it looks like to what you get on each trim, how much they will cost you and how they compare to the competition. Unlike other channels we don't waste time on antics, track day diaries, or sweeping vistas with loud music. Instead, we cover the nitty-gritty detail the other channels leave out! Back in 2006, Alex was car shopping and decided he didn't like any of the online resources he found. Nobody was showing in detail what the interior looked like, nobody was giving direct comparisons to the segment best sellers, so he decided to do something about it and start Alex On Autos. In 2023 to reflect the other folks here that make our weekly production happen, Alex On Autos became Auto Buyers Guide.

Video Description

It's here, the all new 6th generation Rav4! Electrified is the only way forward and you can either get the 5th generation Hybrid system (in Front of All Wheel Drive) or the new PHEV powertrain (AWD only). There's a shake up amongst trim levels and we now have 2 new trims with specific but differing focuses; on road (GR Sport) and off road (Woodland). If you want the new GR Sport you'll find that only available in PHEV but the Woodland (though only in AWD) can be had in either HEV or PHEV. We'll have to wait for fuel economy numbers till later. We do know about power outputs and it's either 226 (HEV FWD), 236 (HEV AWD), and 320 (PHEV AWD). We also get a 20% increase in EV range on the PHEV for an estimated 50 miles. Availability will be later this year and pricing will come closer to that time. #toyota #rav4 #2026toyotarav4 #hybrid #hev #pluginhybrid #phev #awd #gr #grsport #woodland Join this channel to get access to perks!
