Next-generation Toyota RAV4 EV? That's right. The forthcoming 2012 model, isn't the first RAV4 EV ever made. The RAV4 EV story actually starts 16 years ago in 1995, when Toyota introduced the first prototype, and claimed a victory, at the Scandinavian Electric Rally Car Rally.

Later that same year, Toyota, placed the RAV4 EV prototype at institutions around the state of California. The following year, in 1996, Toyota launched the first stage of its zero-emission vehicle test program, featuring two-door RAV4 EV prototypes. They also debuted the RAV4 EV at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

In 1997, the first-generation Toyota RAV4 EV was available exclusively to fleet consumers. Four years later, it was available to the general public residing in the Golden State. In 2003, production paused. Why? It was ahead of its time. There wasn't the avid interest in EVs then. But, there certainly is now. And, for all of you interested in the next-gen RAV4 EV, you'll be happy to know that recent reports claiming the EV will only be available to fleet and car-share program buyers are inaccurate.

Toyota has confirmed mass-market availability of the new 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV in a recent press release. "We'd like to set the record straight," the Japanese automaker says. "The 2012 RAV4 EV will definitely be sold to the general public."¹

Toyota of Wallingford would like to note that in addition to the 2012 RAV4 EV, Toyota will also be launching the all-new Scion iQ EV based on the Toyota iQ available in Japan, in 2012. The funkier-looking Scion EV, however, will be available exclusively to fleet and car share buyers.

The Toyota Prius may be the best-selling hybrid in America. But, it isn't exactly known for its aggressive performance. However, that's about to change.

While they'll continue to offer Prius drivers the peace of mind that comes with superb mileage and low emissions, Toyota is adding an available PLUS Performance package (featuring components from the  new PLUS hybrid performance line) to the 2011 model. Toyota explains, "PLUS is an evolution of hybrid design, where fuel-efficiency co-exists with aggressive styling and performance handling."¹

The part  of Toyota's apt explanation Toyota of Wallingford would like to highlight is "co-exist". This indicates the package embodies both Toyota core values: Eco and Advanced Technology. So, while the PLUS Performance package makes the Prius faster and more exciting to drive, it remains true to its eco-friendly heritage, continuing to offer industry-leading fuel efficiency...a win, win, if you ask us.

2011 Toyota Prius PLUS Performance Package Highlights

-    Four Available Exterior Colors: Blizzard Pearl, Classic Silver Metallic, Black, and Winter Gray Metallic
-    Seven-piece aerodynamic ground effects kit (includes front and rear bumper spoilers, sleek side skirts, and distinctive rear diffuser)
-    Wheels: Race-inspired 17-inch forged alloy
-    Tires: Low-profile 215/45R17
