Why Lease a Toyota RAV4?

The RAV4 has been a family favourite for more than 30 years, and the latest version leans into everything that made it popular: space, comfort, strong resale values and Toyota's reputation for reliability. What's changed is the powertrain. The sixth-generation RAV4 is a plug-in hybrid with a much bigger battery, so it can cover most everyday journeys on electric power alone, then switch seamlessly to hybrid running for longer trips with no range anxiety.

That combination makes it especially appealing on a lease. You get the low running costs and low company-car tax of a plug-in hybrid, but with the practicality and dependability of a proven family SUV.

Top reasons to lease a RAV4

• Up to ~80 miles of electric range – class-leading for a plug-in hybrid SUV, enough for most daily driving on electricity alone.

• Low company-car tax – the PHEV's long electric range keeps it in a low Benefit-in-Kind band.

• Choice of FWD or AWD-i – front-wheel drive for efficiency, or 304PS all-wheel drive for performance and traction.

• Spacious and practical – generous cabin and boot for families and road trips.

• Toyota reliability – consistently strong reliability and residual values.

• Fixed monthly cost – road tax included, manufacturer warranty for the typical lease term, and no resale worries at the end.

Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid Explained

Every headline RAV4 in our listing is a 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid. It combines a petrol engine with electric motors and a 22.7kWh battery, giving up to around 80 miles of electric-only range on the front-wheel-drive version. Drive it on a charged battery around town and you may use almost no petrol at all; on longer runs it behaves like a normal self-charging hybrid, so you never have to worry about finding a charger.

• RAV4 PHEV (front-wheel drive) – 268bhp; 0–62mph in 7.5 seconds; up to around 80 miles electric range; the efficiency choice.

• RAV4 PHEV "309" (AWD-i, all-wheel drive) – 304PS; 0–62mph in 5.8 seconds; slightly lower electric range; adds all-weather traction and strong performance.

Charging is quicker than before: up to 11kW on an AC home or public charger for a roughly three-hour top-up, and on Excel and GR Sport a DC rapid-charging port can take the battery from 10–80% in around half an hour.

What about the self-charging hybrid?

Our listing also includes a 2.5 VVT-i self-charging Hybrid in Design trim. This version never needs plugging in — the battery recharges itself as you drive — so it's worth considering if you can't charge at home but still want strong fuel economy. Ask our team which RAV4 hybrid suits your driving.

Toyota RAV4 Trims Explained

There are four RAV4 trims in our listing, from the well-equipped Icon up to the sporty GR Sport.

Icon

The entry trim is generously specced, with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lights, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a large central touchscreen, a reversing camera, a powered tailgate and Toyota's latest suite of safety and driver-assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring.

Design

Design is expected to be the best-seller. It adds 20-inch alloy wheels, two-tone paint, power-adjustable and cooled front seats, a hands-free powered tailgate and a wireless phone charger over Icon.

Excel

Excel steps up to leather upholstery, heated rear seats, a head-up display, a JBL sound system, a second wireless charging pad and upgraded safety technology. It also unlocks all-wheel drive and DC rapid charging.

GR Sport

The range-topping GR Sport, developed with Toyota's Gazoo Racing division, adds retuned steering, upgraded and strengthened suspension, a lower ride height and lightweight 20-inch alloys, plus GR-specific styling on the grille, steering wheel and seats. It's the driver's RAV4 and comes as the 304PS AWD-i "309".

Which trim should you lease?

• Lowest monthly cost: Icon – already very well equipped with heated seats, adaptive cruise and a powered tailgate.

• Best all-rounder: Design – the extra comfort kit and 20-inch wheels for a small step up in price.

• Most luxurious: Excel – leather, head-up display, JBL audio and the option of all-wheel drive.

• Sportiest and fastest: GR Sport – 304PS, tuned chassis and 0–62mph in 5.8 seconds.

Space, Practicality and Comfort

The RAV4 is a proper family SUV, with a spacious cabin, a high driving position and a large boot. On the latest model, Toyota has moved the battery from the boot to the floor, which lowers the centre of gravity and helps free up luggage space, so the plug-in hybrid no longer sacrifices practicality for its battery. There's plenty of head and legroom front and rear, making it a comfortable choice for families and longer journeys.

Higher trims add creature comforts such as leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats and a head-up display, so you can spec the RAV4 as a genuinely upmarket cruiser.

Technology and Safety

Every RAV4 has a large central touchscreen with smartphone connectivity and Toyota's connected services, plus a digital driver display. Higher trims add a JBL premium sound system, a head-up display and additional wireless charging.

On safety, the RAV4 comes with the latest Toyota Safety Sense suite as standard, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, road-sign recognition and blind-spot monitoring, with Excel and GR Sport adding further driver-assistance features. Toyota's reputation for building dependable, safe family cars is a big part of the RAV4's appeal.

Personal Toyota RAV4 Leasing

Personal contract hire (PCH) lets you drive a brand-new RAV4 for a fixed monthly payment. You pay an initial rental, followed by the monthly rentals for your chosen term, then hand the car back at the end. Choose your annual mileage up front so it matches your driving and you avoid excess-mileage charges. If you'd like to keep costs predictable, ask about adding a maintenance package to cover servicing. Personal prices on this page include VAT.

Business Toyota RAV4 Leasing

Business contract hire is available to limited companies, sole traders and partnerships. The RAV4 plug-in hybrid is a strong company car choice: its long electric range keeps it in a low Benefit-in-Kind band, and VAT-registered businesses can usually reclaim up to 50% of the VAT on rentals for a car with private use, and 100% on any maintenance package. Predictable monthly payments and low running costs make it easy to budget for a single car or a whole fleet. Business prices are shown excluding VAT.
