Sub-2,500 cc KRA duty advantage: All 2.0L Petrol and 2.5L Hybrid variants qualify for the lower 25% excise tax bracket.
High 200 mm ground clearance: Easily clears deep potholes, tall speed bumps, and rough upcountry estate roads.

What’s not so good

Highway fuel consumption drops when battery is depleted (~8.5 L/100 km / 11.8 km/L).
Battery charging on the move via engine increases fuel consumption.
Compact 3rd-row legroom: Third-row seats are best suited for children or short city transfers.

High KRA CRSP customs valuation: Substantial import duty investment compared to earlier 4th-gen RAV4 models.
Wind noise at high highway speeds: Minor cabin wind rustle around side mirrors over 120 km/h.

Premium unleaded fuel requirement (91+ octane minimum) on T4, T5, T6 petrol engines.
AdBlue / Diesel Exhaust Fluid replenishment required on D4/D5 diesel models.
High replacement cost for air suspension compressors and high-voltage PHEV battery packs over time.
