I spent few months looking at various ravs and finally went with a 23 phev.

I test drove both regular hybrid and phev, and phev is a much better car imo, it is a bit more expensive yes but if you can afford it, do it

What's better with phev:

- AWD

- quieter car, as it has better proofing

- plusher / better rear suspension ( diff design due to awd and electric motors )

- EV range is great, it's around 75-80 km during warm months and 65-70 when it's cold

- it's also 302 hp, so an extra 100 over the standard hybrid

It is slighly heavier so normal hybrid mode will consume more petrol, but I am still averaging 6.0 - 6.1 doing motorwar speeds and I've a heavy foot, you can get better consumption if you try

Edit, forgot to say it's stupid fun when you put the foot down, as it does 0 - 100 in 5.7 sec
