The RAV4 Prime is a plug-in hybrid that “transforms the laudable RAV4, endowing it with more power, greater efficiency, a comfortable ride, and a hint more coddling in the cabin,” Consumer Reports says. It’s faster, more engaging and a wee bit nicer inside. Toyota’s RAV4 Prime takes everything good about the regular RAV4 and amps it up. Be aware: Rear visibility is hampered, acceleration is ho-hum, and controls take getting used to.The cabins have a high-tech feel, especially when fitted with the large 11.6-inch centre screen.” Both versions are pleasant to drive, with a comfortable, steady ride and secure handling. Either version has “an epic 590-mile range between fill-ups. The Prius Prime plug-in hybrid is good for about 25 miles of electric-only driving before reverting to regular hybrid operation, with 69 mpg overall. The aerodynamic Prius continues to set the standard for fuel-efficient transportation: “A phenomenal 52 mpg overall in tests,” and it “shines for its consistent reliability and owner satisfaction.” The Ford Mustang Mach-E is the only one of our Top Picks this year that received the added points because its active driver assists system has effective driver monitoring that gives appropriate warnings when the driver looks away from the road for too long. New this year: CR is requiring Top Picks to have highway-speed AEB, also now add 2 points to a vehicle’s Overall Score if it has an active driver assistance system that includes an adequate driver monitoring system. Top Picks also must come standard in all trims with Forwarding Collision Warning (FCW) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection safety features we consider critical because they have proved to save lives. To be in this group, a vehicle must have an Overall Score among the highest in its category, factoring in road tests, predicted reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety.
