Wild. Reminds me of the lines for 2nd gen Toyota Priuses in the early 2000s, and also the early Highlander hybrids. What's so great about the RAV4? Subaru Outbacks are basically SUV sized these days, with arguably superior AWD to the RAV4. That's what I ended up with when I was buying a few years ago. It's not hybrid, but $30-50k buys a lot of gas, and we don't do many miles. If you did a bunch of miles (commuting?), I'd think you'd want something more aerodynamic.

It has 42 miles of electric range. Prius Prime only has 25. So you can have an SUV, have electric, and have a gas engine for long trips.

comparing an outback to a rav4 hybrid or plug-in hybrid is not a very direct comparison. although I agree the subaru awd is superior, I am paying a lot more to keep my high mileage forester on the road than i would a Toyota.
