Off the line, the RAV4 PHEV hits 100 km/h in 6.08 s versus 7.41 s for the Atto 3 Extended Range. At this point, the RAV4 PHEV leads by 1.33 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the RAV4 PHEV is doing 129 km/h against 121 km/h for the Atto 3 Extended Range. The gap is 0.83 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the RAV4 PHEV crosses the line in 14.33 s versus 15.57 s. The 1.24 s gap represents roughly 50 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the RAV4 PHEV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 181 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the RAV4 PHEV finishes in 25.91 s versus 29.19 s, with a 3.29 s lead.
Electronically capped at 160 km/h, the Atto 3 Extended Range never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.50 kg/hp vs 8.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.71 seconds. The 1.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, RAV4 PHEV wins (6,08 s vs 7,41 s).
RAV4 PHEV goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,08 seconds (calibrated simulation).
