Toyota Motor Company plans to hybridize all of their vehicles by 2020. With the prius enjoying solid control of the mid-size hybrid car market, the hybrid camry owning the full-size category, and the hybrid highlander doing well among mid-size SUVs, coloring the Rav4 green seems like a savvy next move. The current small hybrid SUV leader is the Ford Escape, so it might be the closest competitor for Toyota should they decide to bring a Rav 4 hybrid to the states. At the same time, rumors of Honda building a hybrid CRV surface now and then, and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear them again in the next few months.
