Toyota RAV4 vs Tesla Model 3 comparison; fuel economy, performance, price

Toyota RAV4 is the number one selling SUV, and has remained at first spot for last three years in the United States. Its popularity is mushrooming further after release of fifth generation (2019 on-wards) model. Tesla Model 3 is number one selling electric vehicle in the US by a gargantuan margin. Although they don’t belong in the same class of vehicles, but a comparison of these two trendy vehicles should be interesting.

Models

Toyota RAV4 comes in 10 variants of which 4 are available in hybrid, all models come with same 2.5-Liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine including its hybrid version. Tesla Model 3 comes in four variants, Standard, Standard Plus, Long Range and Long Range Plus.

Energy Cost (per 100 miles)

According to AAA, the average price of gasoline is $3.543 in California at the time of this writing. Toyota RAV4 offers fuel economy of 40 mpg for hybrid and 30 mpg for gas version. Dividing gas price by mpg gives us cost per mile, multiplying it by 100 gives us $8.86 energy cost for hybrid and $11.81 for gas version.
According to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Tesla Model 3 consumes 26 kWh of electricity per 100 miles. Multiplying this figure by cost of electricity gives us total cost of energy per 100 miles which is $5.72 super off-peak (22 cents/kWh), $6.24 off-peak (24 cents/kWh), $8.32 for peak winter (32 cents/kWh) and $9.62 for peak summer (37 cents/kWh). The supercharger cost for 100 miles is $6.49 which is based on calculator provided by Tesla on their website tesla.com/supercharger.

The calculations for home charging are based on residential electricity rates provided by Southern California Edison, which is primary electricity supply company for much of Southern California. This company was chosen due to higher popularity of Model 3 in California than any other state, it ranked as #3 best selling vehicle overall in the state in 2019 according to CNCDA/IHS Markit.

Tesla Model 3 offers 580 peak horsepower for its Performance version. Toyota RAV 4 gives 203 hp @ 6600 rpm for its gasoline variants, and its hybrid version gives combined 219 hp.

Torque

Model 3 is leading in this category with 330-481 pound feet of torque. RAV4 produces 184 lb.-ft. @ 5000 rpm.

Driving Range

Toyota RAV4 comes with a 14.5 gallon tank, and offers combined fuel economy of 30 mpg for gas and 40 mpg for hybrid variant. Multiplying mpg with fuel tank capacity gives us total range in miles on a single fill up. The hybrid model offers about twice the range of 580 miles as compared to Model 3’s 322 miles for its Long Range variant.

Acceleration

Toyota does not provide official figures for acceleration, but Car and Driver has tested RAV4 2019 (latest version) which resulted in 7.4 seconds for hybrid and 8 seconds for gas. Tesla Model 3’s 0-60 mph range from 5.6 seconds for Standard to 3.2 seconds for Performance version.

Sales in United States

As previously mentioned, both of these vehicles are best sellers in their respective classes. Though, Tesla Model 3 is a very new car compared to Toyota RAV4 which has been around since 1996 when it was released in North America. Toyota sold 448,068 units of RAV4 in 2019 and Tesla sold 158,925 Model 3 vehicles.

Interior

Tesla Model 3’s interior is as simple as it can get, its probably the most dull looking interior in the US market. It can do 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds but doesn’t even have an instrument cluster screen, so you will be looking at the center console screen just to watch your speed which can get distracting. So if you’re looking for aesthetics and a speed-o-meter in front of your eyes, RAV4 is unquestionably a more desirable choice.

Driver Assistance

All variants of Tesla Model 3 comes standard with Autopilot except Standard Range version. Its one of the most sophisticated driver-assistance systems in the auto industry with features like lane centering, adaptive cruise control, self-parking, auto lane changing and steering on highways, and the ability to summon the car to and from a garage or parking spot.

Toyota Unveils ‘RAV4 EV’ Jointly Developed with Tesla

Toyota City, Japan, May 8, 2012―Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A, Inc. (TMS), TMC’s sales subsidiary in the United States, unveiled the Toyota «RAV4 EV»―an all electric compact SUV jointly developed with California, United States-based Tesla Motors, Inc. (Tesla)―today at the 26th International Electric Vehicle Symposium* (EVS26) in Los Angeles, California.

RAV4 EV

The RAV4 EV―based on the Toyota «RAV4» compact SUV and fitted with a Tesla electric powertrain―achieves a real-world cruising range of approximately 100 miles (approx. 160 km). The vehicle is scheduled for launch in late summer 2012 in California with a planned manufacturer’s suggested retail price of 49,800 U.S. dollars. TMS plans to sell approximately 2,600 units over the next three years.

In May 2010, Tesla and TMC reached a basic agreement to work together on the development of electric vehicles and their related components, production systems and production engineering.

In response, engineers from Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. (TEMA), Tesla and TMC soon started joint vehicle development, leading to the unveiling of a concept vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2010.

Now, approximately two years since the Tesla-TMC collaboration began, the RAV4 EV will make its market debut. Production will be carried out at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, Inc. (TMMC) in Woodstock, Ontario.

TMC is working to limit fossil fuel consumption and reduce CO 2 emissions through the promotion of gasoline-alternative energy sources, such as electricity. TMC began sales of a Prius-based plug-in hybrid vehicle in Japan and the U.S. in early 2012, with a European launch scheduled this summer. An all-electric vehicle based on the «iQ» ultra-compact is also planned for launch in Japan, North America and Europe within this year.

Tesla Model Y to surpass Toyota Rav4 in global sales in 2023

Tesla sales have taken off in Australia with Tesla Model 3 leading the charge in Australia. Tesla’s Model Y SUV has also been a success locally since its launch last year, but it’s real success has been in the strength of its global sales.

Now data for 2022 eveals just how successful the all-electric EV really is as it looks to overtake the Toyota Rav4 in sales this year.

Data compiled by Tesla and EV News enthusiast Sawyer Merritt on Twitter shows how Model Y has fared in total sales when compared to the world’s best-selling vehicles last year.

The Model Y ranked fourth in the list with 760,000 sales, outpacing Toyota Camry, which had 80,000 fewer units sold.

The chart also showed growth compared to 2021 sales where the Model Y was the only vehicle in the top 6 that had grown in sales. Sales growth for Model Y showed a +88.7% year-on-year rise when all other models saw a drop.

That’s quite impressive given the price bracket that Tesla Model Y plays in. No other vehicles on the list were from premium car manufacturers.

Globally, the Tesla Model Y increased in double-digit sales in a year when Tesla faced supply chain issues like many other brands. On the back of that, the Shanghai factory saw months of limited or no production due to Covid-19 lockdowns.

Tesla also opened two new factories in 2022. These included GigaTexas and GigaBerlin which had not yet reached full production capacity as the year came to an end.

These two plants are starting off by only producing the Tesla Model Y before adding other products to the production line mix.

With the full production capacity of GigaTexas and GigaBerlin expected in 2023, it is quite possible that Tesla Model Y will surpass Toyota’s highest-selling SUV in 2022, the Toyota Rav4.

The Rav4 sold around 870,000 while seeing a 13.7% drop in sales compared to the year prior.

Even with a slight increase to last year’s production levels, the Tesla Model Y will surpass Toyota’s sales from last year. This would make it the second-best-selling car in the world.

With an expected production volume of 1.8 million plus EVs by Tesla in 2023, the Model Y production will be pushing above 1 million units this year.

These production and sales estimates could also make it quite plausible for the Model Y to be the best-selling vehicle in the world.

The Model Y SUV which began deliveries has done quite well with 8,717 sales during 2022. This year, it’s expected to surpass the Tesla Model 3 sales here in Australia as well.

The introduction of incentives such as the FBT changes and those not yet made public by the federal government as part of the national EV strategy would form the foundation to further accelerate the uptake of EVs, naturally supercharging Tesla Model Y sales across the country.
