A tribute to Jesko von Koenigsegg favourite horse, Sadair’s Spear.

The all-new Toyota RAV4 GR Sport - it’s a plug-in hybrid for one with a new high-capacity 22.7kWh lithium-ion battery that has an acclaimed range of 100KM and can charge from 10% - 80% in 30 minutes. Genuinely like the styling on this one.
 
The interior definitely looks like it took a lot more from its connection to the multiple World Championship-winning Toyota Gazoo Racing team with those distinctive GR Sport-exclusive synthetic leather and suede seat upholstery standing popping more now. There is also discreet GR logos and red accents on the steering wheel, knee pads and in the seats.
