Toyota Industries, a subsidiary of Toyota focused on machinery, announced it will bring a trio of customized RAV4 PHEV models at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon – the “Adventure”, the “OffRoad PKG” and the “Sporty PKG”.
Toyota Industries, the world’s largest manufacturer of forklifts, is also in charge of the RAV4 production at the Nagakusa Plant in Japan, which explains the monotony of its Tokyo lineup.

The Toyota RAV4 PHEV Adventure PKG looks virtually identical to the production-spec Adventure trim, so we don’t really know if it has any custom parts. The OffRoad PKG is another story, featuring a custom two-tone livery, a Yakima roof rack, off-road wheels, red mudflaps, extra LEDs on the front bumper, protective cladding on the side sills, and a tank mounted on the side.
Last but not least, the Sporty PKG is a road-focused proposal. The bodykit comprises a sporty front bumper extension with faux intakes, body-colored trim on the wheel arches and side sills, plus a set of larger-diameter wheels. The two-tone exterior combines a silver shade with a black finish for the roof, mirror caps, and alloy wheels. Those parts look like they are sourced from the recently revealed EU-spec Toyota RAV4 GR-Sport, although the LED headlights with the yellow indicators come from the US-spec model.
All three vehicles are fitted with the stock plug-in hybrid powertrain which combines a 2.5-liter petrol engine and dual electric motors. As the most powerful variant of the RAV4 range, the PHEV produces a combined 302 hp (225 kW / 306 PS). Power is transmitted to all four wheels through the standard E-Four AWD system.
