Toyota Ghana launches new RAV4 Hybrid with self-charging technology

Toyota Ghana launched the new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid onto the Ghanaian market as part of efforts to promote fuel-efficient and environmentally sustainable mobility solutions. The vehicle was unveiled by Toyota Tsusho Manufacturing Ghana Company Limited as the company seeks to expand the adoption of hybrid technology in Ghana amid growing concerns about fuel costs and environmental sustainability. The new RAV4 Hybrid uses Toyota's self-charging hybrid technology, which combines a petrol engine with an electric motor to optimise performance and energy efficiency.

Takeshi Watanabe, Managing Director of Toyota Ghana, said the launch reflects the company's broader commitment to the future of low-emission mobility. He also said, "The RAV4 is one of the best-selling and most accepted Toyota models globally. We have sold more than 15 million units worldwide, and that shows the trust customers have in the vehicle. Ghana is absolutely no exception." Toyota sold about 4.4 million hybrid vehicles globally in 2025. Andrew Lamptey, Head of Sales Operations at Toyota Ghana, described the new model as a practical solution suited to Ghana's road conditions.

Toyota Ghana also announced additional customer benefits including a 20,000-kilometre free service package, a five-year warranty, and access to the MyToyota Connect digital platform for vehicle tracking and diagnostics. The launch is expected to strengthen its position in Ghana's automotive market while supporting the transition toward cleaner and more efficient mobility solutions.
