Aussie RETIREES Are Switching to a Hybrid SUV — Here's WHY

A new Toyota RAV4 now starts at A$45,990 before on-road costs. So is a hybrid SUV still worth it for Aussie retirees? Australians bought 12,138 hybrids in 2015 and 199,133 last year, and over-55s make up a big share of hybrid owners. We count down 6 reasons for the switch: seat height and comfort, the rego myth, capped-price servicing, real-world fuel use from the AAA tests, depreciation, and how the RAV4 compares with the GWM Haval H6 Hybrid, MG HS Hybrid Plus and BYD Sealion 6 on price and battery warranty. Then I tell you what I'd buy with my own money. Chapters 00:00 A$45,990 RAV4: Still Worth It? 00:37 6. Comfort and Seat Height 03:30 5. The Hybrid Rego Myth 06:07 4. Servicing: Toyota vs BYD 09:23 3.
