TOYOTA'S RAV4 plug-in hybrid has arrived, with a price tag starting at £47,395.

The hybrid system makes a beefy 302bhp and its large batteries yield a 46-mile electric-only range.

Toyota claims that the RAV4 will return up to 282mpg while emitting 22g/km CO2 - the second figure will be of particular interest to company car users, whose level of benefit in kind tax liability increases with their car's emissions.

Two specifications will be available: Dynamic and Dynamic Premium.

Dynamic cars, priced from £47,395, have 19-inch machined alloy wheels, a nine-inch multimedia touchscreen and heated front and rear seats.

The Dynamic Premium models get black leather upholstery, a panoramic roof and head-up display. It costs from £50,895.
