Instead, energy is automatically generated and stored through engine operation and regenerative braking technology.<\/p>\n<p>Managing Director of Toyota Ghana, Takeshi Watanabe, said the launch reflects the company\u2019s broader commitment to the future of low-emission mobility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that Toyota sold about 4.4 million hybrid vehicles globally in 2025, adding that increasing awareness about fuel efficiency and environmental protection is expected to drive hybrid adoption in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>Head of Sales Operations at Toyota Ghana, Andrew Lamptey, described the new model as a practical solution suited to Ghana\u2019s road conditions.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the vehicle is designed to handle rough and uneven terrain while delivering improved performance in urban traffic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are braking or decelerating, the system converts that energy into power stored in the battery. In a normal vehicle, that energy would be wasted,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The company says the launch is expected to strengthen its position in Ghana\u2019s automotive market while supporting the transition toward cleaner and more efficient mobility solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div
