Toyota has made major improvements to the Gen 5 PHEV system found in the Gen 5 Prius PHEV. The Gen 6 PHEV system will debut with the all-new RAV4 this fall.

Among the improvements:

The problematic refrigerant battery cooling in Gen 5 Prius PHEV has been replaced with a water-cooling system now.
The AC charger has now been put on top of the DC–DC converter on top of the front electric motor.
The traction battery is now under the car at the center, improving the center of gravity for better, more precise handling.
The cabin and cargo space has been enlarged by moving the battery to under the car.
The battery heating and cooling has now been improved to the point that the car can be driven in the BEV mode at all temperatures.
And other improvements.
