There's no non-electrified engine in the RAV4 segment that is smooth and sounds good per consensus here, but I don't think the majority of the buying demographic cares about engine sound either.
A hybrid powertrain removes most of the low-end grunt accelerating from a stop, and noise is minimal once you get going assuming you're driving the car smoothly and not gunning it everywhere.
I'm more worried about the aunties having access to 300+HP RAV4s when they mix the pedal again and ram another Richmond storefront. You know those aunties will get RAV4 Primes early because they have no problem or clue getting gouged by local dealers.
