The wait is over – Toyota has unveiled the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4, redefining what drivers can expect from a hybrid SUV. As the sixth-generation model, this RAV4 brings a bold redesign, exclusively hybrid powertrains, and cutting-edge in-car technology. Whether you’re planning a city drive or an off-road escape, this SUV is more than ready.

A Fully Hybrid Future

For 2026, the RAV4 ditches traditional engines. It’s now available only as a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). With both FWD and AWD options, the new RAV4 offers efficiency without compromising performance.

  • HEV Power: Up to 236 hp on AWD models
  • PHEV Performance: A thrilling 320 hp and 80 km electric-only range
  • Fast Charging: DC fast charging gets you from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes (available on select trims)
  • Towing Power: Up to 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) on AWD trims

New Designs: Core, Rugged, and Sport

The 2026 RAV4 lineup is split into three distinct design themes, giving renters and drivers more personality-driven choices than ever before.

Core Models LE, XLE, Limited

Sleek and modern with a hammerhead-style front end, body-colored grilles, and wheels ranging from 17 to 20 inches. Perfect for city use and daily commutes.

Rugged Models Woodland Edition & More

Built for adventure, these trims feature raised ride height, all-terrain tires, LED light bars, and black grille accents. The Woodland Edition is now a standalone model with standard AWD and available in both HEV and PHEV versions.

Sport Models GR SPORT, SE, XSE

New for 2026 is the GR SPORT, tuned by Toyota’s GAZOO Racing team. It includes a sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels, and exclusive styling upgrades. This PHEV-only trim delivers high performance with bold looks to match.

Next-Level Tech and Safety

The 2026 RAV4 debuts Toyota’s new Arene software platform, delivering smarter and more connected driving experiences.

  • Toyota Safety Sense 4.0: Smarter detection and better safety
  • 12.3" digital cluster + up to 12.9" touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
  • Cloud updates, JBL Premium Audio, and Head-Up Display on top trims

Interior & Comfort

Step inside to find a range of materials from premium fabric to microsuede, depending on the grade. Trims like Woodland feature weather-resistant floor mats and bright red-orange accents, while the GR SPORT includes paddle shifters, aluminum pedals, and sporty details throughout.
