Overview

  • Toyota's 2026 RAV4 will be offered exclusively as hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, eliminating traditional gasoline-only variants.
  • The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version delivers 320 horsepower, a 50-mile electric-only range, and supports DC fast-charging for a 10-80% charge in 30 minutes.
  • A new GR Sport trim combines sporty design elements with performance-tuned suspension and steering, marking the most powerful RAV4 to date.
  • The hybrid-only shift aligns with Toyota's broader electrification strategy, following similar moves for the Camry and other models.
