Refreshed Exterior 

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 will always leave a lasting impression thanks to its hammerhead front fascia, sculpted body lines, and trim-specific design accents. The Woodland trim features a rugged look complete with 18-inch all-terrain wheels, bridge-style roof rails, LED fog lamps, and a tow hitch. It also has the widest width in the lineup. Coming in at 74 inches, this is slightly higher than what was seen in 2025.

Updated Interior Features

The new Toyota RAV4 also offers several improvements to the interior compared to the 2025 model. It features standard dual automatic climate control with rear vents, an available 8-way power adjustable passenger’s seat, and an available panoramic moonroof. Plus, the XSE trim now offers standard access to ventilated front seats. Another major design update comes with the touchscreen display. The 2025 model offers access to a standard 8-inch display and an available 10.5-inch option. For the 2026 year, a 10.5-inch screen comes standard, and a larger 12.9-inch option is available. These displays are used to access the Toyota Multimedia system, a suite of features that allows for navigation, connectivity, and more while on the road.

All-Hybrid Powertrain 

One of the biggest differences between the 2025 and 2026 Toyota RAV4 is its powertrain. While the 2025 model allows you to pick between gas and hybrid, the 2026 version is exclusively hybrid and offers improved fuel economy. The gas-powered 2025 RAV4 offers a combined fuel economy between 7.9 L/100 km and 8.5 L/100 km, and the hybrid version offers a combined 6 L/100 km. Comparatively, the 2026 RAV4 offers a combined rate between 5.5 and 6.2 L/100 km.

 Specifications  2025 Toyota RAV4  2026 Toyota RAV4

 Hybrid (L/100 km, city/hwy)  5.8/6.3  5.1/6 - 5.7/6.7
