2026 Toyota RAV4 Review

 What's New for the 2026 Toyota RAV4?

The best-selling SUV in America just got even better. The 2026 Toyota RAV4 introduces its sixth generation with bold styling, enhanced tech, and a fully electrified powertrain lineup. Whether you're commuting through Calhoun County or heading up north for weekend getaways, this all-new RAV4 is ready for the road—and beyond.

Does the 2026 RAV4 Offer Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid Power?

Yes. For 2026, Toyota has fully phased out traditional gas engines in the RAV4 lineup. Every trim now comes standard with either a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain, providing impressive performance and efficiency:

• The hybrid RAV4 offers 226 horsepower with front-wheel drive or 236 horsepower with available all-wheel drive.
• The plug-in hybrid delivers 320 combined horsepower, up to 50 miles of electric-only driving range, and comes equipped with GR-tuned shocks, springs, and steering.
• All-wheel drive is standard on the plug-in hybrid, and the Woodland Edition features a 3D multi-terrain monitor to help navigate off-road terrain.
• Towing capacity has been increased to 3,500 pounds, perfect for small campers or boats near Gull Lake.

What Exterior Upgrades Can You Expect on the 2026 Toyota RAV4?

The 2026 RAV4 debuts a rugged yet refined exterior design that blends utility with modern flair. Notable upgrades include:

• A cascading hood design integrated with updated LED headlights surrounded by LED light bars on three sides.
• A bold blacked-out grille that wraps across the entire front end, offering a powerful road presence.
• Squared-off wheel arches and a taller roofline enhance aerodynamics and space.
• Available all-terrain tires and 20-inch alloy wheels deliver off-road readiness with a premium feel.

Whether you're heading down M-66 or navigating Battle Creek's downtown streets, the 2026 RAV4 turns heads at every corner.
