2026 Toyota RAV4.

Another day, another illustration of the 2026 Toyota RAV4…
The RAV4 is Toyota’s most popular model in the US, by far. With over 475,000 units sold last year alone! Which is even more than in 2023 with 435,000. A crazy high number for a model that is in its last year. it seems nothing can slow down the insane sales numbers and Toyota is probably not in a hurry to replace the current generation.
And yet, a new one is right around the corner.
Most Toyota models use a version of the TNGA platform, and this will probably still be the case for the new RAV4. However, there have been decent rumors of a revised platform for the new generation. Another rumor is a possible standard hybrid powertrain, just like the 2025 Camry. Unlike the Camry, the new RAV4 would still be available with a PHEV option.
However, no one is expecting big changes or huge improvements to these powertrains. Since Toyota’s new 1.5 Liter and 2.0 Liter engines are probably not ready for prime time yet.
A new generation RAV4 is a huge deal around the world, as it was the world’s best-selling car in 2022 with over a million units. It’s fair to say that a new one will be eagerly awaited by many around the planet.
From what we could see of the front end in previous spy shots, it seems things could be quite similar to the Crown Signia, which is a very good-looking car. Maybe the new RAV4 will push its envelope a bit and make an effort to be really attractive and not just “a good car”.
While I think the current generation still looks OK, its interior seems behind the times next to the competition like the Hyundai Tucson.
I think we could see more any day now…
