2026 Toyota RAV4 Model Review - Decatur, IL

What's New for the 2026 Toyota RAV4?

The 2026 RAV4 arrives with a complete redesign, marking a bold step into the future. For the first time, Toyota is offering the RAV4 with all-electric powertrains. As America's top-selling compact SUV, this move signals a major shift in the segment. Shoppers can now choose between a hybrid model or a plug-in hybrid, making the RAV4 more versatile and forward-looking than ever before.

What Are the 2026 RAV4 Trims & Features?

The new RAV4 lineup includes LE, XLE, Limited, Woodland, SE, XSE, and the all-new GR Sport trims. Toyota designates the first three as "core" trims, the Woodland as a "Rugged" option, and the SE, XSE, and GR Sport under the "Sport" family. The standout addition is the GR Sport, tuned with help from GAZOO Racing and styled with performance-inspired details. The Woodland trim gets extra ground clearance and a distinctive split-grille design for trail-ready confidence. Inside, a slimmer touchscreen is available in 10.5-inch or 12.9-inch sizes, and upgraded SofTex fabric brings improved comfort and durability across more trims. Altogether, the 2026 RAV4 blends practicality with modern style and tech.
