The Toyota RAV4 is an icon in the compact SUV segment, and each iteration continues to raise the bar. The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is no different. It brings major updates in technology, design, and power. Learn the differences between this and the 2025 Toyota RAV4 with Keyes Toyota in Van Nuys, CA.
Standard Electric Powertrains
The major difference between the 2025 and 2026 Toyota RAV4 is that there is no longer a gas engine option. All 2026 models are either a traditional hybrid or a plug-in hybrid. This reimagined hybrid system can generate up to 236 horsepower, depending on the configuration. The plug-in option generates 320 horsepower and has an EPA-estimated 50 miles of electric range for daily driving. The decision to eliminate the gas option illustrates just how important electric efficiency is to Toyota.
Advanced Technology and a Modern Cabin
The 2025 Toyota RAV4 has a capable technology package with a standard 7-inch touchscreen or available 10.5-inch touchscreen and Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5. The 2026 Toyota RAV4 upgrades its technology for a more connected cabin that many modern drivers require. The 10.5-inch touchscreen is now standard, with the option for an available 12.9-inch screen. Both of these are Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ enabled and come equipped with Toyota’s new Arene software platform for improved responsiveness and better connectivity.
