FULL TOUR OF 2026 TOYOTA RAV4 LIMITED, WOODLAND, AND GR SPORT

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 undergoes a significant redesign, marking its 6th generation and a complete shift to electrified powertrains, available as either Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The GR Sport trim, a first for the RAV4 in America, boasts GR-tuned handling, aggressive styling, and an exhilarating PHEV powertrain with standard AWD, delivering up to 320 hp and an estimated 50-mile all-electric range. The Woodland grade offers a rugged aesthetic with all-terrain tires, higher ride height, and standard AWD on both HEV and PHEV versions, featuring a notable 1500-watt accessory power outlet. The Limited trim presents a more premium look with chrome accents and optional features like a panoramic roof. Key improvements across the lineup include a more powerful 5th generation hybrid system (236 hp for AWD models) and the introduction of front-wheel-drive hybrid options for the first time. The interior sees upgrades with a standard 12-inch infotainment screen (or 10.5-inch on base models), improved materials, and new technology like Toyota's Arene software. While the GR Sport impresses with its sporty features and performance, the Woodland grade stands out for its distinctive styling and off-road readiness. The reviewer highlights the improved interior quality, especially compared to some Lexus models, and the overall appeal of the redesigned RAV4, positioning it to further dominate the market.
