THE 2026 TOYOTA RAV4 WOODLAND IS AN ADVENTURE SET HYBRID SUV FOR ACTIVE FAMILIES

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Woodland marks a significant redesign, moving to a hybrid-only powertrain and introducing a sixth generation. This Woodland Edition builds upon the previous TRD Off-Road and Woodland trims, positioning itself as the most capable hybrid RAV4 to date. Key highlights include the standard electronic all-wheel drive system delivering 236 horsepower, with an optional plug-in hybrid variant offering up to 320 horsepower and an estimated 50 miles of electric-only range. The exterior boasts a unique front fascia, LED fog lights by Rigid Industries, and all-terrain tires contributing to an inch of added height. The interior features a new mineral softex color with orange accents, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster standard on all trims, and a 10.5-inch infotainment display. While not explicitly detailed, the reviewer notes the potential for enhanced ground clearance and unique suspension tuning for the Woodland trim. The reviewer praises the modern infotainment, comfortable seats, and spacious interior, particularly highlighting the innovative, reversible center console lid. The availability of a plug-in hybrid variant with DC fast charging (on select trims) is seen as a significant advantage in the compact SUV segment. However, the reviewer notes the absence of features like auto-dimming mirrors and JBL audio on this specific trim, suggesting they may be reserved for higher grades.
