If you’ve been waiting for news on the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4 redesign, you aren’t alone. The compact little crossover SUV was actually the top-selling vehicle in America in 2024, dethroning the Ford F-150,

The most significant change from the 2025 to 2026 model year RAV4 is under the hood, where Toyota followed the same steps as the midsize Camry sedan and ditched the gas-only 2.5-liter inline-four cylinder engines that powered previous models for a selection of new hybrid powertrains.

America’s best-selling SUV has some cool features we haven’t seen before, from its new tech to its versatile interior.

Toyota's redesigned compact SUV offers more choices, but the lineup's powertrain menu has been trimmed to two hybrids.

The 2026 C-HR joins Toyota’s growing portfolio of electric vehicles (EVs) as an entry-level model sold alongside the automaker’s existing bZ and new-for-2026 bZ Woodland EVs. Thanks to its distinctive coupe-like profile, it is decidedly different from the bZ variants.

Toyota RAV4 has made its debut as the latest Toyota model to go hybrid-only, available with a conventional hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Like the bZ Woodland, the 2026 C-HR will come with standard all-wheel-drive, two motors delivering a combined 338 hp, enough to hit 60 in about 5 seconds. Its 74.7-kWh battery pack gets an estimated 290 miles of range and, like bZ and bZ Woodland, charging times are estimated at as little as 30 minutes.
