Toyota is redesigning and “electrifying” its Rav4 lineup for 2026 with models that aren’t quite EVs, but could masquerade as one. The mega popular SUV will come standard with hybrid powertrains, including a plug-in version with a feature you’d expect in only pure EVs: fast charging.

Although the RAV4’s hybrid variants had already started to account for a sizable share of US sales, the new RAV4 makes a significant leap towards electrification.

The newly launched Toyota RAV4 GR Sport is the sportiest RAV4 ever with 320 horsepower and a plug-in hybrid system. Challenging the long-held image of the RAV4 as merely a commuter vehicle, Toyota is actively working to redefine the compact SUV’s reputation.

The Toyota RAV4 is finally here and is now completely hybrid, which is not surprising considering the success of the automaker’s electrified models. Now in its sixth generation, America’s bestselling nameplate (yes, even outselling the Ford F-150 in 2024) is flush with options, but all of them will be electrified in one way or another.

Toyota has refreshed its RAV4, and as usual, it's doing its best to confuse consumers into thinking it's greener than it is.
