The 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid makes a benchmark compact SUV even better with higher fuel efficiency and more power.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Pricier than rivals</li>
<li>Slightly less efficient than rivals</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

Since it has hybrid in its name, you would expect the CR-V Hybrid to be more efficient than its gas-only sibling (and it is), but the icing on this electrified cake is that it’s more powerful, too. Thanks to the pairing of both gasoline and electrons, the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid makes 204 hp, versus the 190 hp in gas-only models. That’s less than the 226 hp of the forthcoming 2026 Toyota RAV4, the 231 hp of the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, 227 hp of the Kia Sportage Hybrid, and 219 hp of the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. But with numbers this close, it feels like quibbling.
The takeaway is that the Honda CR-V Hybrid feels confident in every situation and, numbers aside, many of our editors simply prefer the way the CR-V drives and handles. In our testing, which has involved hundreds — well, probably thousands — of miles, we’ve found it a satisfying and easygoing partner, whether running errands around town or trekking for hours on end on the highway.
In the latter situation, we especially appreciate Honda’s easy-to-set and easy-to-use adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assist. The system is part of the Honda Sensing suite, and works smoothly and easily. We also appreciate the CR-V’s excellent visibility and comfortable seats.
Fuel Economy
The CR-V Hybrid is among the most fuel-efficient compact SUVs on the market. With front-wheel drive, it delivers 40 mpg in combined city/highway driving or 37 mpg with all-wheel drive. Still, the Kia Sportage Hybrid edges those numbers with 43 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 38 mpg with all-wheel drive. The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Mazda CX-50 Hybrid, which have all-wheel drive standard, both hit 38 mpg combined.
Hybrid Fuel Savings
At 15,000 miles a year, a front-wheel-drive CR-V Hybrid will use 10 fewer gallons a month than its gasoline-only counterpart. Even at $3 per gallon, that’s a savings of $30 every month. Looking at a full 5-year buy/drive/sell ownership cycle, those savings would more than make up for the hybrid’s relatively nominal price premium. The hybrid also requires about 10 fewer trips to the gas station each year.

Confident Exterior

Exterior

There’s a maturity to the exterior design of this latest generation of CR-V. As there should be, considering this is the sixth iteration of it. But where previous models tried to be the most anonymous thing in the parking lot, there’s now greater presence, in a tasteful way. Some of the subtler touches include a wide and upright windshield, contributing to excellent outward vision.
The most visually interesting trim in the CR-V Hybrid is the new TrailSport. Meant to evoke a more rugged image, the new CR-V Hybrid TrailSport has a unique front fascia and what Honda calls a &#8220;skid garnish&#8221; (if not a traditional plate); all-terrain tires; blacked out spoiler, door handles, and other bits; and orange TrailSport badges on the front and back. We especially like the Ash Green exterior color exclusive to this model.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Phone integration is rather ubiquitous at this point, but that hasn’t dulled its appeal. For 2026, we appreciate that it’s now wireless across the board.
Wireless charging 
Another feature that is now standard on every 2026 CR-V Hybrid model. You won’t believe how convenient this is until you use it, especially those instances when your phone is low on juice.
Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock 
Standard on all CR-V Hybrid trims, we’ve found this self-locking/unlocking function both convenient and comforting.
All-wheel drive 
For buyers living in areas where the weather gets rough, we’d say all-wheel drive is worth the extra money for the added reassurance. It’s standard on the TrailSport and Sport Touring trims and optional on the others.
Digital instrument cluster 
The new 10.2-inch digital instrument display brings a welcome dash of innovation to the CR-V Hybrid’s cabin, and makes it easy to see a lot of information at once. It’s standard on all but the Sport trim.
Efficiency 
It’s the reason you buy a hybrid. The fact that you can get 40 mpg combined in such a modern, technically advanced SUV as the CR-V still brings a smile to our face — especially as we drive past all those gas stations.

Spacious, Smart Interior

Interior

The CR-V treats the driver and front passenger to what Honda calls &#8220;body-stabilizing seats,&#8221; designed to promote ideal posture and reduce fatigue. We’ve found that they indeed feel comfortable, supportive, and fine for long stints. The rear seats treat occupants to 41 inches of legroom — downright expansive for a compact SUV.
We’re happy to see a bigger touchscreen standard as part of the CR-V Hybrid’s update for the 2026 model year. The 9-inch touchscreen keeps the CR-V competitive, but still can’t match the standard 12.3-inch displays of the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, or the available 12.9-inch in the 2026 RAV4. The CR-V Hybrid also has a 7-inch digital instrument cluster on Sport trims, while the TrailSport, Sport-L, and Sport Touring models get a new 10.2-inch unit.
Behind the rear seats of the CR-V Hybrid, there is an impressive 36.3 cubic feet of cargo space. With the rear seats folded down, the maximum volume is 76.5 cubic feet; that&#8217;s as good as this compact SUV class gets, and even more, considering this is a hybrid with a battery pack to hide.

KBB Editors' Overview

As our top-ranked compact SUV, we’ve found much to love about the Honda CR-V, from its easygoing manners and roomy interior to a record of reliability and high resale value earned over not just years but decades. Endowing Honda’s best-selling model with a gas-electric powertrain only makes it better. The 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid represents the upper class of the CR-V range, and savvy shoppers will quickly see its appeal. Beyond being more efficient than the standard CR-V to the tune of up to 40 mpg combined, the CR-V Hybrid is also more powerful.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

Engine &amp; Transmission
The 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid employs a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor working together to create a total of 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. This energy goes through an automatic transmission to the road via front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive (optional in Sport and Sport-L versions, standard in the TrailSport and Sport Touring models).
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
The CR-V Hybrid has a basic new-vehicle warranty of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. This guarantee is typical for mainstream companies like Honda, although Hyundai and Kia offer longer terms. The powertrain is covered for five years or 60,000 miles, while the hybrid battery has a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles. Honda also includes complimentary maintenance for the first two years or 24,000 miles.
Safety Ratings
The Honda CR-V is rated as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), the agency’s second-highest accolade. It also took a maximum 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, road departure mitigation, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control with a low-speed follow function.

The 2026 Honda CR-V remains a benchmark among compact SUVs, masterfully combining practicality, efficiency, and easy driving manners.

<ul>
<li>Infotainment still isn&#8217;t cutting edge</li>
</ul>

Remember how we compared the Honda CR-V to a golden retriever? That carries over to its driving experience. To break down the furry analogy, we mean that the Honda CR-V simply pleases no matter the situation. Yes, there are other SUVs that are faster, more engaging, and more off-road-worthy. But few — perhaps none, even — just do the everyday stuff as well, as easily, and as courteously as the CR-V.
We’ve found the CR-V’s powertrain is responsive, its steering and braking inputs natural, and its overall driving manners are comfortable and easygoing. Visibility is good, power is adequate, and even its continuously variable automatic transmission is near the top in not feeling like the droning CVTs of yore.
Fuel Economy
A 2026 Honda CR-V with front-wheel drive achieves 30 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Opting for all-wheel drive hardly makes a dent, costing just one mpg for 29 combined. For those seeking even higher fuel efficiency, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v-hybrid/">CR-V Hybrid</a> can manage an impressive 40 mpg combined (and it’s quicker).

There’s a maturity to the exterior design of this latest-gen CR-V. As there should be, considering this is the sixth iteration of it. But where previous models tried to be the most anonymous thing in the parking lot, there’s now a greater presence — in a tasteful way. Some of the subtler touches include a wide and upright windshield, contributing to excellent outward vision. The base LX comes with 17-inch steel wheels; 18-inch alloy wheels are fitted to the rest of the range. Running boards, fender flares, and a tailgate spoiler are all optional.

Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Phone integration is rather ubiquitous at this point, but that hasn’t dulled its appeal. For 2026, we appreciate that it’s now wireless across the board.
Wireless charging 
Another feature that is now standard on all 2026 CR-V models. You won’t believe how convenient this is until you use it — especially those instances when your phone is low on juice.
Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock 
Fitted to the one-up-from-base EX trim and beyond, we’ve found this self-locking/unlocking function both convenient and comforting.
All-wheel drive 
For buyers living in areas where the weather gets rough, we’d say it’s worth the extra money for the added reassurance of all-wheel drive. It’s optional in each of the three CR-V trims.
Digital instrument cluster 
The new 10.2-inch digital instrument display in the EX-L brings a welcome dash of innovation to the CR-V’s cabin and makes it easy to see a lot of information at once. The two lower trims have a 7-inch unit.
Parking sensors 
We always think that extra help when parking is handy. These come in at the EX-L level, with four at each end.

The Honda CR-V treats the driver and passenger to what it calls Body Stabilizing Seats, designed to promote ideal posture and reduce fatigue. We’ve found that they do indeed feel comfortable, supportive, and fine for long stints. The rear seats have seat belt reminders, and their occupants enjoy an expansive 41 inches of legroom.
We’re happy to see a bigger touchscreen standard as part of the CR-V’s 2026 freshening. The 9-inch touchscreen keeps the CR-V competitive, but still can’t match the standard 12.3-inch displays of the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, or the available 12.9-inch in the 2026 RAV4. The CR-V also has a 7-inch digital instrument cluster on LX and EX trims, with the EX-L getting a new 10.2-inch unit.
The L of EX-L signifies leather seating surfaces, and that top model is also blessed with a power tailgate, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and upgraded 8-speaker audio system.
Behind the rear seats is a substantial 39.3 cubic feet of cargo space — visibly more than, say, the Mazda CX-50. Our backs have also appreciated how the cargo floor is set conveniently low. With the rear seats folded down, maximum volume is 76.5 cubic feet, as good as this compact SUV class gets.

The Honda CR-V is a shining example of what happens when an already excellent vehicle only strives to improve upon itself. Year after year, decade after decade, Honda’s best-selling model has done just that. The result is the golden retriever of compact SUVs, one that can satisfy just about any buyer thanks to its usefulness and ready-for-anything persona.
As our top-rated compact SUV and prevailing <a href="https://www.kbb.com/awards/best-buy-awards-2025-honda-cr-v-compact-suv/">Best Buy Award winner</a> in the segment, there wasn’t much the Honda CR-V could do to better itself. Yet for 2026 it comes updated in the aspect where it was falling behind — in the tech department — all while retaining the value, friendly manners, and comfortable accommodations its loyalists love.
The Honda CR-V is also available as a hybrid, which we review separately.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the Honda CR-V.

The Honda CR-V faces roughly a dozen rivals in the compact SUV segment, the most popular — and crowded — field of vehicles. Unsurprisingly, such fierce competition means prices don’t fluctuate drastically between the top players in this category. The CR-V has traditionally been close in pricing to its archrival, the Toyota RAV4, but we’re still awaiting word on how much the 2026 RAV4 will cost as it <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/all-new-2026-toyota-rav4-comes-in-many-styles-hybrid-only/">enters an all-new generation</a> and becomes hybrid only. Rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/rogue/">Nissan Rogue</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a> will likely continue to slot in a bit below the CR-V in pricing.
Before buying a new CR-V compact SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. The CR-V’s resale values are comfortably above average, with the hybrid version faring a little better. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Turbocharging has evolved to such sophisticated heights that it can perform the neat trick of maximizing power output while still achieving decent fuel economy. The CR-V’s output is 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. An automatic transmission sends drive to the front wheels in standard form. All-wheel drive is optional. For reference, the CR-V Hybrid comes with 204 hp. A maximum tow rating of 1,500 pounds is on the weak side, but people rarely use a compact SUV for towing.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
The basic new-vehicle warranty for the CR-V compact SUV is three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. The powertrain’s warranty lasts five years or 60,000 miles. These terms are typical for the class. Honda also adds complimentary maintenance for the first two years or 24,000 miles.

2026Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid

2026Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid Archives - Kelley Blue Book

toyota

toyota Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is all-new and comes packing up to 320 horsepower and the ability to drive 50 miles on electric power.

The last generation of the Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid (which, for years, was called the RAV4 Prime) was like a secret weapon in Toyota’s lineup, and it was the kind of sleeper driving enthusiasts love. That’s because it had 302 hp and could do zero to 60 mph in a swift 5.7 seconds. This all-new one is even better.
The 2026 version of the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid now has 320 hp and is estimated to travel up to 50 miles on battery power alone – eight more than the prior version. As before, you also get all-wheel drive as standard, which helps with performance and traction in foul weather.
That grip will also surely be utilized in the two new trims of the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid: Woodland and GR Sport. We’ve seen a Woodland before, and it’s the more outdoorsy sibling with all-terrain tires and a taller ride height. The GR Sport looks to be the wild child and is a first for the RAV4 lineup. It represents the most performance-oriented version of the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.
<h3>Fuel economy</h3>
Toyota has yet to release numbers on the efficiency of the new hybrid powertrain in the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, but has estimated it can travel up to 50 miles on battery power alone. That would be eight miles beyond the class-leading numbers of the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in, making this new one all the more a viable alternative to an all-electric vehicle. Of course, the beauty of a plug-in hybrid is that once the juice runs out in the battery, there’s a gasoline engine to power your travels as far and as wide as you’d like to travel.

Fresh Yet Familiar Exterior

The 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid keeps a similar silhouette as the outgoing model but has enough new traits to make it look fresh. We think Toyota did a great balancing act here.
The well-known angular profile and smaller details like the horizontal black line across the D-pillar remain. Even the dimensions are the same: 180.9 inches in length for most models, though the Woodland and GR Sport variants stretch to 181.8.
Also returning is the option for two-tone paint options, including the new Meteor Shower with a black roof on the XSE trim or the GR Sport’s exclusive pairing of Supersonic Red with a black roof.
A sweeping fascia spans the front, and a wide-looking rear bears “RAV4” emblazoned across the middle of the tailgate.
RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid Woodland models portray a more adventurous image with a bit more ground clearance, all-terrain tires, Rigid Industries LED lighting, and roof rails with crossbars.

50 miles battery range: If Toyota’s estimated battery-only driving range holds up, it will easily beat the 30-ish miles that the best of its competitors can do. With that kind of range, fuel fill-ups can be even less frequent.
GR Sport: Getting its GR name from Toyota’s Gazoo Racing department, this first-of-its-kind performance model for the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid spices things up with sport-tuned suspension and steering, added body rigidity, summer tires, and more.
Standard all-wheel drive: Along with a potent powertrain and exceptional driving range, standard all-wheel drive only adds to the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid’s attractiveness.
Toyota Safety Sense 4.0: The latest and greatest version of Toyota’s active safety suite debuts in the 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid. Details are still forthcoming, but even version 3.0 wowed us with features like its Proactive Driving Assist.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto: This is becoming more common on new cars, but it’s not always a given or standard. All 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid models get it, and we’re glad they do.

Upgrade Interior

The 2026 RAV4’s 5-passenger interior, while all new, continues the Toyota tradition of being sensible and spacious. The RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid gets upgrades in the tech department that we are happy to see. All models receive a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while the touchscreen at its smallest is 10.5 inches or, optionally, 12.9 inches.
Toyota has made climate controls digital and located them on the touchscreen, with hard controls for changing temperature and defrost settings below the screen itself. There is, however, a physical volume knob in the middle. A head-up display is available on XSE models.
Seating materials range from fabric to Toyota’s sturdy SofTex leather-like material. Color options include black or light gray, or the new Mineral shade in the Woodland trim. XSE and GR Sport models get microsuede and SofTex. GR Sport models are further distinguished with GR logos in the front headrests and steering wheel, paddle shifters, and aluminum sport pedals.
Toyota has yet to reveal the full interior specs of the new 2026 RAV4, but seeing as its exterior dimensions are the same as those of the outgoing model, which had generous cargo and passenger room for its class, we predict those positive traits will carry over.

The Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid takes all the things we love about the RAV4 and adds a lot more. In this case, by more, we mean more power – up to 320 horsepower – and more efficiency thanks to the ability to drive up to 50 miles on battery power alone. Like the standard 2026 RAV4 that we review separately, the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is all new for the 2026 model year. In addition to boasting more power and range than the prior generation, this one has fresh looks, the latest technology, and for the first time, will be available as a performance model called the GR Sport edition or an outdoorsy variant called the Woodland.
The choice of plug-in hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a> is still a bit limited, but the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid looks to bring its A game to plug-in hybrid variants of the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, and Mitsubishi Outlander.

Toyota has yet to reveal official pricing, but we estimate the 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid will start around $45,000.

The field of plug-in hybrid compact SUVs is relatively small, but there are a few rivals to the RAV4 PHEV. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage-plug-in-hybrid/">Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid</a> starts in the low $40,000 range, as does its cousin the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson-plug-in-hybrid/">Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid</a>. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mitsubishi/outlander-phev/">Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV</a>, which is also the only compact SUV to come with 3-row seating, starts just above $42,000.

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid comes standard with a gas-electric powertrain that marries a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and battery-fed electric motor. While even the standard RAV4 is now a hybrid, the plug-in version has a larger battery pack that allows for up to 50 miles of electric-only driving.
The “plug-in” part means you recharge the battery from a power receptacle that can range from a standard household power outlet to a 240-volt Level 2 charger. RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid XSE and Woodland models get a high-speed CCS charging port, while SE and GR Sport models use a J1772. We’re still awaiting word on charge time estimates.
The RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid has standard all-wheel drive and up to 320 combined horsepower — a seriously impressive number. It can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Toyota’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This is typical for the class. Hybrid components have a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles, and the hybrid battery is protected for 10 years or 150,000 miles. Toyota also includes two years or 25,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance, plus two years of roadside assistance with unlimited mileage.
The 2026 RAV4 also includes ToyotaCare, which covers factory-scheduled maintenance for two years/25,000 miles, whichever comes first, along with two years of roadside assistance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Although the 2026 Toyota RAV4 has yet to be crash tested, we know that, like all new Toyota products, it will feature a robust suite of active safety and driver assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.
&nbsp;

As with the standard RAV4 Hybrid, everything. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/all-new-2026-toyota-rav4-comes-in-many-styles-hybrid-only/">The Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is completely new for the 2026 model year</a>, debuting the sixth generation of Toyota’s plug-in hybrid system. Other new highlights include a standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and the introduction of Arene, Toyota’s latest software platform. The 2026 RAV4 lineup will be the first to bring Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, which bundles several advanced active safety systems as standard.

2026Toyota RAV4

2026Toyota RAV4 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is all-new, packing a standard hybrid powertrain, a wide choice of models, and the latest tech and safety features.

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 now comes exclusively with a gas-electric powertrain. In addition to bringing superior fuel economy over a standard gasoline engine, this setup actually has more power than both the outgoing gas RAV4 and prior RAV4 Hybrid models. It’s also available with front-wheel drive (FWD) for the first time as a hybrid, in addition to all-wheel drive (AWD).
Front-drive models have a combined 226 horsepower, while all-wheel-drive versions make 236 hp. These numbers beat the old peaks of 203 and 219 hp, respectively, of the prior RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid, not to mention current competitors.
We’ve tested this powertrain extensively in the Camry sedan and were simply wowed by how good it is. There was always plenty of power — more than plenty, actually — and excellent fuel efficiency. We hope for and anticipate a similar experience in the new RAV4.
Fuel economy
Toyota has yet to release numbers on the efficiency of the new hybrid powertrain in the RAV4, but we expect them to be good. The prior RAV4 Hybrid achieved up to 39 mpg in combined city/highway driving.

Familiar Exterior

The 2026 RAV4 looks like a masterclass in revamping a vehicle’s design, yet also keeping it familiar. To wit, the new RAV4 maintains its angular profile in general and smaller details like the horizontal black line across the D-pillar. It even keeps the exact length as the outgoing model — 180.9 inches. Yet, the 2026 model is fresher, too, with a sweeping front fascia and wide-looking rear with RAV4 emblazoned in capital letters across the middle of the tailgate.
Toyota classifies the 2026 RAV4 into three unique designs: Core, Rugged, and Sport, with each aesthetic bringing distinct traits. For example, the Woodland trim, which represents the Rugged design theme, is a half-inch higher, thanks to standard all-terrain tires. Also, it comes with raised roof rails and features integrated LED lighting from Rigid Industries. Core models include the LE, XLE, and Limited trims, and Sport is home to the SE and XSE trims. Wheel sizes for the new RAV4 range from 17 to 20 inches. As before, two-tone color schemes with a black roof are available.

Hybrid powertrain: Great fuel economy? Check. Great power? Check. The beauty of Toyota’s hybrid systems is that they get you both. And in the all-new RAV4, you get the system standard.
Toyota Safety Sense 4.0: The latest and greatest version of Toyota’s active safety suite debuts in the 2026 RAV4. Details are still forthcoming, but even version 3.0 wowed us with features like its Proactive Driving Assist.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto: This is becoming more common on new cars, but it’s not always a given or standard. All 2026 RAV4 models get it, and we’re glad they do.

Roomy, Updated Interior

While all new, the 2026 RAV4’s 5-passenger interior continues the Toyota tradition of being sensible and spacious. As expected, the RAV4 also sees welcome upgrades in the tech department. All models receive a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while the touchscreen at its smallest is 10.5 inches or, optionally, 12.9 inches.
Toyota has made climate controls digital and located in the touchscreen, with hard controls for changing temperature and defrost settings below the screen itself. Mercifully, there is a volume knob in the middle. Limited models offer an available head-up display.
Depending on the trim, the new RAV4 will have a traditional, upright and meaty shift lever or something more akin to a tiny nub. Some buyers have strong opinions about these setups, so we mention that here if you are among them. You can choose the trim according to the setup you like.
Seating materials range from fabric to Toyota’s sturdy SofTex leather-like material. Color choices include black or light gray, or the new Mineral shade in the Woodland trim. XSE models have premium perforated Ultrasuede seating material and colorful accents throughout the cabin.
Toyota has yet to reveal the full interior specs of the new 2026 RAV4. Still, seeing as its exterior dimensions mirror those of the outgoing model, which had generous cargo and passenger room for its class, we predict those positive traits will carry over.
