2026Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid

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.

Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

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

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.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

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

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.

KBB Editors' Overview

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.

Under the Hood

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;

What's new for

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.

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.
