A brand new RAV4 hits Canadian roads in 2026, bringing standard hybrid power, an all-new system architecture and fresh styling to the table. The base powertrain option is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid, while those who want more power and some all-electric range can opt for the plug-in hybrid model. Driving refinement has been enhanced for this new model, which expands its model lineup with an adventure focused Woodland trim and a fun GR Sport model.
Juror Stephanie Wallcraft had this to say in her Toyota RAV4 review published in RoadTripper.ca:
“However, given that Toyota was already having hard time keeping up with RAV4 Hybrid demand during the previous generation’s run, we fully expect the 2026 Toyota RAV4 to retain its best-selling status. It takes the best of what has made the RAV4 Canada’s most popular SUV for years and adds value through new features and better technologies. And as a bonus, the 2026 Toyota RAV4 hybrid continues to be proudly made in Canada.”
2026 Toyota RAV4 Review: Canadian-made and better than ever
Juror Jesse Caron had this to say in her Toyota RAV4 review published in CAA-Quebec:
“The redesign of the Toyota RAV4 addresses many of the weaknesses of the outgoing generation while preserving most of the fundamental aspects that made it a success. The spacious interior for the vehicle’s size, the numerous storage compartments, and the simplified operation of the central screen reinforce the appeal and safety aspects of this compact SUV pioneer.”
