Highlights of the 2026 Toyota RAV4
Performance
One of the best ways to find out if a new SUV is right for you is to see how it drives and look at what’s under the hood. The powertrain is just part of the equation, with the potential to generate 320 horsepower and a maximum towing capacity of 3500 lbs. when properly equipped. Toyota has done some of their best work on the suspension, ensuring a comfortable ride for you and your passengers. The RAV4 also offers the following:
- Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
- Electronically Controlled Braking (ECB) system with integrated regenerative braking
- Drive mode button with SPORT, Eco and NORMAL modes
Technology
There are options aplenty for technology in the new Toyota RAV4. Expect your fellow travelers to make the most of available multimedia features while you’re on the go. For an even more comprehensive list of available technology features, read this list:
- Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) with direct pressure readout and individual tire location alert
- Downhill Assist Control (DAC)
- Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Design
SUVs are designed to feel as big on the inside as they look on the outside with an emphasis on efficient use of space. The do-it-all attitude of the 2026 RAV4 extends to the cabin, where people and things — 37 cu ft of them — are equally accounted for. The point? Drivers won’t mind handing the keys over to ride shotgun in the RAV4. Some other design features for you to consider are:
- Electric Parking Brake (EPB) with Brake Hold
- Rain-sensing variable intermittent windshield wipers
- Dual zone automatic climate control system with dust and pollen filter and rear-seat vents
