2026 6th Generation Toyota RAV4 Goes All Hybrid All the Time

Jan 19, 2026

The new 2026 Toyota RAV4 leaves the ICE powertrain behind to go fully hybrid, both traditional HEV and plug-in hybrid with up to 52 miles of all-electric range. Plus there’s a new performance version, the GR Sport with RAV4’s most potent powertrain ever.  Tom Voelk travels to Phoenix, AZ to drive three different flavors of the 6th generation RAV4, the Limited HEV, the off-road oriented Woodland with PHEV power, and PHEV-only GR Sport.
