The Car Guide was given unique access to the all-new, sixth-generation 2026 Toyota RAV4 prior to its official debut on Tuesday night. You don’t want to miss the full story from our colleague Antoine Joubert.

The base powertrain under the hood of the 2026 RAV4 uses a 2.5-liter I4 that works with the fifth-generation Toyota hybrid system’s eCVT to make a combined 226 hp. That’s up from the outgoing RAV4’s internal-combustion base-model’s 203 hp, and the RAV4 Hybrid’s 219 hp.
