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.

The all-new, redesigned, and reengineered 6th generation RAV4 compact CUV will be available in Core, Sport, and Rugged series across seven grades
