Interior

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 introduces a completely reimagined cabin that prioritizes premium comfort and next-generation technology. Step inside to find a modern, driver-centric cockpit featuring a standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and an available 12.9-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen. With high-quality materials like available SofTex® or Ultrasuede® upholstery, the interior offers a near-luxury feel that is built to withstand the demands of Chicago life.

Utility remains at the heart of the RAV4 design. The spacious interior comfortably seats five adults, while the rear cargo area offers up to 69.8 cubic feet of space with the rear seats folded. Modern conveniences abound, including an available panoramic glass roof, up to five USB-C charging ports, and a new shift-by-wire toggle that frees up space in the center console for your everyday essentials.

Exterior

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 makes a powerful statement with its sixth-generation redesign, featuring a sleek "hammerhead" front-end design and athletic proportions. Depending on the trim, drivers can choose between three distinct personalities: the clean and sophisticated Core styling, the aggressive Sport look with gloss-black accents, or the rugged Woodland Edition with its split-grille design and raised ride height. Standard LED projector headlights and available 20-inch alloy wheels ensure you stand out from the Magnificent Mile to the suburbs.

Performance

For the 2026 model year, every RAV4 is a hybrid. The standard Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system produces up to 236 net horsepower and features Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, providing the traction you need for snowy Illinois winters. For those seeking even more power, the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) delivers a staggering 320 horsepower and a manufacturer-estimated 50 miles of pure electric driving range. Built on the reinforced TNGA-K platform, the new RAV4 offers a quieter, more composed ride than ever before.
