Toyota is redesigning and “electrifying” its Rav4 lineup for 2026 with models that aren’t quite EVs, but could masquerade as one. The mega popular SUV will come standard with hybrid powertrains, including a plug-in version with a feature you’d expect in only pure EVs: fast charging.

That’s a big deal because the RAV4 has been the best-selling SUV in America for eight straight years, with nearly half a million units going to new owners last year. Eliminating the gas-only version is the biggest move yet in Toyota’s hybrid strategy, and everyone will reap the benefits.

The plug-in hybrid powertrain gained 18 horsepower for 2026, raising its combined output to 320 hp. Previously, the PHEV was offered in two grades. It has now been expanded to four, adding the Woodland and GR Sport. All PHEVs are AWD.
