Toyota RAV4 2026 Video Review

Australia’s favourite SUV has had a glow-up, with the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to usher in a new look, new tech and – in big news for Toyota – the brand's first plug-in hybrid variant.

And this model comes with a big, bold promise from Toyota – the new RAV4 will be Australia's best-selling vehicle. Of this, the brand has no doubt. Though I'd argue that's more up to you, dear reader, than it is up to them.

Not helping in the sales regard is the fact the new RAV4 also welcomes near range-wide (and sometimes pretty significant) price increases. The new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid range (arriving in Australia in the first half of 2026) will start with the GX 2WD, which lists at $45,990, and then tops out with the Cruiser AWD at $60,340. The PHEV family (which won't arrive until Q3 next year) starts from $58,840 for the XSE 2WD, and tops out with the new GR Sport AWD at $66,340.
