Explore the All-New Toyota RAV4 at Ottawa Toyota
For nearly 30 years, the RAV4 has led the small SUV segment, and the sixth generation marks the biggest change the nameplate has seen in that time. For 2026, Toyota moves the entire RAV4 lineup to 100% electrified power, with the Hybrid now standing on its own as the mainstream choice. Ottawa Toyota carries the all-new RAV4 Hybrid for LaSalle County shoppers who want America's best-selling small SUV with genuinely improved efficiency.
A Front-Wheel-Drive Hybrid for the First Time
The 2026 RAV4 debuts Toyota's fifth-generation Hybrid system on an SUV model, and for the first time, it's available with front-wheel drive. FWD Hybrid models produce 226 net combined system horsepower, an 11% increase over the prior generation's gas-only FWD model.
236 Horsepower on AWD Hybrid Models
Stepping up to all-wheel drive brings the Hybrid's output to 236 net combined system horsepower, up from 219 on the previous generation. Both figures reflect a genuine powertrain improvement, not just a trim reshuffle.
Three Design Styles Across Seven Grades
The all-new RAV4 is available in three distinct exterior styles across seven grades. The Core design includes LE, XLE Premium, and Limited; the Sport design covers SE and XSE; and the Rugged design is represented by the newly standalone Woodland grade.
The Woodland Grade Goes Standalone
Toyota is making the RAV4 Woodland a standalone grade for 2026, available as a Hybrid with standard all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, a split hammerhead grille, a tow hitch receiver, and Woodland-branded all-weather floor and cargo mats. It's a genuine outdoor-focused option within the Hybrid lineup.
Up to 3,500 Pounds of Towing on AWD Models
Hybrid AWD grades including XLE, Woodland, SE, XSE, and Limited can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, a genuine improvement in the RAV4's towing capability for 2026. FWD models and the LE AWD are rated up to 1,750 pounds.
An EV Mode for Short, Low-Speed Electric Driving
The RAV4 Hybrid includes an EV mode, allowing the vehicle to operate as a pure electric vehicle for short distances at low speed, depending on conditions like battery charge level. It's a genuinely useful feature for quiet, efficient driving around a parking lot or neighborhood.
New Technology With the Arene Software Platform
The new RAV4 launches Toyota's Arene software development platform, along with an updated version of the Toyota Audio Multimedia system and the latest Toyota Safety Sense suite. It's a meaningful technology leap for a vehicle built on a modernized TNGA-K unibody platform.
