The all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4 arrives with a complete redesign, marking a major turning point in the history of one of Canada’s most popular compact SUVs.
The team at Toyota St-Léonard is ready to welcome you and introduce this redesigned and electrified model as soon as it arrives in dealership.
1. A New Electrified Era
The 2026 RAV4 is engineered to deliver a more efficient, smarter, and more modern driving experience. The lineup now focuses exclusively on electrified powertrains—hybrid and plug-in hybrid—with no gasoline-only engine offered for 2026.
This strategic shift makes it your last opportunity to own a 100% gasoline-powered 2025 RAV4 before Toyota transitions fully to hybrid power in this segment. Do not miss this opportunity if a gas-only engine is important to you.
2. Completely Redesigned Platform and Styling
The sixth-generation RAV4 is built on a new, more rigid platform that enhances handling, delivers a quieter ride, and improves overall comfort for all passengers.
On the exterior, the RAV4 features a bolder, more modern, and more rugged design, with well-balanced SUV proportions and contemporary details that clearly set it apart from the previous generation.
3. Improved Performance and Efficiency
Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system delivers increased power and enhanced fuel efficiency.
Select trims also offer plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options for drivers seeking even greater performance and meaningful electric-only driving range.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is standard on most Canadian configurations, providing confident traction in all weather conditions.
4. Advanced Onboard Technology
The 2026 RAV4 introduces cutting-edge technology, including:
-
A next-generation multimedia system with an advanced digital interface
-
The full Toyota Safety Sense™ 4.0 suite, featuring enhanced safety and driver-assistance technologies
This reflects Toyota’s continued commitment to safety, comfort, and connectivity across its entire lineup.
5. Interior Designed Around the Driver
The cabin is designed to be spacious, comfortable, and versatile, featuring high-quality materials and smart storage solutions. Heated seats, keyless entry, and additional comfort features are available depending on the trim level.
