The 2026 Toyota RAV4 arrives fully redesigned for its sixth generation — and for the first time, every RAV4 is electrified. Toyota has dropped the gas-only engine entirely, so the lineup is now hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) only. For Dallas drivers navigating I-635 and the LBJ Freeway, that means strong efficiency, more power than the model it replaces, and the all-weather security of available all-wheel drive. Browse the current 2026 RAV4 lineup at Legacy Toyota of Dallas, or call our sales team to check live availability.
The redesign brings a more modern, tech-forward cabin. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is standard on every trim, a 10.5-inch touchscreen is standard, and a larger 12.9-inch touchscreen is available on the XSE, Limited, and GR Sport. The new system runs Toyota’s Arene software platform with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Every 2026 RAV4 also comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, which includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. With 37.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats — expanding to 70.4 cubic feet with them folded — the RAV4 keeps the practicality Dallas families count on.
The 2026 RAV4 lineup spans seven trims across three design themes — Core (LE, XLE Premium, Limited), Rugged (Woodland), and Sport (SE, XSE, GR Sport) — available as standard hybrids and, on select trims, as plug-in hybrids. The hybrid LE starts the lineup, while the PHEV-exclusive GR Sport tops it as the most powerful RAV4 ever. Starting TSRPs below include destination.

TSRP on new inventory covers manufacturer/distributor equipment and logistics fees, all of which are subject to revision.

Efficiency is the RAV4’s headline story for 2026. The most efficient configuration — the front-wheel-drive hybrid on LE, SE, and XLE Premium — earns an EPA-estimated 47 city / 40 highway / 43 combined MPG. All-wheel-drive hybrids remain strong, and the plug-in hybrid models add meaningful all-electric range for short Dallas commutes.
| Configuration | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE / SE / XLE Premium (FWD) | 47 | 40 | 43 |
| LE / SE (AWD) | 46 | 39 | 42 |
| XLE Premium (AWD) | 45 | 38 | 41 |
| XSE / Limited (AWD) | 43 | 37 | 41 |
| Woodland (AWD) | 41 | 35 | 38 |
| Plug-in Hybrid (up to, mfr-estimated) | 44 | 38 | 41 |
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Every 2026 RAV4 pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with Toyota’s hybrid system and an electronically controlled CVT. Standard hybrids produce 226 horsepower with front-wheel drive and 236 horsepower with all-wheel drive; the plug-in hybrid steps up to 324 horsepower with standard AWD. Front-wheel drive is standard on the LE, SE, and XLE Premium, with AWD available; the Woodland, XSE, and Limited come with AWD standard. Towing capacity, when properly equipped, breaks down by trim and drivetrain as follows.
| Trim | Powertrain | Max Towing (lbs) |

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
