2026 RAV4 | Everything NEW in Toyota's Best-Seller (AU First look)

Video Description

A first look of a pre production 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in Australia. The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is the biggest selling model from Australia’s biggest selling brand, and in this 2026 toyota rav4 first drive we check out a pre-production prototype on local soil. We walk through what has changed and what has not, looking at styling, interior tech, and the significant toyota rav4 price rise that comes with this new generation. This rav4 hybrid prototype keeps the same platform but receives a major facelift, with plugless front and all-wheel drive options and a toyota rav4 plug in hybrid on the way later in 2026. We check out the aggressive new front end, the carryover body and glasshouse, and small but useful practicality tweaks such as a slightly larger boot and a clever centre console bin that doubles as a hard tray for your next Macca’s run. 00:00 Why is the 2026 Toyota RAV4 so important in Australia? 00:22 What changed on the outside of the 2026 Toyota RAV4? 01:22 What is new inside the 2026 Toyota RAV4 interior and tech? 02:43 How much does the 2026 Toyota RAV4 hybrid cost now? 03:05 How does the new RAV4 Hybrid drive compared to the old one? 03:52 Has Toyota done enough to update the new RAV4? Inside, the rav4 interior tour reveals major technology lifts. There is Toyota’s new ARINE operating software across its dual digital screens, a head-up display for the driver, redesigned seats and a more usable centre console. We also assess rear seat space for taller passengers. We also talk pricing, with rav4 hybrid prices rising up to 11 percent and the new plug-in model topping out above $70,000 drive away. At the Anglesea proving ground, we drive both front wheel drive and all wheel drive hybrids back to back with a fifth-generation RAV4 Cruiser to see how the updated car feels compared to its predecessor. By the end, we ask the key question: Has Toyota done enough with this 2026 toyota rav4 facelift to keep its huge following as more brands flood the market with cheaper alternatives?
