The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid continues to lead the charge in the compact SUV segment with plug-in performance, standard all-wheel drive, and a smooth, electrified driving experience that delivers serious capability. This plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) delivers 324 net combined horsepower, up to 52 miles of EPA-estimated EV range, and multiple driving modes that make every trip more efficient.
For 2026, the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid is available in four trims: SE, XSE, the off-road-oriented Woodland Edition, and the all-new GR Sport. Each one brings its own blend of technology, comfort, and personality to the electrified SUV experience. Whether you’re aiming for sporty road handling or rugged outdoor performance, the RAV4 PHEV lineup has it covered – and every version includes a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, AWD, and Toyota’s latest safety innovations.

The Woodland Edition offers a more rugged aesthetic with 18-inch bronze-finished wheels, black badging, and exclusive roof rails.

Depending on trim level, drivers can get up to 52 miles of EV-only range and an manufacturer-estimated 107 MPGe in combined electric and gas driving. When the battery is depleted, the vehicle switches to hybrid mode and delivers an manufacturer-estimated 41 mpg combined on select trim levels. EV, HV, and Auto EV/HV drive modes let drivers choose how and when electric power is used.
