Toyota announced that the 2026 Toyota RAV4 will be exclusively offered as a hybrid or plug-in hybrid, eliminating the traditional gas engine option. This decision follows strong hybrid sales, with nearly half of RAV4 sales in 2024 being hybrids. The move reflects growing consumer demand and Toyota's commitment to hybrid technology. The redesigned RAV4, including interior and exterior upgrades, will be available later this year, though pricing details remain undisclosed. The all-hybrid RAV4 will be Toyota's eighth exclusively hybrid model.
