CarTell take
We haven't driven the RAV4 yet. On paper, 2026 ANCAP rating is not yet finalised at launch, and hybrid wait times are still measured in months in some metros.
Why consider it
- Hybrid only at entry, no petrol-only option penalises the buyer.
- The new PHEV adds 100 km of pure EV range, and Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 is standard across all 11 variants.
What to know
- 5-year warranty trails the 7 and 10-year Korean and Chinese rivals.
- PHEV pricing tops out at $66,340 plus on-roads for the GR Sport PHEV.
Who it suits
Families and commuters who want hybrid as the default. GXL Hybrid AWD is the volume sweet spot, the XSE PHEV is the pick if you can charge at home.
