Toyota has announced that the sixth-generation RAV4 will be hybrid-only starting in 2026, eliminating the gas-only variant. This decision is significant as the RAV4 has been the best-selling SUV in America for the last eight years. The shift towards hybrids, including conventional and plug-in variants, aims to lower fuel costs and emissions, while also helping consumers transition to electric vehicles. The new plug-in hybrids will feature CCS ports for DC fast charging and will have enhanced electric-only ranges, offering more power and efficiency than before.
Toyota is making the all-new, sixth-generation RAV4 hybrid-only, eliminating gas-only versions to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
With nearly half a million RAV4 units sold last year, this significant decision marks a big step in Toyota's hybrid strategy for reducing vehicle emissions.
Recognizing that many consumers lack convenient access to charging, the hybrid route allows them to acclimate to electrification, enhancing the likelihood of transitioning to EVs in the future.
The new 2026 RAV4 will be available in both conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, with the latter introducing CCS1 charging ports for faster charging.
