Just saw the renders for the 2026 Toyota RAV4, and it looks like Toyota’s keeping things fresh but not too wild. The headlights and grille got a bit of a futuristic twist, but the overall vibe is still classic RAV4. The interior’s looking pretty fancy too with chrome and yellow accents. What do you all think? Is this enough to keep it at the top of the SUV game?
The headlights look kinda wacky to me, lol. Not sure if I’m feeling it. What’s with the 3D grille though?

I think the 3D grille is supposed to make it look more premium. But yeah, the headlights are a bit out there.

What’s a 3D grille? Is it just the pattern or something else?

Yeah, it’s just the pattern. It’s got this honeycomb look but with more depth. Kinda cool but also kinda extra.
I’m more interested in the interior. Chrome and yellow? That’s bold. Hope it doesn’t look cheap in person.

Same. I feel like Toyota’s been playing it safe with interiors for a while. This might be a nice change.
Anyone else think the RAV4 is still killing it in sales? 475k units last year is insane.

Yeah, it’s wild. Especially beating the F-150 in single nameplate sales. Toyota knows what they’re doing.

It means they’re counting just the RAV4, not different versions like the Silverado 1500 and HD. So it’s even more impressive.
The rear taillights look sleek. I like how they’re integrated into the glass. Gives it a modern vibe.

Agreed. The rear is probably my favorite part of the redesign. Clean and futuristic.
Do we know if this is a full redesign or just a refresh? The article says it’s more conservative.

Sounds like it’s more of a refresh. Similar to what they did with the 2025 Camry. Not a complete overhaul.
