The 2026 RAV4 has been completely reimagined from the ground up. Its new design is sharper, more athletic, and undeniably modern. With a wider grille, aggressive LED lighting, and striking character lines, this SUV looks just as good pulling up to downtown Salisbury as it does heading out for a weekend hike in the Uwharrie Mountains.
Toyota has added bold new wheel designs, a fresh color palette, and a reworked rear end with sleeker taillights. Whether you’re into sportier trims or prefer something more refined, there’s a RAV4 that fits your style.
