The all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid arrives at Tustin Toyota completely redesigned — delivering 324 net combined horsepower, an EPA-estimated 54-mile all-electric driving range on the SE, and standard all-wheel drive across four distinct trims. Whether you’re commuting through Tustin, Irvine, or Huntington Beach, this plug-in hybrid SUV combines thrilling performance with everyday efficiency for drivers throughout Orange County.
The 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid — formerly known as the RAV4 Prime — represents a ground-up redesign with major upgrades over the outgoing model. Horsepower jumps from 302 to 324 net combined. All-electric range extends from 42 miles to up to 54 miles on the SE. Towing capacity increases from 2,500 to 3,500 pounds on SE, Woodland, and XSE trims. The trim lineup expands from two options to four — including the all-new Woodland adventure trim and the first-ever GR SPORT performance trim tuned by GAZOO Racing. Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 replaces the outgoing 2.5 system, and a standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster comes on every trim. See our 2026 vs 2025 RAV4 comparison for a full side-by-side breakdown.
The 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with dual electric motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery to produce 324 net combined horsepower — accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. Standard all-wheel drive distributes power to all four wheels automatically, and towing capacity reaches 3,500 pounds on the SE, Woodland, and XSE trims.
Fuel efficiency varies by trim: the SE and XSE each achieve an estimated 40 mpg combined in gas-only mode, the Woodland an estimated 37 mpg, and the GR SPORT an estimated 36 mpg. The cabin seats five passengers with 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to over 63 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
All MPG and MPGe figures shown are EPA estimates. Actual mileage will vary based on driving conditions, vehicle condition, and other factors.

Up to an EPA-estimated 54 miles of all-electric driving on the SE — enough for most daily commutes without using a drop of gasoline.
Level 2 charging in as little as 2.5 hours on select trims. The Woodland and XSE add DC fast-charging for quick top-offs on the go.

All-electric range allows many Tustin and Irvine commuters to complete daily trips without using gasoline.
Yes. All-wheel drive is standard on every 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid trim. The system uses an electric motor to power the rear wheels, automatically adjusting power distribution for confident handling across varied road conditions.
The SE, Woodland, and XSE trims can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped — a significant increase over the previous generation’s 2,500-pound capacity. Toyota does not rate the GR SPORT trim for towing.
Charging time depends on the trim and charger type. The Woodland and XSE support DC fast charging and faster Level 2 charging, reaching a full charge in approximately 2.5 hours on a 240-volt outlet. The SE and GR SPORT use a standard onboard charger that takes approximately 3.5 to 4 hours on Level 2. A standard 120-volt household outlet takes longer and is best suited for overnight charging.
