CR's Take

Toyota experienced runaway success with the outgoing RAV4. Its popularity soared, making it the most popular passenger vehicle in the U.S., second only to the Ford F-Series, with sales approaching half a million vehicles a year. That is why RAV4s are ubiquitous on American roads. Consequently, it is no surprise that the automaker took a conservative approach with the redesigned 2026 RAV4, making incremental improvements across the board, rather than taking on risks from reinvention. This mirrors the strategy seen with the latest Camry.
