2026 Toyota RAV4: information, price and comparisons

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is the first of a new sixth generation, and it changes more inside than out. Every 2026 RAV4 is electrified and has all-wheel drive: seven hybrid trims from CA$37,500, all built in Ontario, and four plug-in hybrid trims from CA$48,750, imported from Japan. The hybrid gains power, to 236 hp, the plug-in hybrid jumps to 324 hp and up to 89 km of electric range, and every trim gets Toyota's new Arene software, a larger screen and Toyota Safety Sense 4.0. Hybrids went on sale in January 2026, and the plug-in hybrid followed in the spring.

2026 RAV4 rebate, warranty and recalls

Toyota lists the 2026 RAV4 plug-in hybrid SE as eligible for the federal EV Affordability Program: up to CA$2,500 on a purchase or a lease of 48 months or longer, CA$1,875 on a 36-month lease and CA$1,250 on a 24-month lease. Because the plug-in hybrid is imported, the final transaction value must be CA$50,000 or less; the SE's MSRP is under that, but Toyota's estimated vehicle price with fees is above it, so confirm the figure with your dealer. Hybrid trims are not eligible.

CoverageWhat to expect
Basic warranty3 years or 60,000 km
Powertrain warranty5 years or 100,000 km
Hybrid components8 years or 160,000 km
Hybrid battery10 years or 240,000 km

Recall: in October 2026, Toyota recalled 7,847 2026 RAV4 plug-in hybrids in Canada (Transport Canada 2026-484) because motor-generator control software can cut drive power. Check any 2026 plug-in hybrid's VIN and confirm the update was done.
