Toyota RAV4

It’s best to think of compact SUVs the way most people think of pizza: Even if it’s not that good, it’s not that bad. The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is efficient and does everything a compact SUV needs to do, but this generation has been around since the 2019 model year and is overdue for a serious update. Good news: That update is here!

The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are age-old rivals, and with the debut of the all-new 2026 RAV4, we wanted to see how the specs of the two compare.

Whether you seek performance, off-road capability or simple normalcy, there appears to be a 2026 Toyota RAV4 for everyone.

A new generation of one of the bestselling vehicles in the country is always going to be big news, but the 2026 Toyota RAV4 is major announcement stacked on top of major announcement.

Toyota is doing its best to build anticipation for the new 2026 RAV4, releasing a second trio of teaser photos.

We’ve gathered the three most fuel-efficient SUVs on sale for the 2025 model year in each of four powertrain classes: gas-only, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full battery electric.

With up to 42 miles of all-electric range, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid remains one of the most impressive and versatile PHEV crossovers on the market — just don’t expect it to come cheap.

Toyota released a trio of bird’s-eye photos of a vehicle promising “all-new style, from urban streets to outdoor retreats,” that imply a new RAV4 is on the way.

If you’re shopping for a new car, chances are you’re considering one or more of the seven compact SUVs in this comparison test. See how each SUV did in both subjective and objective categories.

As in prior contests, our complaints with the Rogue were few, and the SUV’s good-to-great performance in most of our scored categories is a testament to its all-around goodness.
