Toyota RAV4 2026 tested: more space, more efficiency, fewer surprises

The new 2026 Toyota RAV4 remains a straightforward, sensible SUV, designed more for everyday use than for making a statement. Space, comfort and an efficiency-led lineup stay at the core of the package, qualities that have long made it a strong choice in Europe as well.

During the test, it stands out for easy driving and a mature hybrid system that delivers good fuel economy and smooth operation in town. It may not be the most exciting car in the segment, but its overall balance and focus on substance are still persuasive.
