Worth to Hype? Here is The New 2025 Toyota RAV4 First Look!
The RAV4 has become Toyota's bestseller over the past decade and is near ubiquitous across the United States. Toyota's compact is also the most popular vehicle in an overwhelmingly popular segment, facing off against the Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Ford Escape. Considering the fifth-generation model's 2019 introduction, Toyota may introduce a redesigned RAV4 for 2025.
The current-generation RAV4 is easy to like. Toyota delivered three powertrain options, usable tech, and a practical layout, plus great safety scores and driver assists. We never loved the driving experience of base models and their thrashy engines, but the hybrid and RAV4 Prime supplied more refined powertrains and in the case of the Prime, superior ride quality. We called the RAV4 Hybrid Toyota's best product when it beat out an equivalent Honda CR-V in a comparison test.
The fifth-gen RAV4 is offered with gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrain options. We'd be surprised to see the automaker drop the basic gas-only model on this bread-and-butter SUV. However, in recent years, the Venza, Sienna, and Sequoia have all launched exclusively with hybrid powertrains. Toyota will likely offer an updated version of the old model's 2.5-liter I-4 hybrid setup, but it could also swap the base gas engine for a tweaked Prius powertrain for better efficiency.
