Toyota Is Going All-In on Electric SUVs With Three New Models

Toyota spent years letting its hybrid lineup do the talking while other automakers raced ahead with battery-electric vehicles. That cautious approach is over.

The 2026 RAV4 Woodland Hybrid Wants to Be Your Weekend Adventure Rig

Toyota's redesigned RAV4 lineup has gone all-hybrid for 2026, and the Woodland trim is making a strong pitch to anyone who owns a bike rack, a kayak, or a campsite reservation.

And after recent testing, the numbers back up the marketing. The RAV4 Woodland Hybrid produces 236 hp and hits 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, earning an EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined even with all-terrain tires. Standard features include factory crossbars, a 2-inch trailer hitch, a 1,500-watt power outlet, and all-weather floor protection. A plug-in hybrid option with 324 hp and up to 49 miles of electric range will arrive in spring 2026. ...
