Discover the Toyota RAV4 GR SPORT 2026

For over 25 years, the Toyota RAV4 has established itself as a benchmark in the compact SUV segment. Appreciated for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and long-term value, it has become the choice of millions of drivers. With the arrival of the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4 GR SPORT, Toyota offers a version that adds a more dynamic dimension to this well-established vehicle.

Developed in collaboration with Toyota GAZOO Racing, the first RAV4 GR SPORT designed for the North American market is aimed at drivers seeking a more engaging driving experience, without compromising the versatility for which the RAV4 is renowned.

A Motorsport-Inspired Design

From first glance, the RAV4 GR SPORT asserts its character. Its design includes a GR Matrix grille, a prominent rear spoiler, and 20-inch alloy wheels. Red-painted brake calipers and various contrasting black accents enhance its sporty look.

Inside, Toyota continues this approach with exclusive GR SPORT seats adorned with red stitching, motorsport-inspired materials, and several details unique to the GAZOO Racing division. Altogether, it creates a modern cabin that remains comfortable for daily commutes and long road trips alike.

A More Dynamic Drive

The RAV4 GR SPORT doesn't just stand out for its appearance. Toyota GAZOO Racing engineers also worked on the vehicle's handling.

This version features a specially tuned suspension, high-performance shock absorbers, and increased chassis rigidity to deliver more precise steering and greater cornering stability. Paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel also enhance the driving experience.

For drivers who appreciate a sportier ride without sacrificing the comfort of an SUV, these enhancements bring a very distinct personality to the RAV4.

Performance-Driven Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain

In Canada, the RAV4 GR SPORT is offered exclusively with Toyota's new sixth-generation plug-in hybrid powertrain.

This technology produces up to 324 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful RAV4s ever marketed. It also offers a driving range of up to 80 kilometers in fully electric mode—an improvement of roughly 20% compared to the previous generation.

For many drivers, this range allows them to complete a large portion of their daily trips without using gas, while keeping the peace of mind offered by a plug-in hybrid for longer journeys.

Technology Designed for Today

The RAV4 GR SPORT also benefits from Toyota's latest technological innovations.

Among the new features is a next-generation Toyota multimedia system, a touchscreen available up to 12.9 inches depending on the trim, and a new, more intuitive user interface. These upgrades aim to make every trip simpler, more connected, and more enjoyable.

Safety Remains a Priority

Even in its sportiest iteration, the RAV4 stays true to one of Toyota's core values: safety. The 2026 model debuts the new generation of Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, a suite of driver assistance technologies designed to aid the driver in various driving situations. This evolution notably benefits from new software capabilities developed by Toyota to improve the performance of its assistance systems.
