New Zealand’s favourite SUV is getting a bold new upgrade — and you can be among the first to hear all about it.

The sixth-generation Toyota RAV4 is set to arrive in New Zealand in early 2026 — and it’s bringing a bold new look, smarter tech, and more electrified powertrain options than ever before. 

With a refreshed exterior and interior, upgraded safety features, and the latest hybrid and multimedia systems, the new-generation RAV4 is designed to meet the needs of Kiwi drivers.

The new-generation RAV4 will be available with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain in both 2WD and AWD, offering more electric-only driving and lower emissions. And for those after a sportier edge, the GR Sport variant delivers motorsport-inspired performance and standout styling. 

You’ll also still be able to choose Toyota’s trusted hybrid system in both AWD and 2WD configurations — combining power and efficiency with everyday practicality. More details here.

Register your interest to get the latest updates on the new-generation RAV4 and our SUV range. We will keep you up to date and share more details as they become available later this year.
