- 2027 Toyota RAV4 PHEV adds a driver-side NACS port to every trim, with Level 3 DC fast-charging capabilities and access to Tesla Superchargers without a separate adapter; each grade also includes an 11 kW onboard AC charger.
- Toyota pairs the sixth-generation RAV4 plug-in system with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, two electric motors and a high-capacity traction battery, with standard AWD and combined output of 321 horsepower.
- 2027 Toyota RAV4 PHEV offers up to 52 miles of pure-electric range on the base SE trim and comes in SE, XSE, Woodland and GR Sport trims.
- 2027 Toyota RAV4 pairs a standard 12.3-inch digital cluster and 10.5-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; Limited gets a standard 12.9-inch touchscreen with a nine-speaker JBL Premium Audio system, while XSE offers it as an option.
- 2027 Toyota RAV4 updates Woodland with new springs, shocks and jounce bumpers for 9.1 inches of ground clearance, plus standard all-terrain tires, roof rails with cross bars and a tow hitch receiver; GR Sport pairs GT-tuned suspension and steering with sports seating and a standard PHEV powertrain with AWD.
- Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 is standard on every 2027 RAV4, including Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Proactive Driving Assist and a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection.
- Toyota RAV4 was the company’s best-selling U.S. nameplate last year; 2027 HEVs are expected at dealerships later this year and PHEVs in early 2027, with starting prices of $32,300 and $42,100, respectively, before a $1,595 destination fee.
Why it matters: RAV4 PHEV buyers gain direct Tesla Supercharger access without an adapter and up to 52 electric miles, while the $42,100 plug-in version costs $9,800 more than the $32,300 hybrid. PHEV availability also arrives later, in early 2027, creating two separate rollout windows for shoppers.
