Toyota PH officially confirms next-gen RAV4; launches next month

After being spotted on the Department of Energy's (DOE) list of recognized hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) last month and being confirmed by Toyota Motor Philippines itself (TMP), the sixth-generation compact crossover is getting ready for its debut in the country.

That's right, the all-new RAV4 is set to make its Philippine launch, and TMP just announced it will be unveiled this March 2026. It was already previewed last week during a golf tournament, and it appears to be the top-of-the-line LTD variant, as shown in the teaser image above. The LTD model comes with huge alloy wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, C-shaped LED headlights & daytime running lights, muscular wheel arches, and dynamic LED taillights.

There's also another variant of the all-new RAV4 TMP that will launch next month, although we have yet to see it in full. But based on the DOE listing we saw last month, the other mystery variant TMP will reveal will most likely be the Adventure (ADV) variant. This one features a more rugged exterior, comprising bumper guards, thicker tires, blacked-out styling elements, skid plates, and black body cladding.

Official specifications have yet to be revealed, although Toyota has already mentioned that the next-generation RAV4 will only be available as an HEV. That means the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) GR Sport will most likely not be offered (at least not now, if we're being optimistic). This also means the ADV and LTD models will only get the electrified 2.5L A25A-FXS four-cylinder engine that's shared with the Camry. But unlike the Camry, which is only FWD, the all-new RAV4 will go back to its roots with AWD.

Those who want to place a reservation and know more about the all-new RAV4 can now visit their nearest Toyota dealership.
