We get up close with the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Adventure HEV CVT

Toyota Motor Philippines had one heck of a surprise at the opening leg of the 2026 Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippines Cup held at Riverpark in Cavite. Aside from getting a chance to watch the Vios and Tamaraw duke it out on a street circuit, the automaker also displayed several of its latest & upcoming vehicles.

One of those is the all-new RAV4 HEV, which was shown in the 2.5L Adventure HEV CVT variant last weekend. We were able to take a closer look at the electrified compact crossover and were also able to check out its equipment list before its official launch.

Starting with the exterior, the RAV4 Adventure comes with 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 235/60 series Dunlop e.Sport Maxx tires, which are specifically designed for electrified vehicles. On the other hand, the Limited HEV gets 235/50 series tires with 20-inch alloy wheels. The Adventure variant also comes with overfenders on the wheel arches that further give it a more rugged appearance. Toyota even installed bumper guards on the front & rear for extra safety when going off the beaten path.
