2027 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid: What’s New
2027 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid: What’s New
A NACS charging port, a faster home charger and a taller Woodland. Here is what is new for 2027.
The 2027 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid gets easier to charge. Every grade adds a NACS port with DC fast charging and an upgraded 11 kW onboard charger, and the Woodland gets a revised suspension that lifts ground clearance to 9.1 inches.
If you commute around Victorville, Hesperia or Apple Valley and like the idea of running on electric power for short trips with a gas engine ready for longer ones, the RAV4 PHEV is worth a look. Here is what is new for 2027, how the four grades compare, and when Toyota expects these models to arrive.
EV range and fuel economy figures are manufacturer estimates from Toyota. Your results will vary with how and where you drive, the weather and charging habits.

Four grades, one plug-in system
Every 2027 RAV4 PHEV uses Toyota’s sixth-generation plug-in hybrid system: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, electric motors and a high-capacity battery, rated at 321 total system horsepower, with AWD standard. The grades differ in style, equipment and range.
| Grade | EV range | Combined mpg | What stands out |
|---|---|---|---|
| SE | 52 miles | 41 | Core RAV4 design with sporty touches like dark wheels |
| XSE | 50 miles | 39 | Sporty touches plus available two-tone paint |
| Woodland | 46 miles | 37 | All-terrain tires, roof rails, tow-hitch receiver, 9.1 inches of ground clearance |
| GR SPORT | 45 miles | 37 | Matrix grille with functional vents, widened fender flares, rear spoiler |
EV range and combined mpg are manufacturer estimates from Toyota. Your results will vary.
The pattern is simple: the more rugged or sporty the grade, the less electric range Toyota estimates. If most of your driving is short trips close to home, the SE and XSE give you the most miles on electric power. If weekends mean dirt roads, the Woodland trades some range for added capability.
What stays the same
Toyota says the sixth-generation RAV4 design carries over, so the basics you already like are still here.
- Three exterior looks: core, rugged and sport
- 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
- Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 standard on every grade
- Toyota Audio Multimedia system standard on every grade
