​​Toyota Gifts 1 Millionth SmartPath User With New RAV4​

Toyota SmartPath rolled out to customers in 2020 to make it easier to go from researching your next new vehicle to actually shopping for it at a dealership. This technology is designed to provide customers with an easy way to learn about new vehicles outside of regular business hours, on Sundays, or at times when they are unable to visit a dealership in person.  

A Smarter Way to Shop for Your Next Toyota 

To celebrate its effectiveness in providing buyers with an easy shopping experience, Toyota gifted its one millionth customer, Dorianne Malone, with a brand-new Toyota RAV4. Dorianne, a school administrator and mom located in Philadelphia, PA, recently started shopping for her third Toyota and used SmartPath to research and buy her new car. However, once she arrived at the dealership, Toyota representatives were there with a giant check for $45,487.88 to pay off her new Toyota.  

A Word from Toyota 

“Reaching 1 million vehicles sold is a huge milestone for SmartPath and a testament to the hard work of our dealers and teams,” said John Myers, General Manager of Retail Transformation for SmartPath Sales at Toyota Motor North America. “SmartPath has become a true differentiator for the Toyota brand, and we are excited to be shaping the future of the car-buying experience.” 

The All-New 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid 

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 features a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force 4-cylinder hybrid along with a plug-in hybrid variant. The standard hybrid produces 226 horsepower with FWD and 236 with AWD and can achieve an estimated 48 mpg city and 42 mpg highway when equipped with front-wheel drive or 45 city and 39 highway when all-wheel drive is optioned.  

Meet The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid 

The new plug-in hybrid RAV4 features a 22.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, producing a total of 324 horsepower. On pure electricity, the new RAV4 plug-in can drive up to 52 miles in SE and XSE trims and return 44 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.  

Towing With the New RAV4 Is Easy 

You wouldn’t normally think of a hybrid crossover for towing, but the all-new RAV4 can tow up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. So whether you and the family enjoy boating or jet skiing on the weekends, or you need to tow a U-Haul to move or take your kids off to college, the new RAV4 can handle those duties without breaking a sweat.
