The 2026 RAV4 GR Sport

With the collaboration of Toyota Gazoo Racing, meet the first-ever RAV4 GR Sport!

The 2026 RAV4 arrival date is creeping closer and we have one final RAV4 model to introduce. Welcome the first-ever RAV4 GR Sport that will be joining the RAV4 model lineup. The Toyota RAV4 has led the automotive industry in the compact SUV segment, currently holding the spot for best selling small SUV in America. Now the RAV4 has something that its competitors don’t have, an SUV that is more than your basic “sporty” rendition. Every curve of this RAV4 was designed with a hand from Toyota Gazoo Racing to upgrade its dynamic drive to a new level. Its functional components like front lip and rear wing spoiler for balanced downforce, air ducts in the front grille and bumper to help channel air and reduce drag, offset wheels with performance tires for max grip, and drive battery placement that lower its center of gravity and stabilizes the chassis. Lets dive into the specs of the 2026 RAV4 GR Sport.
