2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid: Redesign & Release Date – There have been rumors circulating that the impending 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid would get a facelift at some point. To yet, Toyota has not made any formal announcements on the changes that will be implemented for the next model year. The following is a possible breakdown of the 2024 RAV4 Hybrid’s features.
We anticipate that the current-generation Toyota RAV4 will enter its sixth year of production in 2024, which will be marked by the release of the 2024 RAV4. Since the debut of the model for the 2019 model year, Toyota has made only minor adjustments, such as the addition of some new technological features and new trim levels. However, taking into account how successful the RAV4 has been in terms of sales, it is perhaps understandable why Toyota would not want to mess too much with success.
We anticipate that this pattern will carry over into the 2024 RAV4, particularly in light of the fact that rumors are circulating regarding a new generation being introduced for the 2025 model year. It is possible that Toyota may remove the gas engine from the RAV4 and replace it with an exclusively hybrid lineup. However, for the time being, the RAV4 competes against competitors that have been redesigned more recently, such as the Honda CR-V and the Kia Sportage. You can learn more about how the RAV4 compares to other vehicles in the small SUV class by reading our Expert Rating, which is provided further down in this article.
Redesign
In 2024, after receiving a facelift, the RAV4 Hybrid would debut with an upgraded version of its external design. It is possible that the headlights on the electric compact SUV will be upgraded, and that the front fascia will be redesigned with new grilles. Similar improvements, such as new taillights and a redesigned rear bumper, might be of use in enhancing the appearance of the back end of the SUV. Because mid-cycle updates are typically minor, we do not anticipate that there will be many significant differences between the new model and the one that is currently available for purchase.
When it comes to the cabin of the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, we do not know what Toyota has planned. The latest generation of SUVs has a tough appearance with huge physical controls and a part in the form of a v located on the bottom of the center console. The RAV4 Hybrid’s appearance is even more dated by its tiered dashboard and the way the infotainment screen is positioned on top of the dashboard. It is possible that Toyota may alter the design of the dashboard and the center console of the RAV4 Hybrid in 2024.
The most recent iteration of the RAV4 Hybrid is equipped with a touchscreen measuring eight inches in size, a digital instrument cluster measuring seven inches in size, wireless smartphone connectivity, navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, six audio speakers, Bluetooth, and three USB ports. There is a touchscreen display measuring 10.5″ inches, a digital instrument cluster measuring 12.3 inches, two additional USB ports, and 11 audio speakers that can be selected as options. We anticipate that it will be possible to purchase vehicles with these characteristics for the 2024 model year.
The present generation of the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid comes standard with a comprehensive array of safety measures; this should not change for the 2024 model year. Ahead collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high-beam assist are all standard on the hybrid model. A surround-view parking camera, a rear cross-traffic warning system, blind spot monitoring, and front and rear parking sensors are among the optional features that may be selected.
Engine
We do not believe that Toyota will upgrade the powertrain of the RAV4 Hybrid for the 2024 model year. The modern SUV is equipped with a four-cylinder engine that is 2.5 liters in capacity as well as two electric motors. It is estimated that 219 horsepower will be produced in total. All RAV4 Hybrid models come standard with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox that can be set to any range of speeds. The RAV4 Hybrid may get a combined fuel economy of up to 40 miles per gallon.
When It Will Be Available and Its Cost?
We anticipate that manufacturing of the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid will start in the autumn of this year, which means that we should start seeing it towards the end of the year. Prices for the 2024 model year may be higher than those for the currently available model depending on whether or not a refresh is performed. There is now a price range available that goes from $32,060 to $40,365.
